Today, Tuesday 27th October is National Black Cat Day, a day celebrated on the same date every year, recognising the black cats in our lives.

Did you know Black Cat Day was started by Cats Protection in 2011? Fifteen years on, the awareness day has helped black cats spend less time in care, but it’s still longer than their tabby, ginger or tortie counterparts.

Don’t forget the clocks went back in the early hours of this morning!

It means an extra hour in bed, but the evenings drawing in earlier.

Cats are more active at dawn and dusk, and for a few reasons, we recommend keeping them in when it’s dark. This can reduce hunting and the chances of fights with other cats, but also reduce the risk of road traffic accidents at night.

Losing a cat can be devastating and it can sometimes feel like nobody understands what you are going through. In addition to Cats Protections Paws to Listen cat grief support service, we have our Cat Remembrance Community here on Facebook, where people can share their memories and support one another.

“Cat Remembrance Community has provided genuine understanding of the total loss I felt when my gorgeous boy Nero passed away quite unexpectedly. It is a wonderful group, full of uplifting members." - Elaine

Our 2026 CATS report found that 52% of cat owners say their cat gives them something to get up for in the morning. In fact, the top collective reasons that people choose to own a cat are companionship, reducing loneliness and reducing stress.

How does your cat support you?
