A cat planted squarely on your favorite chair has already chosen the center of October 29. Follow that cue for National Cat Day and give your feline some extra affection, plus a new scratching post if the old one has been loved into confetti. The official National Cat Day site also points toward cats that need safe homes, so you could donate to a shelter, volunteer, or consider a responsible adoption.

Next, create a little entertainment beyond the window for RSPB Feed the Birds Day. Set up a small outdoor feeding station, then watch to see who drops by. Your cat may appoint themself chief bird inspector, but the view works just as well without a feline supervisor. It is a simple way to bring a bit of wildlife closer.

Send a favorite cat meme to a friend, then follow your curiosity into whatever useful or delightfully odd corner of the web catches your attention.
