Every year on 22 January, your cat grants you the power to understand and speak its language, providing you with a once-a-year opportunity to communicate with felines and answer their questions. Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day gives cat-obsessed humans the opportunity to understand cats better. The day encourages feline owners to take up the role of their cat and find answers to the questions their cat has.
This day has been designed for all cat lovers who want to understand their pets more and help their cats to have a better life. This is assured to build a better beyond between you and your cat.
Cats are complex creatures. They can be affectionate and loving one day and completely ignore everything and all the next. A cat’s nature makes them difficult to understand, and that’s why Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day is such an important bonding experience that can help you get what’s going on in your cat’s mind.
How to answer the questions of your cat
You’re won’t actually be talking to your cat. Instead, it’s more an exercise that will help you see things from the eyes of your cat. It’s the equivalent of putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, only you’re replacing the shoe with cat paws.
Pay close attention and try to understand their motives, movements and attitude. Whether it’s the volume of their meowing or their incessant scratching of certain objects, sit down and imagine yourself in your cat’s body.
How to celebrate Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day
Think about what questions your cat could be asking you in different situations. Try and answer them and see how you could improve your cat’s life and make them happier (if that’s even possible!). It’s an exercise that encourages you to learn more about your cat and its behaviour.
Questions to ask your cat
It can be hard to think up some questions, so we’ve put together a shortlist of ones that your cat might ask you.
- Why do you love taking photos of me with that flashing camera every day?
- Why can’t you tell when I’m tired of your petting and cuddling? I want to be left alone!
- Why do you keep bringing different people into the home? It makes me anxious!
- Why don’t you let me outside, even just for a little bit? I’m a garden cat after all!
Another way to celebrate Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day is to make a video with your cat and share it on social media. This can be a great way of connecting with humans that love cats as much as you do!
