Every February 20, International Cat Day is celebrated, a date that seeks to honor one of the most popular companion animals in the world. It also promotes respect and responsible ownership.
The origin of the commemoration is linked to “Socks”, the cat that lived in the White House during the presidency of Bill Clinton in the United States.
After the death of the feline on February 20, 2009, internet users and animal advocates began to remember that date. Over time, the day became a symbol of awareness about animal welfare.
However, the commemoration transcended its anecdotal origin. Today, it represents an opportunity to reflect on abandonment, mistreatment, and the need to ensure adequate living conditions.
