National Drink Wine with Your Cat Week
National Drink Wine With Your Cat Week is exactly what it sounds like—an excuse to relax with your favorite furry roommate. You sip your glass of wine, they lap up a cat‑friendly drink made just for them.
Market pet-safe beverage products and wine pairings as a cozy bonding experience for cat owners seeking Instagram-worthy moments with their pets.
- Share before/after photos of cat owners setting up their cozy wine-and-pet lounges
- Create a 'cat-approved drink' taste-test video series featuring different pet-safe brands
- Run a 'Paws & Wine' photo contest encouraging followers to share their relaxation moments with cats
- Promote wine and pet treat bundles as the ultimate self-care gift for cat lovers
National Drink Wine With Your Cat Week began in 2018 with a simple idea: give people and their cats a reason to slow down together.
Offers.com and PetWinery teamed up to launch the week as a playful mix of two separate holidays—National Drink Wine Day and National Love Your Pet Day.
They noticed both dates fell close together, so they created a full week to enjoy both at once.
PetWinery, a company known for pet-safe drinks, introduced wine-style treats made just for cats. These drinks don’t contain alcohol. Instead, they use ingredients like water, catnip, and beet juice.
Cats enjoy the scent, and it lets them “join” their owners in a way that feels fun and special. Meanwhile, Offers.com helped promote wine deals for humans, making the week a shared experience for both.
Over time, the idea caught on. Pet blogs, local news, and social media all helped spread the word. People began snapping photos with their cats and sharing quiet evenings side by side.
What started as a clever promotion turned into a beloved tradition for cat lovers everywhere. Each February, more folks mark their calendars for a reason to relax and toast their favorite companion.
Create a Cozy Spot Together
Turn a corner of your home into a relaxing lounge for two. Lay out a blanket, pour your drink, and set your cat’s treat bowl nearby. Toss in a few soft toys or a warm pillow. Keep the space quiet so both of you can unwind without noise. Let your pet wander in and out freely.
Try a Cat-Safe Drink
Surprise your cat with a pet-safe “wine” made just for them. These bottled treats look fancy but contain no alcohol. Ingredients like water, catnip, and beet juice make it safe and fun. Some cats love it chilled. Serve a small amount first to test their taste.
Snap a Photo Session
Use the moment to capture some sweet shots. Place your glass nearby and wait for your cat to settle in. Don’t force the pose—just let things unfold. Natural lighting works best. Add props like mini pillows or a tiny bowtie if your cat enjoys dressing up.
Watch Something Cat-Friendly
Put on a video made for pets and see how your cat reacts. Many love moving fish, birds, or soft background sounds. Choose something relaxing rather than noisy or fast-paced. Sit together and enjoy the quiet company. You might both drift off before the credits roll.
Wind Down with Gentle Play
If your cat isn’t the lounging type, keep the mood light with a calm game. Try a slow feather wand or rolling toy. Set your wine nearby and laugh at their sneaky moves. This gives them attention without overstimulating. End the day with extra chin scratches and a relaxed vibe.
