Today is Respect your Cat Day, celebrated on this day every year because on March 28, 1384, Richard II of England issued an edict forbidding the consumption of cats.
Just to be clear, around here, every day is Respect Your Cat Day. It should be at your house, too. But in case it isn’t, start with today and work from there. You have to start somewhere.
Need some ideas about ways to celebrate? How about a really cozy bed all of your own, maybe even getting breakfast served there?
This is an example of how not to respect your cat. No touching the tail!
Instead, we prefer treats as a form of respect. Lots of treats. Large treats.
Hopefully, this gives you some ideas about ways you can properly respect your cat on this important holiday!
Clooney says
Yay kitties! You have some pretty fantastic ideas for “Respect Your Cat Day”! Treats, comfortable beddies…that’s awesome! Have a wonderful weekend!
The Island Cats says
We agree…around here, every day is Respect Your Cat Day. But since today is the day it’s officially recognized…we want lots of treats today!
The Swiss Cats says
We totally agree with you, every day is a good day for respecting the kitty ! Another idea for “Respect Your Cat Day” could be : don’t use the vacuum while the cat is sleeping. Purrs
Marg says
We so agree with those Islands cats. Everyday around here is respect your cat day. We have that Person totally trained. But a special day sounds good to all of us. So hope all of you have a fun day.
Fuzzy Tales says
LOL @ the treats, large treats!
Oy! One day a year to forbid eating cats? 🙁 We realize times are very different now, of course. And we’re very glad to be house kitties in 2014 where EVERY day definitely is respect your cat day.
Hannah and Lucy says
All we can say is thank goodness for Richard II – phew that could have been nasty!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

Thanks to Richard II for forbidding the consumption of cats! We agree that EVERY day is “Respect Your Cat Day.” Treats, comfy beds, and lots of toys are the purrfect ways to celebrate!
Sweet Purrfections says
We agree that every day is respect your cat day. Mom Paula bought us a special cat bed and we won’t use it. We prefer her bed!
Katie Isabella says
Guys, I rule the roost here. I get respect every say. So much so I start to feel a little sorry for the mom.
Angel AbbyGrace says
Miss Ashton Jinx says we could respect him more if he saw more pictures of you!
Brian says
Dang, I didn’t know about this day…hmmmm, got some plotting to do. Those photos sure made us smile!
Cathy Keisha says
Respect your Cat Day should be everyday but I don’t think TW gives me the respect I deserve! She works for me but after an 18-hour day, I can hear her cursing me unde her breath.
Katnip Lounge says
EATING CATS????
Mommy says we’re tender little morsels and now we’re a little worried she might break the law…
Whipple and Pepper says
We didn’t know today was respect your cat day. The humans do give us treats, but maybe we should let them know that we should get extra treats today. Ashton, Newton, and Pierre all look great today. Hehe, that’s is one BIG treat that Ashton is going to enjoy.
Random Felines says
we suspect Ashton would like something species inappropriate for the day too
