National Hug Your Cat Day – so go hug your cat not just today, but every day!
National Hug Your Cat Day
Held annually on June 4!
God has blessed us with animals. He has given us dominion over the animals for many purposes. (Genesis 1:26) So if you have a family cat then take this day to give it some love and a hug. Maybe even a special treat.
We must be thankful for what God gives us, including a family pet. I know I am a cat person and I am so glad God has blessed us with a cat to take care of.
Did you know that having a pet and loving on it can reduce stress and help make you healthier. Also did you know that June is National Pet Adoption Month. If you can have pets where you live. I recommend you adopt and take care of a furever friend and give them their furever home.
Don’t just hug and love your cat on this day but everyday!
I’m glad god blessed us with pets such as the household cat.

As we approach this special day, let’s delve into the history, significance, and some fun ways to celebrate with your beloved kitty.

The Benefits of Cat Hugs
Hugging your cat isn’t just a joyous experience; it’s also beneficial for your health. Studies have shown that cuddling with pets can lower blood pressure, reduce stress levels, and even improve mental health. The act of hugging releases oxytocin in the brain, a hormone associated with happiness and relaxation.

- Extra Cuddle Time: Set aside some time for extra cuddles. Whether it’s a cozy nap together or simply holding your cat close, make sure they feel the love.
- New Toys and Treats: Spoil your cat with new toys or their favorite treats. It’s a great way to engage their senses and show appreciation.
- Photo Session: Capture the moment with a photo session. Share your best hugs on social media to spread the joy.
- Health Check: Use this day as a reminder to schedule a vet visit to ensure your cat’s health and well-being.
- Adopt or Foster: Consider opening your home to a cat in need. Visit your local shelter to adopt or foster, spreading the love beyond your own home.
Conclusion
National Hug Your Cat Day is more than just a quirky holiday; it’s a reminder of the special place cats hold in our hearts. So, on this day, let’s embrace our feline friends and the unconditional love they offer. After all, every day is a good day for a cat hug!
