Significance of World Cat Day:
Cats and dogs are the most common pets around the world. One can also look at this day as an opportunity to acknowledge the joy and companionship a cat brings to the lives of its owners.

One of the main objectives of this day is not only to pamper your cat at home but also to take care of stray cats as they too deserve love.
