The 8th of August has been designated as "International Cat Day," a time to honor one of man's most common and oldest pets. They have even been regarded as deities and prayed to (we see you, Egypt.) Cats are one of the coolest beings on the planet because they are independent, inquisitive, adventurous, have amazing physiognomy, and have the power to heal themselves on their own — at least the majority of the time.
