Hug Your Cat Day

A reason to give your fluffy flatmate some extra attention and thank it for the cosiness, the purring and the 3 a.m. sprints down the hallway.

How it is celebrated: owners cuddle, scratch chins, play and hand out the tastiest treats. Hug only cats that are in the mood: tail, ears and posture usually show whether a cat is open to affection.

House cats sleep 12 to 16 hours a day, so yours may well spend the holiday dozing. A cat's purr typically falls somewhere between about 25 and 150 hertz.
