Have you hugged your cat today? Prosper the cat says it's: National Huggers Day

Hello, me again- Prosper the Cat with another great day happening. 

Oh yeah, it’s National Hugging Day! It’s not really a “national” holiday because I noticed that my human had to go to work today but I found this out by walking on the computer keys today; there’s a lot of places that are celebrating this today. Why not “hug your cat day”? Aw well, I’ll keep looking for that; it will probably be sometime in the future.

Hugs are good to give and receive. I get lots of hugs. I don’t really “hug” back but I am very affectionate! Mostly I purr and rub myself against those who hug me. I found this out about hugs:
Hugs are therapeutic and hugs make you feel good inside. Hugs show that people care about you! Hugs tell you that you are loved!

If you don’t believe that today is “Hugging Day” I did some checking. It seems that years ago someone who was a “hugger” started it. Back in 1986 (you would think that someone who lived in the time of Saber toothed tigers should have come up with this; why was this so recent?) Rev. Kevin Zaborney living in Caro, Michigan woke up one morning and said: “Today will be National Hugging Day” and it has been so every morning on that day forward. (Now if a cat was there that morning maybe it would have been “Hug Your Cat Day”. Sorry, but I really think that this should be a holiday too).

Well, you’ve got some hugging to do and I’ve got some purring to do so I’ll run along.

Happy hugging!

Prosper.
