The International Cat Day falls on February 17 And he has been celebrated in our country since 2006. This is a great opportunity to not only recall the importance of these animals in our daily lives, but also to encourage them to adopt them. On this day, many shelters also remind of different options for supporting their inhabitants and homeless cats.
International Cat Day 2025. Watch our photo gallery
Although the name suggests an international holiday, in many countries they are celebrated at different dates. For example, in Japan, Cat Day is celebrated on February 22, and in the United States on October 29. However, in Italy, as in Poland, the holiday falls on February 17.
In the gallery you will find photos of our editorial favorites. Some of them were also sent by readers. We also calm down all concerned kittens – Kocur Bryś from the first photo was quickly asked from the oven and nothing happened to him. He only got dirty, and the hearth was of course extinguished.
Cats in our lives. How did it start?
Cat’s Day is a great opportunity to remind you how the joint history of people and these animals began. Originally they gained our sympathy thanks to the protection of food against pests. The nubian cat (Felis Silvestris Lybica) is considered to be the ancestor of the home cat, and not as many people seem to – European Żbik.
However, it is not entirely clear when exactly and who was the first to domesticate the cats. One of the most popular theories says that it happened over 9,000 years ago. To farmers from the Middle East regions, these animals attracted the presence of mice, which in turn appeared through the abundance of grain. Do you want to show off your pet? Send his photo to the address women@agora.pl and we will add it to the gallery.
