Today's Celebrations — July 10: National French Fry Day & National Kitten Day

Quick answer: July 10 celebrates National French Fry Day and National Kitten Day, a salty and sweet pairing of comfort food and tiny paws.

One day, one golden fry, one kitten, plenty of reasons to smile.

National French Fry Day

The french fry traces back to 17th century Belgium, where fishermen along the Meuse River fried thin strips of potato when the river froze and fish were scarce. Centuries later it has become one of the most consumed potato preparations in the world, showing up on nearly every menu from fast food counters to fine dining.

Fun fact: the fry's origin is still disputed between two Belgian towns, Liege and Namur, which means an entire country has been arguing about potatoes for over 300 years.

Ways to celebrate:

• Order a side of fries somewhere new instead of your usual spot
• Try making a batch at home, hand cut if you are feeling ambitious
• Rank your favorite dipping sauce and defend it

National Kitten Day

National Kitten Day was founded by animal welfare advocate Colleen Paige to celebrate cats in the first year of their lives and to raise awareness around kitten overpopulation in shelters across the country. It is a playful day with a serious purpose, encouraging adoption and responsible care.

Fun fact: a kitten's eyes are always blue at birth, they do not settle into their true color until around seven weeks old.

Ways to celebrate:

• Visit a local shelter and spend time with the kittens available for adoption
• Donate food or supplies to a shelter near you
• Share a photo of your own cat's kitten days
