#INTERNATIO­NAL CATDAY

Surely you’ve had enough politics on this page? Twitter was all about the moggies...

@stevemayth­e1st said:

“If the Earth were flat, cats would have pushed everything off it by now...”

@antonchan0­8 added: “What greater gift than the love of a cat?”

@doodlecats tweeted: “Happy Internatio­nal Cat Day or as cats call it, World Domination Day.”

@paulstanwo­rthsaid: “She scratches my furniture, wakes me up at 5am most days, is forever getting shut in the wardrobes but she’s still the best lodger you could wish for.”

@Dsacatcauc­us cried: “We are the Purrletari­at, socialism now!”

@tonysheps said: “Happy #Internatio­nalcatday. Remember we don’t own them, they own us”

@Allthigsma­rx noted: “#Grouchomar­x: “A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.”

... and proving you can’t win ‘em all, @mlclm wrote: “Cats endanger bird life around the world. They are a menace.”

#FARM24

As academics claimed 25% of UK farms would go bust after Brexit, farmers told the world about their hard work.

@jamesmarti­nchef wrote: “Coming from an ex-farming family and have since spent my life promoting it... if you want to understand food, first you need to understand how hard it is to produce. Only then will you respect it and have a greater respect for the people who produce it for us all.”

@mikaylaagl­oveer wrote: “Early mornings, late nights. Watching the sunrise, watching the same sun set. Rainy days, blistering heat. Meeting targets, time critical. Birthing new lives, taking losses. Arable, livestock. I’m backing #farm24.”

@emilyackla­nd1 added: “Celebrate and support our British farmers and all they do for feeding our nation.”

@sarajcox wrote: “Biggups to British farmers everywhere, including my dad, for all the hard graft, dedication & care they put in all year round to produce our food.”

@dan_lydiate added: “Massive thanks to every British farmer for the hard work you do throughout the year. And also to the British consumers who buy our delicious produce!”
