Caturday Blogging: The Best of World Cat Day 2017

In celebration of this year’s World Cat Day, we’ve collected some of the best stories (and tweets) that commemorate the love between us and our cats.

Yesterday (Feb. 17) was World Cat Day. While International Cat Day is celebrated in August or October, it seems like one day is not enough.

The Brain Eater is by far and away my favorite one.

friend, so everything is new to me. Apparently, I’m not the only one who zooms in on their cat’s face while they’re sleeping just for an up close and personal shot of their wittle nose. Also, it seems like everyone’s cat sleeps in the weird crescent position, belly up and arms outstretched. And all those jokes about opening up the camera roll in someone’s phone only to discover thousands of photos of their cat(s)? I get it now.

Thus, I leave you with this:
