8th August every year is International Cat Day.

So why not mark the occasion?

Here are ten absolutely tailspinning ideas to have your cat feline special.

(Yes, we really said that. Sorry!)

Anyway, here we go.

Welcome a cat into your home. It’s the perfect way to celebrate International Cat Day. Give a lucky cat a lifetime of love and improve your well-being while you’re at it. Cats are a lifelong comittment, so we only encourage adoption if you are 100% ready!

Yes! Carefully curated cat photo shoots go down a storm on social media. Don’t forget to tag @joiipetcare with your family snaps.

Why didn’t we all think of this earlier? Cats LOVE classical music, so whack some on the radio and have a mini party with your cat.

Play with the cats up for adoption, clean cages and feed the little monsters. Make a full clowder of new cat buddies.

Every cat deserves a home made din-din from time to time. Spoil your feline by getting your cuisine on. Tuna cookies. Oatmeal and pork crunchies. Or why not try our very own carrot and catnip biskits recipe?

Upgrade kitty safety with some brand spanking location tech. Hardly the most fun gift but super practical for the more serious or gadget-happy cat lover.

We’ve loads to choose from in the Joii pet shop. Great ideas with equally brilliant names like the Kong Catnip Hedgehog, Cat Curlz Teaser or Fat Boy Scratcher.

It’s a thing. Put up shelves especially for your cat to hide, explore and scratch to its heart content. We asked around the Joii team, and if we were cats, we’d want a hangout shelf.

Get rid of excess fur and hairballs. Mmmm, yes please. A little pamper goes a long way on International Cat Day. Strokey strokey little cat.

Make your cat look the part. Scruffy cats will be amazed at your fancy new cat as it tiptoes around the garden in all its new and shiny brilliance. Never again will your cat suffer the shame of a weathered collar. #fancycats
