If you’re happy and you know it thank your cat!

For all cat owners, cat lovers, admirers of cats, or feline fanatics – here are four fabulous ways to spoil and celebrate your furry friend on International Cat Day, and make them feel perfectly adored!

Surprise them with some new toys

Cats love to play, and it’s wonderful to see them scuttling about with an intriguing new toy.

Level up your cat’s playground

If you have an indoor cat, you might feel a bit sorry that they can’t run around in the garden, scratch their claws on tree trunks, or lazily sit on branches watching the outside world.

But guess what? You can bring the outdoor scenery indoors by pampering your cat with cat trees, a wall mounted climbing pad, or hideaway boxes … anything to keep your cat entertained.

Plan a cat photoshoot

We know that you love taking photos of your favourite feline, and probably have more cat snaps than you do of your family (don’t worry, we won’t tell!), so why not celebrate your picture-perfect pet with a photoshoot.

Something as simple as a pretty cat collar with a shiny bell makes your kitty the star of the show.

Or get a bit more creative and have themes for your photoshoot with your cat showing off a few costumes.

Treat them like royalty

What would International Cat Day be without tasty treats to make your cat feel like royalty? And delicious, homemade treats always go down the best.

Kitties love catnip, so why not whip up a batch of carrot and catnip bites? Just mix egg, oil, flour, carrots, and catnip, then bake the dough and cut it into your favourite shapes.

Tuna treats are also a hit! Mix tuna with flour, eggs, oil, and mashed bananas (one of the fruits safe for cats). Bake the mixture and cut it into bite-sized triangles.
