Even More Herndon Cat Lovers Celebrate International Cat Day

HERNDON, VA — Stop, stop! No more! We get it. Herndon loves cats.

Last week, Patch put out a call on social media asking for Herndon cat owners to share photos of their favorite felines to celebrate International Cat Day on Sunday.

And boy did they respond.

Patch was so overwhelmed with the number of photos that we received we decided to post two photo galleries, one on Friday and the other on Monday. Below you will find the latest batch of cat photos from Herndon.

One last thing for dog owners — Patch has not forgotten about you. International Dog Day is Thursday, Aug. 26. Keep an eye on Facebook and Neighbor posts for an announcement of when we'll be accepting photos of your canine companions.

This is Beans! Herndon.

Even the Herndon Police Department celebrated International Cat Day on Sunday, by posting the Cats of the Herndon Police Department on Twitter:

The Cats of HPD wish you a Happy InternationalCatDay! Bring a cat into YOUR family by adopting one from @fairfaxanimals.

This is Herbert (goes by Herbie) and he just turned 5 yesterday! I adopted him in 2016 as a tiny kitten and he’s become such a friend and companion! He has a very extraverted personality, so he always hangs out with people his other passion is reading, as you can see in this photo. He has a big cat tree, but he still prefers to sleep on books. — Nina Borysova, Herndon
