It is official. Today is National Cat Day. So what does that mean? It means that you will not only see tons of cat cuteness on your FB, Twitter, and Instagram feeds, it is the day cat lovers have an excuse to go crazy and buy everything and anything cat. But seriously, one of the main purposes of National Cat Day being so close to Halloween is to prevent cat cruelty and promote cat adoption and wellness.
