First Caturday at Boston Common

Friends of Caturday 🐱🐱🐱

First Caturday is a day to reclaim the glory of the outdoors for our feline friends! 🐾 🐱🌲

It is a day for delightful outdoor cat-napping and socializing. 👯😺

It is where we can freely exchange information, friendship, and joy to help make our cats happy and healthy. 📚❤️😽

Some cats actually like leash walks, others stroller walks, and still others just to come to the park in their pet carriers to listen to the birds singing 🙀🚁🐤. It's completely fine if a cat decides, nope, no park for me, please☝🏼👍🏻. Totally fine if a cat doesn't like First Caturday and wants to go straight home 🙅😿🏡. Or it's completely fine if a cat decides to stay inside the pet-carrier and not come out on the leash 🐱🛶🚙.

But if you try bringing your cat in one of these safe and supervised ways, you may find that your cat likes fresh air and the change of scenery 🙌🏼🌤🌏. This is one more option to enrich your cat's life 🍕. If you have a shy kitty, you can skip the big group 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, and just try sitting in your backyard 🏡 with your cat in the carrier. 

With or without a cat, you're welcome at #firstcaturday. 🐾🦁🍃

🌞 😹 Remember that cats cannot sweat to cool themselves down, if they are starting to overheat their huffing will be a sure sign that it's time to find some shade, water or some time in the AC. Kitties usually like licking condensation off water bottles for a little hydration. If it’s too hot for your cat, stay home and come again at the next First Caturday! ❄️🏔️

🐾🌿😸 Please be aware that this is an unofficial social gathering, organized only by cats. Participate responsibly and caringly for your pet, your humans, and the environment! 🐯🌵🐾
