International Cat Day is celebrated every year on August 8 😻😻😻. It was created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) to raise awareness about cats, promote their welfare, and encourage people to show them some extra love. Many use it as a day to: Share cute cat photos (as if we needed an excuse). Advocate for cat adoption from shelters. Educate about responsible pet care, like spaying/neutering and keeping cats safe. Support organizations that rescue and protect cats. It
