Today is national Hug Your Cat Day! And what does that mean, exactly? Find the nearest pussy, give it a squeeze, and watch it purr. Well, unless it’s one of those ill-mannered kitties with the temperament of an ear-hungry Mike Tyson (sans the calming pigeons). In these circumstances, do not hug these cats — unless you’re part of the Māori people of New Zealand or you want an easy prison face tattoo c/o of a claw swipe to the cheek and some pen ink.
And to celebrate this momentous occasion, we’ve decided to give you a pussypalooza — short hair, long hair, no hair, and even spotted — all kinds of cats that deserve a hug. Crazy cat ladies, today is your lucky day.

Amazing hug-worthy kitties:
How does he do it?! Years at Juilliard, that’s how!
Spaghetti cat:
The most adorable censor ever
Tessa the Tabby:
We’d give her table manners more of an 11…it’s the least we can give her after that humiliating paw-washing experience.
Cats you should hug STAT or they will TOTALLY FREAK OUT ON YOU:
Can we say Japanese cat torture?
We don’t know whether to be appalled or entertained…or appalled that we’re entertained.
And for the Grand Finale:
