At my house hug your cat day would be, a lot of superglue and duct tape day.
Last January, one of my sons and three of my grandsons and I went pheasant hunting at the local club. After the hunt, the club owner called me aside and said, "Chip, I've got a problem that maybe you could help me with."
"What is it, Jim?" I asked.
"I got me a cat problem. One of my barn cats has had three litters since last April and this litter has eight kittens in it. Would you mind taking one?"
No problem. We have a couple of feral cats that have adopted us over the years, but one is getting fairly old and spends most of his time in the heated garage in his bed. So I grabbed this little one.
Heck! If I had known what a great cat she would turn out to be, I would've grabbed one of her sisters, too. This little gal is a terror on voles. She's out in the barn or one of the pastures most of the day until she catches a vole or a mouse, then brings it over to the back lawn to show us and brag a little. Then she's off hunting again.
I'm more than happy to give her a big hug today. Of course, Ms. Judy claims the cat as hers, but that's okay with me....just as long as it keeps catching mice and voles.

I'd have to roll myself in catnip to get all 9 to hug me at once.
Fun fact: crazy cat ladies are an actual thing.

I have two, one is insanely smootchy, but about once a year, she attacks me, and the damage she does is amazing. She's on the left. The other one thinks of me solely as someone who feeds him and someone who provides body heat:
I can attest to that. My gf (she of "Charlie of the epic whiskers" and his brother, Izzie) is a Certified Crazy Cat Lady, a characteristic she inherited from her mother, who is 93 and still a CCL. Neighbours' cats would appear at her place and, if they weren't being kept to her mother's standards, she would sometimes volunteer to take them to the vet... on her dime. Neighbous were baffled and sometimes a bit irritated but the cats were happy
Awwwww.... looks like my Mr. Chumbles, who adopted me as a young cat around 2004 and disappeared (sniff) in 2015. Probably my fav. cat. Loved everyone - feline or human- and everyone loved him. I'd post a pic but I'd probably need a Kleenex.15 lbs of huggable [emoji16]

Everyday is hug your cat day here. I have 2 that are getting overdosed on hugs since we had to send their sister over the rainbow bridge 2 days ago. Hard thing to do.

That would have depended upon what mood my wife's old tomcat was in at the moment. If he gave her "that look" as she approached a hug would have been a very bad idea.

I’m sure they’re all very nice little beasties, but they don’t fetch slippers.
Well, as it happens I was just up at my neighbours' place, where their cat just had kittens. They are just mobile, so looking a little confused at the world around them. Their daughter did her best to get them both looking in the same direction, but cats don't take instruction very well.
