February 17 – World Cat Day
World Cat Day is celebrated on different dates across the world, with many European countries recognizing February 17 as the official day to honor cats. This special day was first established in 1990 in Italy following a survey conducted by Claudia Angeletti in the Tuttogatto magazine. The selected date reflects the independent nature of cats and the cultural significance they have held throughout history.
February is associated with the Aquarius zodiac sign, known for its freedom-loving and independent characteristics, which closely align with the nature of cats. Additionally, the number 17 is considered unlucky in Italy and has been symbolically linked to the mystical and unpredictable nature of cats.
