**Subject: International Cat Day Launches with Global #ThinkCAT Initiative**
This just in from the WMEO Newsroom:
Today is International Cat Day, and the world is celebrating with this year’s official theme — #ThinkCAT — a three‑part mission to help humans everywhere level up their feline care.
WMEO’s esteemed anchors, Banner and Balboa, have issued the following guidance from their respective command centers.
—
C — Cat Friendly
Banner, reporting from atop the newsroom printer (which he has declared a sovereign nation):
“Cat-friendly means predictable routines, quiet zones, and respect for our delicate emotional ecosystems. Also, stop moving chairs without notifying us.”
Balboa, speaking from inside his fortified cardboard bunker:
“Mobile vets count as cat-friendly. They come to *us*, which is correct. Please continue this policy.”
—
A — Annual Check-ups
WMEO Health Desk notes that cats are elite-level illness hiders.
Annual exams are essential — even if the exam requires… additional measures.
Balboa’s official statement:
“I must be medicated to survive my yearly physical. I do not apologize. I am simply built different.”
Banner adds:
“I personally enjoy performing my own check-ups by screaming at birds.”

T — Tips & Advice
Expert-backed guidance helps cats thrive from kittenhood to their senior years.
WMEO’s Science Desk encourages humans to stay informed, stay gentle, and stay stocked with treats.
Balboa’s tip
“Breakfast in bed. Every day. Forever.”
Balboa notes that this practice supports:
- Reduced morning stress
- Improved human compliance
- Optimal biscuit‑making conditions
- A smoother transition from Sleep Mode to Guardian Mode
He further clarifies that breakfast should be delivered directly to the box, bed, blanket fort, or designated soft zone, depending on the day’s emotional landscape.
Banner’s tip:
“If your cat stares at you from across the room, they are either admiring you or plotting. Both are valid.” Banner gooes on to respond to Balboa’s Breakfast tip: by demanding “second breakfast,” citing fairness.
