Happy National Cat Day!<\/p>\n

In celebration of the cat-loving occasion<\/a>, Taylor Swift<\/a><\/strong> has taken to social media to post a sweet tribute to Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button, her three furry friends. Alongside a black-and-white photo of Swift and her cat Olivia, the 29-year-old star told her fans to hold their cats close today.<\/p>\n

“Hug your cat today. Or don’t, if your cat hates hugs,” T.Swift captioned the cute picture. “But anyway. Happy #NationalCatDay from me, Olivia, Meredith, and Benjamin.”<\/p>\n

Swift, who is set to play Bombalurina in the upcoming live-action<\/a> Cats<\/em> remake, also shared a series of photos and videos of her three cats to her Instagram Story. In one image, Swift shared a throwback photo with her youngest cat, Benjamin.<\/p>\n

“Think about the place where you first met me,” Swift wrote alongside the photo, referencing her “Getaway Car” lyrics.<\/p>\n

Swift and Benjamin first met on the set of her “ME!” music video<\/a>, and it was love at first sight for the Grammy winner, who ended up adopting him.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

T.Swift confirmed the cat in the music video was indeed a new member of her family<\/a> in an Instagram post in April.<\/p>\n

Alongside a selfie with Benjamin, Swift wrote, “And then there were three\u2026”<\/p>\n
