Why World Cat Day?

World Cat Day has been celebrated for over 20 years and has an important communication aspect that aims to raise awareness of responsibility towards animals. More and more cat owners see their velvet paws as a permanent member of the family, as the data from ln-online.de show. Over half of the owners even gave their pet gifts, which shows that the bond between humans and cats often comes from the heart.

Cats aren't just popular pets; Studies from Lisbon even show that they prefer classical music under anesthesia, which can significantly reduce their stress levels. Surveys also show that cat owners tend to get less sleep than people without animals because their pets are mostly active at dawn and dusk. Some even have a great affinity for slow blinking - a sign of tender affection that further strengthens the bond between humans and animals rnd.de reported.

In recent years, sales of cat food in Germany have amounted to an impressive 1.8 billion euros. Cats are not only worthy of the hearts of their families, but also an economic power in their own right!
