8th of August – World Cat Day

There are festivals dedicated to these furry pets in many countries. At the international level, this holiday appeared in 2002 and today unites millions of owners of these animals around the world.

World Cat Day is celebrated annually on August 8 at the initiative of the International Fund for the Protection of Animals "Animal Welfare", not only to honor furry couch potatoes but to draw attention to the problem of stray cats and cats.

After all, there are few people on the planet who remain indifferent to these fluffy, agile, affectionate and very intelligent animals. There is even science about cats - felinology, which emphasizes that cats are very smart and useful.

It's no secret that cats from time immemorial have been and remain the most common pets in the whole world: about 80% of all inhabitants of the Earth keep a pet, and more than half of them gave their preference to cats, followed by dogs.

In addition to “aesthetic pleasure” (after all, what could be more pleasant than a purring warm friend who fawns on your lap) cats also perform a number of functions useful for humans. They perfectly exterminate rodents, treat some diseases, and even prolong the life of their owner. So, American doctors have found that cat owners are 40% less likely to suffer from heart disease, and they also have fewer heart attacks and strokes. And British doctors have developed a whole "cat therapy", with the help of which they propose to treat a number of diseases, in particular - inflammation of the joints and gynecological diseases.

On the very same holiday - the Day of Cats - the heroes of the occasion is especially honored and pampered in every possible way - they buy various delicacies, new houses, and toys for their pets. In a number of countries, special parks for walking cats and cat shops, cafes, and hotels were even timed to coincide with this day, where you can settle your pet for a while with great comfort.

Of course, you can endlessly talk and talk about these wonderful and graceful animals, close relatives of the tigers and leopards themselves. Therefore, on this holiday, I would like to wish all cats to have their own home, caring owners and delicious food. Well, we humans must remember that we are responsible for those we have tamed, and thank the animals again.
