A cat celebration is always better than a regular one, especially on the 4th of July.

If you've ever taken part in a 4th of July celebration, hold these memories in your consciousness for just a moment - and now imagine them with cats. So much better, right? First of all, cats make everything better, this is just a simple truth in life. And secondly, when it comes to celebrating, cats really know how to get the pawrty started. Whether you celebrate with music, fireworks, or a backyard BBQ - a cat will enjoy it just as much as you do. Especially if it's the BBQ option.

Just imagine your cat with the USA flag, waving it like they would a feathered toy, while fireworks dot the skies and reflect in your kitty's round eyes. And imagine your cat coming to your backyard BBQ with some extra materials they've "borrowed" from your neighbor - because there's literally no stopping a foodie feline when there's tasty food around. And the 4th of July food is usually awesome. And what about some music? Just point the laser dot anywhere, and see your cat dance like a maniac on the dance floor.

So, gather round, fellow pawtriotic feline fans, and let's celebrate this like it was intended - with lots of cats. Because, of course we celebrate things with cats around here. In fact, the thing we feel most "patriotic" about is cats - we're glad to live under the rulership of our feline overlords, while being in the home of the free and the brave. Because having a cat is freedom for the soul, and the bravery of loving a creature so much comes with it.

All raise for The Cat-Spangled Banner
Oh say can you see,
By the fridge light so bright,
What so proudly I stared at
While plotting my heist?
Whose sharp claws and loud yowls,
Through the dark, sleepless night,
O'er the couch we watched crumble,
Gave proof through the fright?
And the laser's red glare,
Bouncing bright off the wall,
Gave proof through the night
That the chase would not stall.
Oh say, does that scratch-post
Yet wave o'er my domain,
O'er the land of the treat-fed,
And the home of the vain?
