Cats never need an excuse to be at the center of attention. But Global Cat Day, which falls on October 16, gives you a great excuse to pamper your cat a bit more than usual. The day was established to raise awareness about ways to help all cats find good homes, which inspired us revisit some of the cat art we spotted around town before pre-pandemic days.
