7 reasons to hug your cat today

We know cat lovers don’t need reasons to give Fluffy some love, but since June 4 is “Hug Your Cat Day,” we put together some of our favorite reasons to give them a squeeze.

1. Because that outfit would look great with cat fur

2. Because he's giving you those eyes again

3. Because it's been 15 minutes since the last hug

4. Because you know she loves you, too

5. Because you're brave, and you're not afraid of a little scratch

6. Because she's so much softer than your pet iguana

7. Because you know you're lucky to have each other

If you don't have your own cat to hug? Go adopt one!
