You may have celebrated the new year on January 1st, but the next day cats get to celebrate the new year. Well, actually, cats don't celebrate the new year, they celebrate the mew year.
Any cat owner will tell you that cats consider themselves to be far, far better than us. They most certainly feel they deserve all that life has to offer, so why not have a Happy Mew Year Day For Cats Day just for them? Like the human version of New Year's Day, it is on this special day that our feline（猫科的）companions can paw and consider the “mewness” of the brand new season and all of the possibilities it holds. Perhaps this will be the year their people start feeding them tinned food instead of dry? Will the useless dog realize that the cat is king in this house? All these questions and more can be considered by our kitties today while they go about their normal business, looking distant and disinterested.
The truth is that many animal related holidays can also help raise awareness about the millions of unwanted, unloved and abused pets that end up in animal shelters and are eventually put to sleep for lack of funds to keep them alive. So if you haven't got your own perfect feline ruler yet, it's time to take action on January 2. As you're welcoming in the New Year into your life, won't you consider opening your heart and your home to a new four legged friend as well?
Cats can serve many purposes around the home- they are natural, greedy hunters; they're the perfect mix of both fun and silly. Nothing beats the thankfulness of a cat, for sure! You may have all sorts of New Year's resolutions that may or may not work out, but adopting a cat is something you will never regret, and the cat will never forget.
