There are quite a few pet holidays spread throughout the year, and today is time to observe National Answer Your Cat’s Question Day. The holiday began as a chance to heighten awareness when your cat is communicating with you, as most felines do, and figure out what he’s trying to say to you.
When I first posed the question on our Facebook page in 2013, here are a few of the questions I got:
Cat Questions Then
- “Why can’t you always read my mind?”
- A hungry feline asks “where’s my jerky?”
- “When music is playing, why can’t you hold me like a baby through the whole song? Is that too much to ask?”
- “Will you love me, feed me and never leave me?”
- “I’m from Italy, where are you from?”
- And the most asked question from my kitty Marty: “Why are you waiting so long to feed me?”
It seems felines are much more cerebral with their questions these days. Here are some I received today:

When your cat looks at you and speaks in a rather insistent tone, what question is he asking you?
