International Cat Day 2020 details released
"The secret to a Happy Cat is understadning eash cat's needs."
Veterinary professionals and specialists will explore 'what makes a happy cat?' 

International Cat Day is just around the corner, and this year the custodianship has been passed to the not-for-profit organisation, International Cat Care (iCatCare).

The day takes place on August 8 and will see charities, veterinary professionals, volunteers and specialists share their knowledge with cat lovers across the globe.

This year's theme is 'Making Happy Cats', and organisers are calling on cat aficionados to get involved with the #HappyCat movement.

Experts will discuss a range of topics on the day, including behaviour, health, mental wellbeing, COVID-19 and unowned cats. The programme also includes a talk by cat behaviour expert Dr Sarah Ellis on ‘Are you and your home cat friendly?' while Sam Taylor, veterinary specialist, will run through how to ‘Be a detective for your cat’s health’.

In a statement, iCatCare said: 'The secret to a Happy Cat is understanding each cat’s needs, both as an individual and a species. While some are ideally suited to living as pets, half the world’s cat population are not and these 300 million unowned cats lead a range of lifestyles, including those who will never accept human contact, no matter how much love and attention we might give them.

'And somewhere between the domestic and the feral is the growing phenomenon of the so-called ‘Inbetweener’ whose needs are currently the least understood.'

Further information about the day, together with the full programme of events, can be found here.
