If your adopted cat has an unknown birthday, today is the universal birthday for all the adopted cats that do not have a record of their actual birthday. North Shore Animal League, an animal rescue organization, has declared that October 1st to be the birthday for all these shelter cats. The date has been dubbed "CATober the 1st."

So Happy CATober the 1st everyone! Let's bring out some treats and new toys for our beloved furry friends. Even though I know my furry babies' actually birthdays, I feel like it is the date for all the adopted and shelter cats to celebrate.
