January 14th is a special day around the world for kite fanatics. Known as International Kite Day, the holiday originated in India and is all about launching a kite into the air and enjoying the way it floats and flutters through the sky.
Of course, as cat lovers, our favorite kites feature flying felines floating in the breeze!
So in honor of International Kite Day, here’s a showcase of five of our favorite cat-centric kites on Instagram.
