Catmas. (n.) A yuletide holiday of and for cats, celebrated on the night of the first full moon in December. Catmas is highly derivative of European yule and American Christmas traditions, and merely adapts these traditions to better suit cats' interests. Thus the celebration begins at sundown and involves cat food treats and cat-specific Catmas presents. The Catmas tradition first developed and spread among a small cadre of cat lovers in Kennebec County, Maine, U.S.A. While the practice of a Catmas celebration is as free-form and mercurial as cats themselves, traditionally a Catmas "cake" of canned tuna fish studded with cat treats is served at Catmas. The celebration of Catmas has spread to New York City and the Washington D.C. area.

Catmas was first celebrated outside the U.S.A. by Americans living abroad in Beijing, China, in December of 2020.
