If felids are not your thing, my apologies, but Jerry would never forgive me for not marking the event somehow. So declared by the International Fund of Animal Welfare to raise awareness of feline needs, you can also simply use the day to gawk at cat pictures on the internet (it appears to be the internet’s primary function anyway).
Twitter has two handy hashtags to make this even easier. Here’s the other one.
Use it as an excuse to show yours off, or just indulge yourself. They’ve got real cats, literary cats, sci-fi cats, celebrity cats and pretty much any other kind of cat.
It's #InternationalCatDay aka the best day of the year!
So here's a gif of Ten with a cat! Enjoy!

Very soon, the big black felicopters will arrive, to take us all to the kittention centers, where we will await our instructions from the One Cat Government ….
When you have cats, everyday is cat day.
Celebrate by going up to a food dispenser and repeatedly asking for fish.
Ah, The Cat from the Red Dwarf series! How I miss that show…
Also – perhaps more significantly – earth overshoot day http://www.overshootday.org/
when we use Nature’s budget for the year & then go overdrawn…
That’s an interesting idea, though I would love to hear more about how it is calculated. (After all, different resources “come due” at different times.)
Gasp! My favourite Doctor!!
You know what’s extra good about this? A friend just sent me a post about World Dog Day — This post shows that World Cat Day came first! π
