Did you remember to “fall back”? We know your pets care nothing about that concept 🤣

11/02/2024

On November 3rd, at 2:00 a.m., the clocks will fall back.

You'll get one extra hour in REM heaven and one more hour before you begin the daily grind. Amazing, right?

Your dogs and cats might not feel the same way. You’re furry friends do not understand taking walks, having potty breaks and scarfing their food according to a new schedule. Be patient, we’ll all get into a new routine eventually 🐾❤️🐾

What are some ways that your dog or cat shows you that they love you? Is there anything you would add to this list? 🐾 ❤️ 🐾

Happy National Cat Day! There's never been a better day to celebrate our fabulous felines.

The USA is a nation of cat lovers. Some 47 million American households own cats making them the second most popular pets behind dogs.

Around the world, it’s estimated there are 370 million pet cats, which means about a third of homes have a fluffy feline family member. All of which makes International Cat Day a big deal!

Where’s all of our cat lovers and how many do you have? Post pictures below of your 🐈‍⬛ friends.
