🐱💬 Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day - January 22 - Because your cat clearly has thoughts and they would like answers immediately.
If you’ve ever caught your cat staring at you like you owe them money, congratulations: you’re already celebrating Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day. January 22 is dedicated to the mysterious, judgmental, and deeply inquisitive minds of our feline overlords. Today is all about pretending we understand what they’re asking… and answering anyway. With confidence. And snacks.

🕰️ The History & Origins (or: How This Definitely Started)
No one knows exactly who created Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day, but it absolutely feels like something that began when a cat sat on a keyboard and accidentally scheduled a holiday.
The idea likely sprang from the universal experience of living with a cat who asks questions all day long:
“Why is my bowl only 92% full?”
“Why is that door closed?”
“Why are you sleeping when I am awake?”
Instead of ignoring these questions (as we do every other day), January 22 invites us to lean in, make eye contact, and answer with sincerity—or at least dramatic flair.

A slow blink is basically a cat asking, “Do you love me, or…?”
Cats can recognize their names but often choose not to respond.
Whiskers help them ask spatial questions like, “Will I fit?”
The average cat sleeps 12–16 hours a day, leaving limited time for questioning—but they maximize it.

Your cat believes they are the manager of the house. You are an intern.
