Today is International Cat Day (August 8).

It is believed the occasion was started by the International Fund for Animal Welfare in 2002.

International Cat Day is to raise awareness for our felines and learn about different ways to help and protect them.

To mark the occasion, we asked for your cat pictures, and you did not disappoint.

Here are some of Wiltshire's cutest cats.
