On National Answer Your Cat's Questions Day, it's time to show your feline companion just how much you care - answer all their questions with love!
Get ready to have some serious feline fun on National Answer Your Cat's Questions Day, which occurs annually on Jan. 22! This day was created in 2019 with the intention of bringing humans and cats closer together by encouraging people to take a few moments out of their day to answer any curious questions that their cats might have. It can be anything from explaining why you're leaving the house or what time dinner will be served - it's sure to make your cat purr!
