While savoring this deep-fried sweet confection, learn about the origins of National Donut Day and how they can be traced to the Salvation Army’s involvement in World War I. Eygptians used to worship cats and to this day, they expect that same energy — cuddle with and learn all about these regal creatures on National Hug Your Cat Day.
