It's National Hug Your Cat Day! Have You Hugged Your Cat Today?

HUG YOUR CAT DAY: JUNE 4TH

BE SURE TO GIVE YOUR CAT AN EXTRA HUG OR TWO TODAY!

"Time spent with cats is never wasted."

... Sigmund Freud

Today is Hug Your Cat Day... it's a purr-fectly paw-some day to show your feline babies some extra love! That's not to say that those of us who live with and love our cats ever really need an excuse to show our fur babies love and give them an extra hug or two.

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."

... Anatole France

Have you heard? Hugging and cuddling a cat is good for your health! It helps alleviate negative moods, reduces stress levels, and engenders calm. I know that's true for me when I hug my cat. I don't wait until Hug Your Cat Day to hug my cat... Mr. Marlow gets hugs every day all year long.

"What greater gift than the love of a cat?"

... Charles Dickens

If you don't have a cat to hug today why not borrow one from a friend? Don't have a friend from whom to borrow a cat, why not adopt one at your local shelter? Lots of beautiful kittens and cats looking for their forever homes. Don't forget that hugging a cat is good for your health today and any day!

"All you need is the love of a cat."

Leanne Smith hi Leanne... of course, you probably know I don't understand how someone could not be a cat person! My husband always used to say he wasn't a cat person... but I didn't come without cats... and now he loves them.

Leanne Smith hi Leanne... well, we have both-- a cat and a dog and love both equally. At one time we had two cats and two dogs at the same time. When we lived in NY City, Paris, London, Abu Dhabi we only had cats... between travel, apartment-type living, etc. having a dog was not the best of ideas. I've not lived where riding horses was really an easy option, so it's one thing I've always felt I missed out on in life.

I do understand how folks prefer one type of pet over another. Personally I don't understand how people could not love horses and ride them. I do understand about dogs as they are more trouble than cats.

Will Hamm hi Will... when I had a feral cat that came to us it also let me pet it, but nothing more. Once Bingo arrived the cat moved next door.

As you know there will be NO cat hugging going on at the Timm household Nina Hollander, Broker unless someone stops by with their cat. Again, nothing against cats, they just are not a good choice with our dog, birds, and fish.

Ray Henson oh, too funny, Ray! I don't own any hats... hate having anything on my head, although I'd make an exception for a tiara! :) Seriously, I'm with you... I also love cats and nothings nicer than hugging a soft, purring kitty.

We had a kitty named, CC, for years. It slept under my arm every night just purring away. There is just no way to replace that, Nina Hollander, Broker.

Ray Henson just something so special about a snuggling, purring kitty!

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker - When my kitties were alive, I never needed a special day to give them hugs. It was every day!

Nina Hollander, Broker - FREE HUGS is a great incentive for people to buy new kitties! And buyers who adopt will receive hugs all the time!

I have no doubt your cats and your dog are never deprived of hugs, water, food, or a good clean house.

Hannah Williams hi Hannah... I suspect many of us cat moms and dads hug our fur babies every day. But it's nice to have a day when we are reminded to give them an extra hug or two.
