At my house, everyday is National Cat Day. 

But officially, today is National Cat Day.

From Wikipedia:

National Cat Day is celebrated in various countries. In some areas it is an awareness day to raise public awareness of cat adoption. 

The National Cat Day website states that the holiday was first celebrated in 2005 "to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of cats that need to be rescued each year and also to encourage cat lovers to celebrate the cat(s) in their life for the unconditional love and companionship they bestow upon us."

I adopted my cat Sierra from the Hawthorne, California animal shelter in 2015.
