August 8 is International Cat Day — a time to celebrate one of humanity’s oldest and most beloved companions. From being worshipped as gods in ancient Egypt (we see you, Bastet) to ruling our homes with quiet confidence, cats have always had a special place in our hearts. And honestly, it’s no wonder — they’re independent, curious, graceful, and even have the power to heal (mostly) on their own. Here’s to the cool, mysterious, and utterly lovable creatures we call cats! 🐾🐱

Check out this handsome boy, Jesse, rocking his purple Crocs! 🐾💜
His mom knows just how serious hot pavement can be and made sure his paws are protected in style when visiting is doctor. She even introduced the Crocs slowly—one paw at a time—so he’d get used to them. What a good boy, Jesse! 👏 ❤️ ❤️

Way to go, Mom, for setting such a great example of summer paw safety! 🔥🐶

☀️🐾 Hot Pavement = Ouchie Paws! 🐶💥
Just a friendly reminder that our four-legged kiddos feel the heat too! Pavement can sizzle in summer and burn those precious paw pads. 😬🔥

👣 If it’s too hot for your feet, it’s too hot for theirs!
💡 Walk early or late, stick to grass, and keep those paws safe!
