Respect Your Cat Day

Respect Your Cat Day - Friday, March 28, 2025

Animal Pet

Did you know today is Respect Your Cat Day? It’s the day to celebrate you and your feline bestie! Your kitty pal has been there when you were happy—your kitty pal has been there when you were sad. Your kitty has, and always will, be there for you. So, this March 28, acknowledge all the hard work your cat puts into being your loyal companion.

Respect Your Cat Day Activities

  1. Spend some quality time with your cat

    Schedule some time with kitty. Go ahead, actually put it in your calendar. Our lives get so busy, but it's definitely worth taking some time to give your kitty some TLC. How else are you going to develop a strong bond with your best friend?

  2. Get your cat a new cat toy

    Sometimes showing your love is as easy as refreshing that catnip mouse or getting a new scratching post to replace the old beat-up one. You know she'll love it when you wave that ribbon wand around.

  3. Learn new ways to make your cat happy

    You knew that kitty likes a good scratch behind the ears, but did you know she also likes to play peekaboo with you behind the curtain? Find fun new games or places your kitty likes to be petted today, even if it takes a bit of experimentation. It's all in service of letting your cat know he or she is loved.

Why We Love Respect Your Cat Day

  1. Cats are intuitive

    Cats are empathetic pets who can sense emotions in their owners. They can feel when you're upset and show their love in many unique ways: following you around the house, being extra affectionate, or cuddling up more than normal.

  2. Cats are great with kids

    Despite some rumors, most cats are fantastic with kids. They let them dress them up, carry them around, and play with them to their heart's content. Cats and small infants are an especially fantastic combination, as they both love to take naps. What better furry napping companion could there be than a warm kitty?

  3. Cats are hilarious

    Cats pretend that they are so poised and highbrow, but they're just as silly as dogs. We think that's hilarious—especially when they make a mistake and pretend like nothing happened. Your cat totally meant to fall off of that chair! Cats are so quirky and funny—you can count on them always adding some humor to your day.
