The blog “Best 2025 Pet Calendar Chosen by Cats” has been taken over by my cats, Odin and Otto. Thank you for your understanding.
As renowned cat lifestyle consultants (and lap warmer pros), we felt compelled to share our expertise on one of the most important decisions you’ll make this year: choosing the perfect pet calendar. I feel that there is. While we humans think we are taking a nap in our beloved rays of sunlight, we have actually conducted extensive research on this important topic.
Wall calendar: the pinnacle of sophisticated home decor
Let’s start with the crowning jewel of a well-equipped home: a wall calendar. As any cat knows, these serve multiple purposes.
1. Daily reminders of our majestic beauty
2. A strategic planning tool to create a nap schedule
3. Bird-watching stations are convenient to install near windows.
Travel Cats is particularly noteworthy, featuring majestic cats in various states of rest over a 12-month period. My colleague particularly likes this photo from February of Trabby posing on a sun-warmed rock with a view of the divine ocean.
Now we have to deal with… *ahem*… the dog’s calendar. While we maintain professional objectivity, we find it amusing that these calendars often feature dogs in various undignified and excited states.
However, I understand that some families may need these as comic relief. Just don’t hang it above your cat’s calendar. We have standards to uphold.
By the way, all calendars are from Workman. (Amazon link)
One page a day: Everyday fun
The daily page calendar format offers unique benefits for the discerning pet lover. Every morning brings fresh images worth admiring, but it’s also a kind of mischievous pleasure to watch our humans scramble to catch up after knocking a few pages to the floor in one night. I have to confess.
Our favorite is the 365 calendar. And we highly recommend Cat Trivia for daily fun facts. Silly Fumin will never be as smart as us cats, but you can try.
Speaking of pranks, let’s talk about the bird calendar. *Odin expertly adjusts his beard* As a certified expert in aerial wildlife viewing, I find these particularly… interesting. These serve as excellent hunting practice simulators and also make great birthday gifts for your favorite feline friends. Don’t be surprised if you find tooth marks on Mei’s redfish, hehehe…
Important dates to mark
A good pet calendar should have appropriate notes on upcoming celebrations.
– National Cat Day (October 29) – A suitably grand holiday.
– International Cat Day (August 8th) – Because one day is not enough
– National Pet Day (April 11th) – We kindly share this with lesser animals
– Your cat’s birthday and Gotcha Day – both are worth celebrating separately
– National Furball Awareness Day (last Friday of April) – a solemn occasion
– Answer Cat Questions Day (January 22nd) – Frankly, this should be done every day;
Pro tip: Use special markers in cases like this. My human uses purple, which coincidentally matches my favorite velvet bed.
Calendar management tips
To get the most out of your calendar, we recommend the following:
– Mount a wall calendar at a height where cats can easily see it (ignoring human convenience)
– Protects your one-page-per-day calendar from “accidental” foot swipes
– Add stickers for vet appointments (but we hope you forget these)
– Make a note of your breastfeeding schedule (as if to make yourself forget)
last note
While some may dismiss pet calendars as just a novelty, we cat lovers understand their true value. These are more than just timekeeping devices. A daily reminder of the proper order of family members (cat comes first, of course).
Remember, a house without a cat calendar is like a cardboard box without a cat. Technically it works, but it lacks any real purpose.

When he’s not writing, you can find him conducting important research on the migratory patterns of sunlight, competitive tree climbing, and the acoustic properties of 3 a.m. calls.
