Caturday: The Digital Holiday for Cat Lovers

The Origins of Caturday

Turns out "Caturday" has been a thing for quite some time. In fact, it even received an entry on Urban Dictionary in 2008, which defines it as "The greatest holiday on the internets."

The 4chan Tradition

As the Urban Dictionary explains, Caturday is a tradition that originated on 4chan, an infamous internet forum. On Saturdays, users would post LOLcats (images of cats with humorous captions) to the site. Over time, Caturday spread to other websites and discussion boards.

International Cat Day

Today, Caturday has become synonymous with International Cat Day, which is celebrated annually on August 8th. It's a day dedicated to appreciating and celebrating our feline companions.
