Grab your phone because if you have a cat (or someone close to you has) it’s their day to show off. And to present graphic evidence to all of them who doubt the goodness of these animals, as Juan del Val. Because yes, today, February 20, is Cat Day. Well, one of them, because cats don’t have one day but three. The first of them is that of August 8, a date marked by International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) in 2002.
The choice of this date has to do with what is the favorite month of cats. Various scientific studies point out that in August they benefit from the rising temperatures and of the large amounts of light of these seasons. Hence it is the month with increased reproduction. But the official entity did not want to focus on this. Their objective was to dedicate this day to call attention to their rights. Something like that also claimed the date of the activist colleen paigewho marked October 29 as a day to encourage cat adoption.
Why is February 20 Cat Day?
Neither an activist nor an international organization, who is behind the election of the February 20th as cat day It is US President Bill Clinton. Well, he doesn’t. His cat socks. The one that, according to efeadopted her daughter in 1993, when Clinton was governor of Arkansas, and who happened to be one of the nicest members of the family.
He came to appear in one of the best-known images of the Clinton errand. He perched on the podium in the White House press room, as if he were the spokesman himself. What’s more, the feline came to appear on the television program the Murphy Brown show and to be drawn by Michael O’Donoghue. It goes without saying that they came to create a video game about him (‘Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill‘).
Over the years the popularity of the feline grew, but in 2009 he passed away. He had been diagnosed with throat cancer. The Clinton family did not want to see him suffer and euthanized him. On February 20, he died, leaving for posterity one of the dates on which cats from all over the world are honored.
