Hyderabad: August 8th marks a special day for cat lovers around the world as International Cat Day is celebrated. This occasion, created by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) in 2002, aims to raise awareness about cats and promote their conservation. Since 2020, the feline charity International Cat Care (iCatCare) has been the custodian of this day, providing cat owners with veterinary professionals who offer feline medicine, surgery, and the support needed to care for their cats.

Health Benefits of Keeping a Pet Cat

1. Boosted Immune System: Exposure to cats can help boost your immune system, especially in children who build up their immunity over time.

2. Lower Stress Levels: Spending time with a cat can lower stress levels, reduce anxiety, and alleviate symptoms of depression.

3. Improved Sleep Quality: Cats have a calming presence that helps create a soothing sleep environment.

4. Better Mental Health: Interacting with a cat can increase feelings of happiness and contentment.

5. Increased Lifespan: Cat owners have a lower risk of death from heart disease and other causes.

6. Improved Cardiovascular Health: Cat owners have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke, and experience lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Fascinating Facts About Cats

Scientific Name: The domestic cat is scientifically known as “Felis catus” and is the smallest member of the Felidae family.

Lifespan: The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 17 years, with some living into their twenties. The world record holder, Creme Puff, lived for 38 years.

History: Mummified cats have helped scientists trace and study DNA to learn about the history of cats.
