Every year on August 17.

What is National Black Cat Appreciation Day?

National Black Cat Appreciation Day celebrates black cats and pushes back against centuries-old superstitions that unfairly branded them as unlucky. The day highlights how differently black cats are viewed around the world — as symbols of good fortune in Japan and parts of Britain, and simply as loyal companions everywhere else.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
