Make National Take Your Cat to Work Day extra special - treat your furry friend to a day of purrs and cuddles!
It's time to show your furry feline some extra love on National Take Your Cat to Work Day, which falls on the third Monday in June! This day was first created in 2005 as a way to raise awareness about the benefits of having cats as companions. Studies have shown that having a cat around can lower stress levels and increase productivity in the workplace. So why not share this special day with your beloved cat? Whether you're just taking them for a quick visit or bringing them along for the whole day, it's sure to be an entertaining experience that both you and your four-legged friend will enjoy!
Set up a fun photo booth where employees can take pictures with their cats. Decorate it with cat-themed props and backgrounds to make the photos extra special.
Design a fun scavenger hunt for cats and their owners to complete throughout the day. Hide treats, toys, and surprises around the office for cats to find. Prizes can be given out for completing the hunt.
Invite employees to dress up their cats in silly costumes or cute outfits. Stroll them down the catwalk while everyone cheers them on.
Organize a potluck lunch where everyone brings a dish they made with their cat's help. Everyone can share stories of how their cats helped them in the kitchen.
Encourage employees to bring their cats in for the day and take them on a parade around the office. Celebrate all the cats in attendance with treats and prizes.
Taking your cat to work can be a great way to reduce stress and increase comfort levels. Stroking a pet has been known to lower blood pressure, improve morale and even make people more productive. It could mean the difference between motivation and burnout!
Having your furry friend with you at the office can help break the ice with colleagues you don't know very well. Cats are often a source of humor or entertainment, and having one around helps foster relationships that might not have been developed otherwise!
It can be stressful for cats to be alone all day while their owners are at work, so taking them to the office allows them to experience new sights, smells and other cats (if allowed). This is an excellent way for cats to learn how to socialize with animals from other households in a safe, controlled environment.
