Embrace the Fluff: Get Ready for National Hug Your Cat Day, June 4th.

There are some bizarre National Days, but one that is definitely worth celebrating is National Hug Your Cat Day, June 4th. Nation Hug Your Cat Day is a special occasion dedicated to celebrating the love and affection between humans and their feline companions. Whether you own a kitty cat yourself or you’ve always wanted to, these beautiful cats prove just how fun the day is.

Celebration Times

National Hug Your Cat Day takes place on June 4 every year, so if you’re a cat owner, join in the celebrations and give your cat the best hugs – but don’t save them all just for one day!

Do Cats Like Hugs?

While some cats like to stay independent, many enjoy hugs too. Some breeds are more friendly and cuddly than others, but each cat is unique, and many ‘aloof’ breeds still love a hug.

Benefits for Cats

Cats that like being hugged enjoy feeling close to their owners when they are picked up, which can help soothe them.

Benefits for Humans

Cuddling a cat is believed to be good for human health – it lifts your mood, reduces stress, and calms you, which can benefit your cardiovascular system and mental health.

Lap Time

Sometimes a hug doesn’t have to be one where you’ve wrapped your arms around a cat – they may just enjoy spending time on your lap.

Hug Your Own Cat

If you’re a cat owner, you’ll want to make sure to give your kitty a hug on June 4, so long as they want one anyway.

Don’t Hug Strange Cats

If you don’t own a cat, don’t go looking for cats in your neighborhood to hug – even if it’s a cat you see regularly, they may not like hugs, so don’t invade their space.

Time to Adopt?

Don’t be too sad if you feel like you’re missing out on National Hug Your Cat Day – maybe it’s a sign that you should adopt your own cat?

Celebrating While Allergic

If you’re allergic to cats, then you can still celebrate. Just spend the day watching cute cat videos on YouTube or scrolling through cute cat pictures instead. It’s like a digital hug for your soul!

Watch Out for Naps

One thing to be careful of – if you let your kitty get too comfy in the hug, they may start to nap. We hope you didn’t have plans that involved moving for the next hour!
