What is Cat Day in Japan?

Cat Day in Japan, observed on February 22nd, is a day dedicated to celebrating cats.

This linguistic playfulness has made Cat Day popular among cat lovers in Japan. On this day, people often share pictures of their cats on social media, treat their pets to special snacks, and engage in cat-themed events. The celebration highlights Japan’s cultural fondness for cats, which are regarded as symbols of good fortune and companionship.
