The International Fund for Animal Welfare established the first International Cat Day on August 8, 2002. The honorary holiday takes place each year on this date. The holiday is meant to bring awareness to cat care and welfare. We believe that keeping cats indoors is a great way for cats and native wildlife to stay safe. To learn more about this issue, look at the American Bird Conservancy's Cats Indoors site.
Happy International Cat Day to all!
While we admit that most cats probably wouldn't tolerate wearing a full costume for more than a few minutes, let alone all of Halloween, the outfits and costume pieces featured here are perfect in short bursts and make fun props for holiday photos. Here are some of our favorite Halloween and cosplay looks for kitty:
This fun cat toy from Yeowww comes pre-filled with quality organic catnip. The toy itself has a cute Halloween theme and doubles as holiday decor as it entertains kitty!
Get ready for Halloween or a fun photo opportunity with this awesome and funny pet costume of Mickey Mouse! Your feline friend will look so cute in this darling character costume!
Black Cat Appreciation Day is meant to bring awareness to the fact that black cats have the lowest adoption rate among shelter cats. Many shelters offer special rates on black cat adoptions, especially on this date. Black Cat Appreciation Day is on August 17th every year.
