Hundreds of cats will gather in Boston for first 'Caturday'

Cats will gather together in Boston to nap, lounge and enjoy the outdoors. Cats and their owners will meet at an event called First Caturday at Boston Common Sunday morning. The event was initially planned to be Saturday, but due to the threat of rain, cat lovers had to give up the pun and changed the day.“Caturday is a spontaneous celebration that happens when our cats take us to the park,” First Caturday posted on its Instagram.Around a thousand people will attend this event, with or without cats. Other than socializing and exchanging information in taking care of cats, the gathering is meant to enrich cats' lives by giving them a different environment and activity than just prowling in an apartment or a house.Cats attending the event will be on leash or inside their strollers. The organizer strongly encourages cat owners to leash train their cats before attending the event and make sure that their cats love the outdoors.“Do not bring your cat to First Caturday if they are not sufficiently leash trained or comfortable with the outdoors in a stroller or carrier," the organizer wrote on the Facebook event page.First Caturday will be held from 9 a.m. to noon when the temperature is considered the most comfortable for cats to be outside.
