About Hug Your Cat Day

When is Hug Your Cat Day? This holiday is always observed on June 4

Today is Hug Your Cat Day. On this June 4 holiday, go ahead and give your cat a big, furry hug.

Cat lovers can really get into this day. If you’re a cat lover, you can really appreciate the warm, cozy feeling you get when you curl up on a couch or chair, and hug your cat. The only problem is, your cat will most likely only allow a brief hug before sauntering away. If your cat is a true hugger, count your blessings.

Dog lovers…sorry, but hugging your dog will not suffice. If you are going to be “into” this day, you simply must hug a cat…your cat.

You don’t have a cat? You can correct this today. The month of June is “Adopt a Cat Month”.
