Celebrity and Society Moms Who Love Their Cats

Even celebrity and society moms recognize that their cats are furry overlords of cuteness.

Moms are often hailed the queens of the house. However, that crown is quickly passed on to their cats the moment they arrive. Even celebrity and society moms are aware of this rule! To celebrate the CATastrophic meowment and holiday that is International Cat Day, here are some celebrity and society moms who love and adore their cats.

Happy International Cat Day!

Being a furparent imparts a lot of lessons but even more so, being a cat mom. Unlike dogs whose moods are a lot more obvious, cats are quite subtle in their expressions. The way they curl up near us, purr on us when they know you’re feeling bad, sit on our keyboards when we’re working — they are the kings and queens of the house and International Cat Day commemorates those memories.
