Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Today is national Hug Your Cat Day! And what does that mean, exactly? Find the nearest pussy, give it a squeeze, and watch it purr. Well, unless it’s one of those ill-mannered kitties with the temperament of an ear-hungry Mike Tyson (sans the calming pigeons). In these circumstances, do not hug these cats — unless you’re part of the Māori people of New Zealand or you want an easy prison face tattoo c/o of a claw swipe to the cheek and some pen ink.
And to celebrate this momentous occasion, we’ve decided to give you a pussypalooza — short hair, long hair, no hair, and even spotted — all kinds of cats that deserve a hug. Crazy cat ladies, today is your lucky day.
Let’s get this party started….
Cats that are so ugly, they need a hug:
What happens when Garfield doesn’t get his daily serving of lasagna….
Satan’s disguise when he visits earth.
This one got into a scuffle with a Mike Tysonesque kitty….
I willz eatz your souls
Charlie, the Voldemort cat:
Poor Charlie lost both his ears and nose in a nasty battle with skin cancer. He may look like Harry Potter’s nemesis, but even The One Who Shall Not Be Named needs a little affection.
Amazing hug-worthy kitties:
How does he do it?! Years at Juilliard, that’s how!
Spaghetti cat:
The most adorable censor ever
Tessa the Tabby:
We’d give her table manners more of an 11…it’s the least we can give her after that humiliating paw-washing experience.
Cats you should hug STAT or they will TOTALLY FREAK OUT ON YOU:
Can we say Japanese cat torture?
We don’t know whether to be appalled or entertained…or appalled that we’re entertained.
And for the Grand Finale:
