    National Cat Day 2018

    by Kaylah Stroup October 29, 2018

    If you’ve been on social media today at all, I’m sure you’ve seen that it’s National Cat Day! I can’t think of a more appropriate way to celebrate than to share a few of my favorite recent photos of Professor. This little rascal brings a smile to my face approximately forty thousand times a day. He has such a huge personality jampacked inside that tiny frame. I hope he can brighten your day a little bit as well.

    Two things before I end this post –
    ▴ Professor has his own instagram account which you should absolutely follow!
    ▴ National Cat Day was started in 2005 as a way to bring awareness to the number of homeless cats. Lots of shelters offer discounts or specials today in celebration, might be a good day to finally adopt that fuzzy friend you’ve been thinking about!

    Professor’s bow tie is by Carvas. Can’t recommend them highly enough! He wears his every single day, it’s not just for photos. Since discovering how dang cute he looks in them, I don’t think he’ll ever not wear one again.
