Respect Your Cat Day

Out of respect for all cats, we will be back with Sparks next week!


Today is an important day - Respect Your Cat Day! This cat day is believed to date back to March 28, 1384, when King Richard II of England officially banned the consumption of cats through the issuance of an official decree. We can't imagine that anyone would EAT us!  Today, humane societies, veterinary clinics, and other animal organizations encourage loving cat owners to appreciate the care they have provided for their pets and seek to show respect for a little more important to their feline friends.

Here are some tips on how to celebrate with your cat

Spend quality time with your cats

Schedule time with the kittens. Go ahead, really put it on your calendar. Our lives get hectic, but it's definitely worth taking some time to give your kitten some TLC. How else can you develop a strong relationship with your best friend?

Buy your cat a new cat toy

Sometimes showing your love is as easy as renewing that catnip or getting a new rake to replace an old one. You know she'll love it when you wave that ribbon around.

Find some different ways to make your cat happy

You know that kittens love to scratch behind their ears, but did you know she also loves to play taboo with you behind the curtain? Find fun new games or places your cat loves to cuddle today, even if it takes a little experimentation. It's all about letting cats know they're loved.

We had a meeting to discuss this and we have another idea. Reesie is our spokescatt.  "Hey Mom how about NOT taking photos of us when we're sleeping or are in otherwise embarrassing positions???????"

Gosh I didn't know it was Respect Your Cat Day but I'm COVERED because I respect Teddy every single day of the year not just on "the" day. My pets are my children after all and I'll always do anything for them. Anyway, I think it's grand that your crew elected Reesie as spokescat and they've made a "demand" for some additional respect to come their way!

Hugs, Pam

Good point, Reesie!
When, however, do cats celebrate 'Respect Your Human Servants' day?!?
Hmmm...????

Cats deserve all the respect! Look how sweet they are and cozy too! We have almost always had at least one if not more cats living and purring with us!

Brian's Home Blog said...

You sweeties are always respected, no doubt about it!

Robin said...

I love the photo! Cats really do deserve our respect. I got Manna and Dexter some of their favorite treats for today. They have been getting lots of cuddles too.
