National Cat Day

national_cat_day_xsIt’s holiday time! We aren’t talking about that orange-and-black trick-or-treat nonsense. We’re celebrating a much more important day today: National Cat Day!

It’s true that every day is cat day, especially on the internet. And super-especially at our house.

But it isn’t that way for every cat everywhere. National Cat Day was was founded in 2005 to celebrate the cats in our lives for the unconditional love and companionship they bestow upon us.

National Cat Day is also to also recognize the number of cats that need to be rescued each year. Here at our blog and around the blogosphere, we know how many cats are in shelters and need homes, but the general public doesn’t, so let’s remember to share that information so that on next year’s National Cat Day, more cats can say that they’re living the good life, too.

Ashton in cuddly bed


The head peep is attending BarkWorld/MeowWorld Social Media & Pet Blogging conference for the next few days, where she’ll get to learn more about blogging, photography, and even video. (You’ve seen her video skills around here before. She needs all the help she can get.) While she’s hanging out with other bloggers, we are going to be hanging out with Aunt Orvis.

This means a couple things things: We get lots of treats! It also means that we won’t be able to visit and comment until after she’s back. Don’t worry, we aren’t going silent. We have blog posts scheduled to go live while she is away. Also, since Plush Ashton is going with her, you’ll be able to keep up with Plush Ashton’s adventures on our Facebook page and Twitter account.

    There’s nothing better than seeing kitties live the good life, and we definitely hope to see more. I hope your mom enjoys the conference and look forward to hearing all about it.

    I never knew Ashton’s stripes were like that! I love her pattern.

    We think every day is Cat Day, but at least there’s a day that officially recognizes it. The mom says she looks forward to seeing your head peep at BW/MW.

    I’m lucky to celebrate National Cat Day in a forever home. I wish every kitty had that luxury. Hope you have fun with Aunt Orvis, but don’t overdo it on the treats….at least not on the first day!
