October 29, 2025 is National Cat Day —a perfect excuse to hug your kitty a little closer and celebrate the joy, comfort, and healing power our feline friends bring into our lives. Whether they’re curled up on your lap or chasing shadows across the floor, cats have a special way of making everything feel just a little bit better.
The Calming Power of Cats
Ever feel instantly more relaxed when your cat is nearby? That’s not just a feeling — it’s science. A cat’s purr and how it is at 25-150Hz — a healing frequency. Interacting with animals has been shown to increase oxytocin, the “feel-good” hormone that promotes healing and reduces stress. Just petting your cat can trigger a calming response in your body. And beyond the physical benefits, cats help ease loneliness, reduce anxiety, and encourage social connection.
So today, take a moment to appreciate the quiet strength of your furry companion. They’re doing more for your well-being than you might realize.

Joey’s Ride for Cats
We’ve also teamed up with actor and director, Joey Luthman, by sponsoring “Joey’s Ride for Cats,”. Joey, along with our very own Purrfessor Cat, have embarked on an ambitious one-wheel ride, travelling over 4000 miles across America to raise awareness for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Feline Cancer Research.
On October 1st, Joey began travelling from the Santa Monica Pier in California to the Marshall Point Lighthouse in Maine on a one-wheel, which is a self-balancing electric skateboard with a single wheel in the center. Joey’s 45-day cross-country trip is raising funds for EveryCat Heath Foundation and sharing his love for cats along the way.
