Happy Cat Month

September is Happy Cat Month!

The month of September celebrates our favorite furry little felines. The CATalyst Council created Happy Cat Month in order to spread awareness about the importance of our pets’ happiness. Throughout the month there are countless events in their name, informing owners of the significance of all cats’ health, welfare and the value of their companionship. Cats typically seem like easy and independent creatures, but they love affection just as much as any other pet. It is important to recognize what they like and what they dislike in order to maintain them happy and create a strong bond with them.

How Happy Cat Month Unites People

All over the world cats are celebrated like family. There are many events that unite people in their love for these furry felines and there are even places where you can go just to hang out around them to increase your own happiness. People love sharing their pets with others, through videos, posts and pictures. They make us happy by just being themselves, and we should make them feel just as well. A warm-hearted post can cheer-up anyone’s day and attending these events can make people feel connected by sharing their love for their pets, what they know, and helpful tips others can use for the well-being of their own.
