June 4th is National Hug Your Cat Day!

Cat owners, rejoice! June 4th has been dubbed Hug Your Cat Day, a day for us to show a little extra love for our furry feline friends -- not that we really needed the encouragement.

Whether your kitty is a cuddler or not, be sure to give him or her a big squeeze today to let them know you appreciate them. (Disclaimer: we are not responsible for any scratches you may receive as a result of said hugs)

Check out some of our favorite photos of cats getting snuggled:
