Paws, Whiskers, and Purrs: Celebrating International Cat Day with Hempooch

Every year on August 8th, cat lovers around the globe come together to honour the mysterious, majestic, and utterly lovable creatures we call cats. At Hempooch, while our name may bark “dog,” our hearts purr just as loudly for our feline friends — and today, we’re celebrating all things cat.

Why We Love Cats (and You Should Too)

From the tip of their twitchy noses to the end of their flicky tails, cats are creatures of elegance, curiosity, and undeniable charm. They’re independent but affectionate, aloof yet goofy, and they’ve been our companions for thousands of years — from ancient temples to modern living rooms.

Whether your cat is a sun-loving sofa surfer or a night-prowling mischief-maker, there’s no denying their unique place in our homes and hearts.

The Wellness of Whiskers

At Hempooch, we believe every pet deserves to live their best, healthiest life — cats included. That’s why our natural wellness philosophy extends to all creatures, great and small. Many of our hemp-infused products are safe for cats too, offering a gentle, natural option for calming nerves, easing joint stiffness, or simply helping your kitty feel their best.

(Always check with your vet before introducing new supplements — even the natural ones!)

How You Can Celebrate International Cat Day

Here are some purr-fect ideas:

• Treat Your Cat: Give them something special — a new toy, a comfy bed, or a sprinkle of catnip.

• Donate or Foster: Support your local rescue shelter. Many cats are still looking for their forever homes.

• Share the Love: Post a photo of your feline companion and tag us @hempooch_au with #InternationalCatDay so we can celebrate with you!

A Final Meow

Today, we raise a paw to the cats who’ve curled up on our laps, knocked over our mugs, chased imaginary bugs, and left paw prints on our hearts. Happy International Cat Day to all the fabulous felines and the humans who adore them.

From all of us at Hempooch, thank you for loving your pets the natural way — tails, paws, and purrs included.
