Cat Day! Cat Day! Yay! Yay! Yay!

A national cat holiday has been a long time coming for our furry friends. Well this August 15 and every August 15 to follow has been claimed by the cats in the unofficial national observence of "Happy Cat Day". This zaney holiday was created by a cat, Tiger Hample, in his book 'Happy Cat Day' A manifesto for an official Cat Holiday.

The following is excerpted from 'Happy Cat Day' A manifesto for an official Cat Holiday:

Happy cat day Aug 15

I chose August the 15th, for two reasons: (1) it’s in the middle of the disgusting “Dog Days” of summer (2) it’s in a month that isn’t clogged with special holidays. Is this a perfect day for “Cat Day,” or what?

CAT DAY! CAT DAY!
DON’T BE A WUSS!
TAKE TWENTY FOUR HOURS
TO PAMPER YOUR PUSS!

YOU WANNA KEEP A KITTY?
YOU WANNA MAKE ‘EM PURR?
YOU GOTTA HONOUR CATS
WITH A HOLIDAY FOR SURE!

CAT DAY! CAT DAY!
GIVE IT TO ‘EM SOONER!
RUB THEIR BELLIES
AND BREAK OUT THE TUNA

FELINE DIGNITY
GET A LOAD OF THAT
TIME TO CELEBRATE
THE GLORY OF THE CAT!

CAT DAY! CAT DAY!
GIVE IT TO ‘EM NOW!
CAT DAY! CAT DAY!
MEOW! MEOW! MEOW!

CAT DAY! CAT DAY
LOVE YOUR PET
CATS DESERVE
ALL THE STROKES THEY CAN GET!

YOUR CAT IS YOUR FRIEND
NOT JUST A FURRY BEAST
TIME TO TREAT CATS
WITH THEIR OWN SPECIAL FEAST!

Love and Happy Cat Day,
Tiger
