Where is Ginger Cat Appreciation Day celebrated?
Ginger Cat Appreciation Day is not just an event that marks the demise of Roy's pet cat, but it also encourages everyone to care for stray felines and provide those little animals with shelter and food. Ginger Appreciation Day is celebrated all over the world.
Every animal lover, especially the ones who love ginger cats, celebrates Ginger Cat Appreciation Day. Even though this event was named after orange cats, it is a special day for all cat lovers.
Ginger Cats Day first started on September 1, 2014. It was the very year in which Chris Roy's orange tabby cat, Doobert, passed away at the age of 17.
The renowned American animal activist and software developer Chirs Roy started Ginger Cats Day to honor the memory of his deceased pet cat Doobert.
In this section, we will narrate the story of how Ginger Cats Day came to exist. The timeline of this story starts with Christopher Columbus's discovery of America in 1492 and ends with the eight anniversary of Ginger Cats Appreciation Day in 2022.
Traditions and customs of this event include learning more about orange tabby cats, helping stray orange tabbies find new homes, and helping the animal rescue organizations in any way possible.
If you have orange tabbies of your own, then you should spend the whole day with them. Play with them and give them a treat. That would be the best way of celebrating this day. In addition, it would be best if you also tried to provide food and shelter to stray cats in your locality. You can also write letters of appreciation to various animal rescue organizations and volunteers and inform them that you value their effort.
You can also watch the famous film series named Garfield. The franchise contains two films: 'Garfield' (2004) and 'Garfield: A Tail Of Two Kitties' (2006)
Finally, this would be the best day to adopt a pair of ginger kittens.
Ginger Cats Appreciation Day was first celebrated in the year 2014.
This is a special day for everyone who loves cats, especially orange cats.
In 2022, the whole world will celebrate the eighth Ginger Cats Appreciation Day.
Ginger Cat Appreciation Day was started by Chris Roy in order to honor the memory of his pet tabby, Doobert. In addition, the event also encourages everyone to care for stray cats and provide them with food and shelter.
Even though both these events focus on giving stray cats a better life, the second one is more concerned about ginger tabbies, a cat breed that features orange fur and beautiful coat patterns. In addition, both these events fall on different dates. National Feral Cat Day is observed on October 16, while Ginger Cats Day is observed on September 1.
This event encourages people to care for stray cats and provide them with shelter and food.
Because this event gives people an excuse to watch the Garfield films once again and spend some time with their orange tabby cats.
Both the events pass a similar message that is, we all should care for stray animals, mainly cats.
