International Cat Day is a day to celebrate cats and raise awareness of their welfare. It is celebrated on August 8 every year.

The day was first created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). IFAW is a global non-profit organisation that works to protect animals. They chose August 8 because it is the birthday of the cat goddess Bastet in ancient Egyptian mythology.

International Cat Day is celebrated in a variety of ways around the world. Some people adopt cats from shelters, while others volunteer their time at animal rescue organisations. There are also many events held on International Cat Day, such as cat adoption fairs, cat fashion shows, and cat photo contests.
