Holidays
World Cat Day
But at the international level this holiday appeared in 2002. World Cat Day is celebrated every year on August 8 at the initiative of the International Animal Welfare Fund, not only to celebrate fluffy home-grown, but to attract attention to the problem of homeless cats. And today the holiday unites millions of owners of these animals around the world.
After all, there are few people on the planet who remain indifferent to these fluffy, affectionate and very intelligent animals.
And there is even the science of cats - felinology (from Latin felinus - cat and Greek logos - science), stressing that cats are very clever and useful.
The domestic cat (Felis catus) is part of the cat family, in which 2 subfamilies, 4 genera and about 36 species are distinguished.
It's no secret that cats have always been and still are the most common pets around the world: about 80% of all inhabitants of the Earth hold a pet, and more than half of them gave their preference to cats, followed by dogs.
In addition to "aesthetic pleasure" (after all, what can be more pleasant than a murring warm friend who is lapping on your lap), cats perform a number of useful functions for a person. They excellently destroy rodents, treat certain diseases and even prolong the life of their master. So, American doctors have found that the owners of cats are 40% less likely to suffer from heart disease, and they have less frequent heart attacks and strokes. And English doctors have developed even a whole "cattherapy", with the help of which offer to treat a number of diseases, in particular - joint inflammations and gynecological diseases.
Often cats become heroes of fairy tales, epics, cartoons, etc. Many peoples in the world have many beliefs and acceptances associated with cats. The most common are that cats live several lives, and can also intuitively determine the intentions of people who come into the house and feel bad guests.
Therefore, it is not surprising that in some countries these animals are in a special state situation:
in Austria, every cat that guarded warehouses with food is paid a lifetime pension in the form of meat and milk,
and in China, cats are protected at the legislative level.
By the way, in Japan there is even a Cat Temple, built in honor of the 7 cats that in the 17th century served the Japanese warriors with faith and truth,
and in Germany - the Cat Museum, which collected many exhibits related to cats and selected around the world.
In the very same holiday - Cat Day - the culprits of the celebration are especially honored and in every way indulged - various delicacies, new houses and toys bought for pets. In a number of countries, even the opening of special parks for walking with cats and cat shops, cafes and hotels, where you can temporarily settle a pet with great comfort, was even timed to this day.
And, of course, you can talk endlessly about these wonderful and graceful animals, near relatives of tigers and leopards.
Therefore, on this holiday, we would like to wish all cats to have their own house, caring owners and delicious food. Well, we, people, should remember that we are responsible for those who have tamed, and thank these unique animals again.
Climbers celebrate their holiday on August 8 - the day when the highest peak of the Alps was conquered. We owe the appearance of the International Day of Mountaineering (or Mountaineering Day) to two brave Swiss citizens - doctor Michel-Gabriel Packard and mountain guide Jacques Balm. On August 8, 1786, they were the first among all climbers to reach the highest point of the Alps - the peack of Mont Blanc, whose height is 4,810 meters above sea level.
And not only the explorers of mountain peaks, but also people involved in industrial mountaineering consider this day to be their holiday. Every year in the world there are more and more tall buildings, and such specialists can wash windows and facades, paint and repair them, remove snow and icicles, install air conditioning and perform other operations on these structures where the use of scaffolding is impossible.
