April 19 is National Cat Lady Day. The reputation of a cat lady has come a long way since medieval Europe when a woman’s love for cats was a cause for suspicion and even scorn.

If you own a cat, you know that there isn't a day that goes by that you don't celebrate your animal companion! So, embrace your kitties and give your cat some catnip! Michelle Fern talks about things you can do and buy to celebrate the cats in your life on this special day!EPISODE NOTES: It’s National Cat Lady Day!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.
