What is International Cat Day?
International Cat Day is an annual 8 August holiday, created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare. The purpose of this day is to celebrate and protect cats, as well as to show love and care for our four-legged friends.

Did you know that cats are one of the most farmed animals in the world?
According to the 2020 statistics, there are about 220 million cats that are kept as pets, and about 600 million feral cats live on this planet. Cats are intelligent, versatile, and lovable creatures. They can bring joy, comfort, and health to people. Many studies have shown that petting, hugging, and playing with cats can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve mood.
Benefits of International Cat Day
However, not all cats live in good conditions. Many cats face the risk of disease, starvation, abuse, or neglect. International Cat Day is an opportunity for us to be aware of the hardships cats face, and take action to help them. There are many things we can do to protect cats, such as:
- Join an animal protection organization or campaign, such as the International Fund for Animal Welfare, the World Wildlife Fund, or the Vietnam Association for the Protection of Animals.
- Support shelters or adoptions for feral or abandoned cats. You can find these centers online, or contact cat-loving communities on Facebook or Zalo.
- Take care and raise your cats in the best way. You should take your cat for regular checkups, get vaccinated against diseases, provide clean food and water, and keep your cat clean and safe.
- Respect and love cats like family members. You should play, talk to, and cuddle with your cat often, to create a strong and happy relationship.
Are there any more cat-related holidays?
In addition to International Cat Day, there are many other cat-related holidays in different countries. For example:
World Cat Day on February 17 in Europe

Cat Day on March 1st in Russia

How to play create cat paw prints on Google
To celebrate International Cat Day, Google launched an extremely cute and fun online game: make cat paw prints. This is a game developed and published by Google on their homepage. You can play this cat paw print game on Google for free and don’t need to install any software.
Step 1: Go to Google homepage and search “International Cat Day” > Enter
wish 2: There will now be a cat’s claw button just below the left search bar. Click on that icon.

It will summon the paw of a virtual cat that stretches out across the screen and creates a very interesting footprint.

As you move around the page and click, different cat breeds will create footprints on your screen, which will stay in place until you click the ‘x’ button at the bottom of the screen.

When cats leave footprints, they also make noises – meows in their own unique voices.
