Today, August 8, 2022 is "International Cat Day" . A day to celebrate man's ' most common and ancient friends' and to raise awareness of ways to safeguard cats from cruelty.
So today, apart from pampering your cat with special treats and hugs, there are other things you can do on Cat day. Like volunteering at a Cat shelter or you might finally make up your mind to adopt a cat or you can visit the zoo and watch some of the really big cats.
An interesting fact about cats: The cat's brain has 300 million neurons as compared to dogs with 160 million neurons. This very high octane brain power fuels their intelligence.
Do you have a cat? What makes your cat special to you? Do you prefer a dog or cat as a pet.?
Picture shows the Ragdoll breed of cats, they are known to be very affectionate.

There is a special day for this??? I mean, cats get their way every day, twice on Sunday's for Heaven's sake. One thing about cats, they definitely rule the roost.
Our cat's name is Grayson and we do have the warehouse cat Cal at our house often. I used to prefer dogs, but lately cats seem so much easier, especially when we travel, and we travel a lot.

May I pamper my fishies instead? They won't put me in the hospital with allergies.

@Kandae11 I gave them a small bit of my peach a little while ago. They're in now worrying bits off of it.

That is very nice to know. I love cats more than dogs actually but my family don't want to. I hope to adopt in the future

I have a cat. His name is Tinker, and I love him like crazy! My avatar picture is him as a kitten, so you can get an idea of what he looks like. He is so, so, so spoiled, but I can't help myself! I love dogs, too, but not quite as much as cats, and they're more work to take care of them.

@Kandae11 I am a Siamese addict. This guy came from a local animal shelter. He had another name but hubby and I are writers. We like to play with words. I wanted to call him Teak and hubby suggested Beau Teak so we did it. Bouquet? Kind of sounds like that or you could call him Handsome Teak!

I have two Indian cats. They stay in the portico. I love pets but don't keep them as I am old and can't manage them long.

When I was a kid, I had a cat. She passed. I don't have a dog or cat at the moment. I prefer a cat as a pet.

@Kandae11 Yes, it was a difficult time, especially for a kid. I loved her very much.

I wonder who counted all those neurons? I have friends who have ragdolls and they do seem lovely pets.
