Всемирный день кошек!

International Cat Day (Всемирный день кошек) is an "unofficial" holiday celebrated most commonly on August 8th and has been a tribute to cats everywhere for over a decade. While some celebrate their feline companions in August, Russians prefer to celebrate March 1st. Luckily! For those who weren't on campus early enough to attend the numerous festivities I'm sure the SPREES center put on, the United States celebrates on October 29th! The day is fully supported by the ASPCA and is often revered as a great opportunity to encourage awareness of pets without homes as well as adoption of animals in general.
