Black Cat Appreciation Day

Feared by myths. Loved by legends. Protected by real ones.

The Glow-Up of the Black Cat

Sleek, silent, and always a little mysterious—black cats have been misunderstood for centuries. But not today. National Black Cat Appreciation Day, celebrated every August 17th, sets the record straight: these feline icons are not bad luck—they’re pure magic. From ancient royalty to modern-day memes, black cats have been symbols of power, independence, and yes, misunderstood beauty.

Historically linked to witchcraft and superstition, black cats were unfairly vilified in Europe during the Middle Ages—causing fear, folklore, and a stigma that still affects adoption rates today. But in Egyptian culture, they were sacred protectors. In Japanese and Celtic traditions, they were symbols of good fortune. Today, this holiday calls on us to celebrate black cats for what they are: loyal companions, spiritual protectors, and walking works of art. For Classy Savage fam, it’s also about protecting what’s rare, powerful, and unfairly judged.

Vibes

Mystery meets majesty. Unbothered elegance with cosmic swagger.

Distilled history. Bottled rebellion. Sip with style.

Spirit of the Savage

Rum isn’t just a drink—it’s a story. National Rum Day, celebrated every August 16th, is a tribute to the smooth, spiced, and sometimes savage spirit that built empires, fueled revolutions, and still keeps the vibes flowing from the Caribbean to your rooftop party. From dark aged blends to sweet white rums, this isn’t just about getting lit—it’s about honoring the legacy of a drink that goes way deeper than the daiquiri.

First distilled in the 1600s in the West Indies, rum became currency, comfort, and controversy—sipped by pirates, traded by colonists, and later refined into today’s artisanal scene. Whether you’re sipping on a tropical cocktail, a handcrafted barrel-aged pour, or even a zero-proof infused mocktail, today is about indulging with flavor and flair. For the Classy Savage crew, it’s about celebrating freedom with every drop. You don’t just drink rum. You feel it.

Vibes

Smooth fire. Historic soul. A toast to freedom in every pour.



How to Celebrate

  • Mix up a classic rum cocktail like a Mojito, Daiquiri, or Dark & Stormy
  • Explore premium aged rums from Jamaica, Barbados, or Martinique
  • Host a rum tasting party with friends (curated flight = classy savage)
  • Try a rum-infused dessert like banana foster or rum cake
  • Visit a rum distillery or virtual tasting tour
  • Post your favorite bottle or cocktail with verified hashtags
  • Learn about the deep ties between rum, rebellion, and resistance
