✨ Cat Art Festivals: Love cats AND art? Well, there’s actually quite a few feline focused art festivals happening around the country this fall! Check out events like Caturday LA, a one day art show that celebrates all things cats, or the Cat Video Festival in Minneapolis, where cat lovers can gather to watch hours of hilarious cat videos.

✨ Dog Parks: If your dog loves socializing and meeting new friends, taking them to the dog park is a great way to tire them out (trust us, they’ll sleep good tonight). Fall is a great time to visit the dog park since there aren’t as many people and dogs around, so your pup won’t get overwhelmed.

✨ Cat Cafes: A relatively new phenomenon, cat cafes are popping up all over the country and offer a unique experience for both you and your feline friend. At most cat cafes, you can order coffee and pastries while hanging out with adoptable cats!

✨ Dog Shows: For dog owners who want to show off their furry friend’s talents, there are a number of dog shows happening across the country this fall. From obedience trials to agility competitions, these events are a great way to spend an afternoon and see some amazing dogs in action.
