Today is National Cat Day! Celebrated every year on Oct. 29, National Cat Day was created to celebrate, honor and show our furry feline friends how much they mean to us.
According to the official National Cat Day website, NCD was created to give cats their well-deserved moment in the sun. The founder and creator of this day, Colleen Paige is one of the most popular Pet and Family Lifestyle Expert & Animal Welfare Advocate's in the world. While Paige has created awareness for all types of animals over the years, the number one basis of National Cat Day is to raise awareness of the number of cats that need to be rescued, sheltered and adopted each year.
So how can you make a difference? Well that is easy! First and foremost you can adopt a cat from your local shelter or cat rescue. Not only will you be saving a life, you will be gaining a new friend! If you can't adopt, you can still make a world of difference in helping out the pet community in several other ways.
You can donate blankets, food and toys to animal welfare organizations or volunteer at your local shelter and offer to play with some cats available for adoption, clean cages and litter boxes or anything else they may need help with. Believe it or not, just by lending a helping a hand for an hour or two can make a big difference.

"Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain
I just told my cats about this. They told me if we think one day a year is enough, we're crazy.
