Happy National Cat Day! Our feline friends may have a reputation for their apathetic attitudes and for knocking things off countertops. But, in fact, some cats have been great contributors to society.
Take Felicette, for example, the black-and-white French kitty who, in 1963, became the first cat to travel to space. Felicette was launched atop a rocket and flew 100 miles above Earth. There she briefly experienced weightlessness before safely parachuting back down in her space capsule.
Indeed, that’s what you call a furr-midable feline. But today we celebrate all cats, from the indoors to the out-of-this-worlds.
