to spread the word about this unique holiday! “What greater gift than
the love of a cat?” Charles Dickens once mused. Cats are one of the most
beloved human companions of all time. They were first domesticated in
the Middle East’s Fertile Crescent as early as 12,000 years ago. When
humans relied on hunting as their main source of food, dogs were most
useful, but when the first agricultural societies emerged, cats became
invaluable. Domesticated cats became responsible for keeping grain
stores free of mice and other rodents. Today, cats can be found in 34%
of American households, making them the most popular house pet in the
United States.
Pet lifestyle expert and animal welfare advocate Colleen Paige established National Cat Day
in 2005. In honor of the occasion, celebrate cats and the unconditional
love and companionship they give to their owners. If you don't own a
cat, volunteer at your local animal shelter or make a donation. It’s the
purrrrfect way to show you care!
