National Hug Your Cat Day is every cats favorite day
National Hug Your Cat Day is June 4th and it’s the day to *lovingly* embrace the furry monarch who graciously allows you to stay in their home.
Here are some purrr-fect ways to celebrate Hug Your Cat Day:
1. Snuggle Time:
Take some time to cuddle with your kitty. If your cat enjoys being held, a gentle hug can be a wonderful way to bond. But not all cats enjoy being hugged, try approaching your kitty with the stealth of a ninja. Cats have a sixth sense for detecting human affection attempts. One moment you’re reaching in for a hug, the next, they’re the invisible cat-ninja, appearing three feet away, staring at you like you’ve lost your mind.
2. Treats Galore:
Remember, the way to a cat’s heart is through their stomach. Offer their favorite treats as bribe—er, as tokens of your undying love. You might just earn a few seconds of cuddle time before they’re off plotting world domination again.
3. Play Session:
Engage in an extended playtime session with your cat. Whether they prefer chasing a laser pointer or battling with a feather or you can wrap your cat in a fluffy towel or blanket, aka, “The Purrito.”
Just be prepared for the “Purr with Honor” or the “Release Me, Human” look of disdain. Bonus points for capturing the majestic transformation on video!
4. Catnip Chaos:
Introduce a little catnip into the equation for that extra bit of excitement. Watch as your feline goes from aloof aristocrat to playful goofball. Just try not to laugh too hard when they start bunny-kicking their favorite toy.
5. Photo Shoot:
Attempt a festive photoshoot with your kitty. Take dozens of pics in hopes of getting that *one* perfect shot. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t exist. But hey, you’ll have plenty of hilarious outtakes! Share the adorable pictures on social media with the hashtag #HugYourCatDay and why not #NewdieMag while you’re at it, wink wink, nod nod
Hug Your Cat Day is a reminder of the special bond between humans and their feline friends. So, take a moment to show your appreciation and make your cat’s day a little brighter.
Happy Hug Your Cat Day! May your scratches be few and your giggles aplenty!
