Hug Your Cat Day 2017
Sunday, June 4th is Hug Your Cat Day! Now of course we all know that EVERY day is Hug Your Cat Day, but this is the day we get to officially celebrate it! We are posting about it a couple days early, but we just like getting the party started sooner.
This year we had several submissions from Sophie’s CH kitty friends and some of our blogging friends, which is awesome! Thanks to everyone for sending us your photos. LOTS of love here. Let’s dive in!
Alexandra (Wobbly Kitty) and Pussi
Alexandra has cerebellar hypoplasia like our Sophie girl. She hasn’t let that get in her way though! After living in a shelter for 9 months, Mom Viktoria came along and adopted her. It was last March that Alexandra found her forever home, and she has since learned to walk without falling, run, and jump onto their chair. We love hearing stories like this about wobbly kitties. You go, Alexandra!
Alexandra also shares her home with another kitty, Pussi. Mom Viktoria says that Pussi is Alexandra’s assistant, coach and girlfriend. It sounds like Alexandra and Pussi are a couple of lucky kitties! Oh, and they live in Russia too – pretty cool!
Mitzy
This adorable girl is Mitzy! She is also a fellow wobbly kitty. In this photo, Mitzy is getting a hug from Mom Joanne. We can see the love shining through and are so happy that Mitzy has such a wonderful home.
Gilbert
This handsome fella is Gilbert! He is a CH buddy of Sophie’s. Isn’t he a cutie? We just love this picture of him and his Mom Renee <3
Twitch
This is a very special photo of Twitch and his Mom Tersha. Twitch crossed over the Rainbow Bridge last year unfortunately. He had severe cerebellar hypoplasia. Mom Tersha says that he was an amazing cat and she misses him every day. You can just see the love they shared emanating from this photo. SO sweet <3
Truffle and Brulee
Truffle and Brulee are two beautiful Persian kitties who share their home with Mom Paula. We’ve had the pleasure of meeting Mom Paula in person a few times, and we have to say that we absolutely love her! We hope that one day we get to meet Truffle and Brulee too.
You can see more of these girls over on their blog, Sweet Purrfections.
Joanie & Sammy
Joanie and Sammy are also fellow blogging kitties. Their house is full of love of love and fun! You can see for yourself over on their blog, 15 and Meowing.
The KCC Gang
I must admit that I shower my kitties with love and hugs and kisses every day. They definitely don’t want for attention! One of my favorite photos of us together is one from a few years ago – from our original Hug Your Cat Day post. I have tried to recreate this photo every year since but have been unsuccessful. It’s especially hard to recreate now too since we have more kitties than when this photo was taken 🙂 It’s a fun one though!
Happy Hug Your Cat Day, everyone. We hope you all shower your kitties with extra lovin’ and attention!
I love that Hug Your Cat Day is this Sunday – because I have therapy visits to make that day!
Love your Cat Day – certainly one of our favorite celebrations right??? I’ll remind my Mom although I get more hugs than I really WANT from her now! HAHAHAHA
Hugs, Teddy
Like you are holding a bouquet of kitties!
Sunday, Hug Your Cat Day, is in Adopt-a-Cat month, the month of June, so tomorrow everyone should go out and adopt a cat to hug. (I adopted a new one yesterday, 18-year-old Tyler from the Oregon Humane Society. I think I’ll go hug him now!)
Such beautiful kitty hugs and we send hugs back!
Great photos! Ooops! I must have missed the post where you asked for submissions, oh well!
What cute pics!
That’s so cool that you held a huggy roundup!
Our mom sends your mom EXTRA hugs today. She’s been following on FB and wants her to know she seconds, thirds and fourths Connie’s comments. 🙂
I can’t imagine Kylo putting up with that hug nonsense (as he would call it, I’m sure)! But I’m amazed you got that many kitties to cooperate the first time! I love that picture. LOVE it. Maybe you could try it in two “shifts?”
AWESUM !!!!!!!! 🙂 ♥♥♥♥♥
My kitties aren’t much into hugging. I’ll try to get some pictures for next year though. Maybe one of them will tolerate it for long enough for me to try to get a good picture.
Oh My we have cuddles with Dad but not many photos. He is bashful. Hope to post some on Sunday
The mom didn’t have any pics of her hugging us…but she does hug us a lot. Happy Hug Your Cat Day!
Love your multi-cat hug! That would never happen in my house. 😉 Happy Hug Your Cat Day!

Such great hugging photos! Beautiful ladies with their special sweethearts 🙂 Your group hug is really pawsome! I wouldn’t be able to do that with my boys ’cause I’m sure they will start fighting! 🙂
That amazing multi-cat hug should come with a warning that you’re a professional and we shouldn’t try this at home. 😉
We missed this earlier…too much not kitty stuff going on says petcretary…shucks.
Well we did get hugged today and we will post those for our Selfie Sunday post…later today!
Maybe we will be on time next year to send you some hugged, hugger and huggee pics:)
So many hugs! Mom and dad try, but most times I’m not a huge fan of hugs. They show their love in other ways, though, like letting me pretty much rule the roost. Happy weekend, y’all!!
Fantastic photos! Every day is Hug Your Cat day around here.
Nice to see lots of kitties being hugged. Sorry that Twitch has gone to The Rainbow Bridge. Thank you for including us. XO
Astrid is standing on the computer scrolling through all the comments. She is such a character. We absolutely loved meeting some of Sophie’s wobbly friends. Please forgive us for not sending any photos. Consider yourselves all hugged by all of us. Astrid sends hugs, love and kisses to her husband, Sampy.
