How to Celebrate International Cat Day – 7 Purr-fect Ideas

How to Celebrate International Cat Day – 7 Purr-fect Ideas

1. Host a Mini Cat Party (Yes, Seriously!)

Who says parties are just for humans? Set up a cozy celebration with:

  • Tiny party hats (for both you and your cat—if they tolerate it!)

  • Cat-friendly treats (like tuna cupcakes or catnip snacks)

  • Toys and games (feather wands, laser pointers, or crinkle balls)

Snap some adorable pics of your feline guest of honor—bonus points if they actually wear the hat!

2. Spoil Your Feline with Gifts from cats-lover.com

What better way to celebrate than with new toys, cozy beds, or stylish accessories? At cats-lover.com, we’ve got everything to make your cat feel like royalty:

  • Interactive toys (to keep them entertained for hours)

  • Luxury cat beds (because every kitty deserves a throne)

  • Chic collars & bowties (for that extra dose of charm)

3. Share the Love with Cat-Themed Social Posts

Spread the feline joy online by:

  • Posting your favorite cat pics (use #InternationalCatDay for maximum reach!)

  • Sharing funny cat memes or quotes (the internet was made for cats, after all)

  • Tagging fellow cat lovers (or even your favorite cat influencers)

Not sure what to post? A cute pic of your cat with a heartfelt caption will do the trick!

4. Support Cat Charities & Shelters

Not all cats have loving homes—so why not give back? Consider:

  • Donating to a local shelter (food, blankets, or toys are always needed)

  • Volunteering your time (play with adoptable kitties!)

  • Spreading awareness (share adoption posts to help cats find families)

5. Bake Cat-Shaped Treats (For You or Your Cat!)

Get creative in the kitchen with:

  • Cat-shaped cookies (human-friendly or cat-safe recipes)

  • DIY tuna or salmon treats (easy, healthy, and kitty-approved)

  • A "cake" made of stacked wet food (for the ultimate feline feast)

Even if your cat turns up their nose, you’ll have fun making (and eating) them!

6. Have a Cat Movie Marathon

Snuggle up with your furball and enjoy classics like:

  • "The Aristocats" (a Disney must-watch)

  • "Puss in Boots" (for some swashbuckling fun)

  • Documentaries like "Kedi" (a beautiful look at street cats in Istanbul)

Extra credit if your cat actually watches with you!

7. Adopt or Foster a Cat (If You Can!)

If you’ve been considering adding a feline to your family, today’s the day!

  • Visit a shelter (you might meet your new best friend)

  • Foster a cat temporarily (help socialize a shy or injured kitty)

  • Spread the word (encourage others to adopt, don’t shop!)
