Happy International Cat Day From Charlotte's Pet Friendly Realtor!

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

Nina Hollander, Charlotte's Pet-Friendly Realtor® Wishes All Cat Lovers & Parents A Happy & Paw-some International Cat Day!

 

“Time spent with a cat is never wasted.”

...Colette

 

International Cat Day.... if you're a cat lover (like me), it's a great day to celebrate "all things feline!" The day is also known as World Cat Day. International Cat Day was created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

 

The theme for International Cat Day 2024 is "celebrating cats and feline' lucky to have cats in our lives to bring more joy to our lives.

 

"How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven.”

...Robert S Heilein

 

Cats are one of humanity's oldest and most beloved pets and today are thought to be the most popular pet on the planet. As Terry Pratchett said, "in ancient times cats were worshipped as gods and they have not forgotten this."  It's believed there are more than 200 cat breeds.

 

“Cats choose us; we don’t own them.”

...Kristin Cast

“Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.” 

...James Herriott

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

... Charles Dickens

 

 

12 REASONS TO LOVE CATS

 

“My relationships with my cats has saved me from a deadly, pervasive ignorance.”

...William S Burroughs

 

"A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.”

...Ernest Hemingway

 

"If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much."

... Mark Twain

 

"I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdon of cats is infinitely superior."

... Hippolyte Tain

 

"The purity of a person's heart can be quickly measured by how they regard cats."

...Anonymous

 

"There are two means of refuge from the misery of life--music and cats."

... Albert Schweitzer

 

Here's wishing all my fellow cat loving friends and cat parents and their cats a very happy International Cat Day! (I know, I know...  cats believe that every day is Cat Day!)

It's Cat Day Every Day

Nina, I absolutely  love this, I had no idea.  I have three cats, and I could not possibly  love them any more than I do.  All 3 of them are rescues;  2 right off the street, and one from the local shelter.

Michael Elliott Happy International Cat Day from one cat lover and parent to another! I also love cats. I've been a cat mom since I was 5 years old. I'm so obsessed I have a Christmas tree with hundreds of cat ornaments on it! Here's a picture of my Mr. Marlow, who was a rescue from the Charlotte Humane Society:

Endre Barath, Jr. cats are great! My guy is all worn out because he's like my shadow. Every time I get up, he gets up and follows me. I keep telling him I'll be back in a minute he doesn't care... My Tutti and Frutti used to sleep like that on the back of sofa pillows... now my sofas don't have pillows like that.

Hello Nina - I'm not a bit surprised to see an entire litter of shared feline photos in the comment thread.  After all, cats enjoy twine.   

And while each quote has relevance, the words you chose to include by Kristin Cast is spot on.  And, coincidentally, Cast is soooo close to Cats that it's a whisker away from being serendipitous.

Michael Jacobs hi Michael... I must say, I wish I could have picked a favorite quote... they were all my favorites and spot on about cats and my personal relationship with them.

Nina Hollander, Broker I love cats, too. I have several and a stray cat I have been feeding for four to five years. She showed up at my house with a belly full of kittens. I trapped and got her off to the local shelter. They fixed her but she isn't adoptable. The shelter folks asked if I would take care of her if they released her at my house. It's been years and she is still hanging around. I can never get closer than three feet before she runs off. I do talk with her, and she listens, but don't try to get too close. She doesn't care for that.

Nina Hollander, Broker

Debbie Laity hi Debbie... what a wonderful thing you are doing. I had a cat like that who came to my house early every morning for breakfast. After a long while it would actually take a couple of steps into my foyer. When we got our dog, the cat disappeared from my porch... but she goes to my next door neighbor now.
