International Cat Day is August 8th, and there’s no better way to celebrate than acknowledging some of the beautiful felines in the Hudson County area. Cats are both wonderful and hilarious creatures. One minute, they’re purring and snuggling up against you — the next, they’re doing flips inside a cardboard box. We asked our readers in our Hoboken + Jersey City Insiders Facebook group to submit pictures of their pet cats along with some funny, quirky anecdotes. To celebrate International Cat Day, we’ve compiled these cats + their quirks below. Read on for a list of some local Hoboken + Jersey City cats. 

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted their cats. While we couldn’t include everyone, we enjoyed each and every one of your kitties — and will hang onto the cat photos we didn’t use for future articles.
