Tomorrow is one of my preferred days of the year… national feline Day! This special day was established in 2005 by the animal miracle Network in an effort to highlight the number of cats still waiting to discover a house of their own, to acknowledge what excellent companions cats are, as well as to motivate feline adoption. I am FOR all of those things!

First let me share some sobering statistics. roughly four million cats go into shelters every year, as well as one to two million of those cats are euthanized each year. While the number of healthy animals euthanized in shelters every year continues to go down, I believe you will agree that even one is as well many. now some great news: the number of cats in us households now exceeds the number of dogs! as well as it’s no wonder, since cats make fantastic companions, if I do state so myself.

In situation you  still requirement convincing, just off the top of my head right here are a few of the reasons cats make excellent pets:

We’re great for your health! people with cats have a decreased danger of cardiovascular disease, have lower tension levels, as well as decreased danger for depression.

Interacting with a feline can assist enhance your mood. Cats offer unconditional like as well as companionship, as well as having a warm, purring feline on your lap is practically specific to make you smile.

Cats are simple to care for. No requirement to go out in the dark to take us for a walk; just offer a clean litter box as well as we’ll take care of business. We’re extremely clean as well as for the most part we can deal with our own grooming. While we like costs time with you, we are self-sufficient as well as quickly entertained with easy toys such as an empty box or milk sound (although we’d like a fun interactive toy, too!)

Cats are beautiful, full of character as well as as the stating goes, a feline makes a home a home.

Are you prepared to add a feline good friend to your home? No requirement to look as well far–shelters across the us are full of beautiful, loving cats just waiting on a house of their own. Whether you choose a long- or short-haired cat, a kitten or an adult cat, a sedate lap-cat or a furry athlete you can really discover the feline of your dreams at your regional shelter. even better, think about adopting two cats! many cats do well with one more feline to interact with as well as you’ll delight in viewing their crazy antics as they play together.

This is a photo of my sibling Harley, when he lived at the shelter. I don’t understand why nobody desired him, however Harley had to wait at the shelter to be embraced for 6 long months. even though Harley can in some cases be a pest, many of the time I am glad for his companionship as well as I’m thankful that he was embraced as well as ended up being part of my household (but don’t tell him I stated that!).

So celebrate national feline Day by going to your regional shelter, or going on the internet to PetFinder to discover a fantastic feline of your extremely own. After all, who wouldn’t want a cat?!
