Happy national hug your cat day! 

In honor of the "purr-fect" day of kitty love everyone is encouraged to hug their cat to say thank you to your pet for always being there for you! 

And don't worry - non-cat owning humans can enjoy this day too. Nowhere in the rules does it say that the cat has to be yours! 

In celebration of the national holiday, check out the slide show above to see adorable cats getting hugs from their humans.
