The champagne cork has popped, the ball in Times Square has dropped and we’ve all sung a chorus of “Auld Lang Syne”…now it’s time for the real party animals to have some fun! Happy Mew Year Day for Cats is one of the quirkiest cat holidays on a pet lover’s calendar– a day set aside for cats to ring in the New Year!
When is Happy Mew Year For Cats Day?
Happy Mew Year For Cats Day is celebrated every year on January 2. This pet holiday was the brainchild of Wellcat as one of their unique holidays.
Ideas for Celebrating Mew Year
If you want to celebrate the “Mew” Year with your feline friends, here are a few suggestions:
Throw a “purr”ty at your place! Put on a pair of cat ears, dust off your “Cat Daddy” dance moves, hold your fur baby in your arms and get down to the sound of some kitty-themed ditties!
Your playlist can include classics like “What’s New, Pussycat?” by Tom Jones, “Stray Cat Strut” by The Stray Cats and “Memory” from the soundtrack to CATS, as well as songs by artists with a feline-themed name, like Doja Cat and Cat Power.
If Mittens loves watching cinematic hits by your side, transform Movie Night into Mew-vie Night! Does Kitty enjoy classics? Sit back and enjoy Rhubarb, The Incredible Journey, The Three Lives of Thomasina or That Darn Cat.
If Fluffy likes fright flicks, check out Cat People or Cat’s Eye. If animation captures your cat’s imagination, try The Secret Life of Pets, Puss in Boots or The Aristocats, and if your feline friends likes real life stories, watch A Street Cat Named Bob or the documentary Kedi.
Serve up your feline friend’s favorite food, and don’t skimp on the treats!
Resolutions for Pet Parents
Much like New Year’s, Mew Year’s is a good time for pet parents to make a few feline-inspired resolutions, such as:
Pay a visit to a cat cafe: Even though your pal with paws can’t come along, you can celebrate your love of the divine feline, and show your support for a small business, by visiting adorable adoptables at a cat cafe in your area.
Resolve to help our parentless pals who purr by helping your local animal shelter or rescue through the gift of a monetary donation, much-needed daily items, or by becoming a foster pet parent.
You can also help homeless cats across the country simply by sharing their photo on social media, and by spreading the word about such online databases as Adoptapet.com and PetFinder.com.
