2008-yildagi "Ft. Lauderdale" mushuklar ko'rgazmasidan
**Cat culture (mushuk madaniyati)** mushukni yaxshi ko'radigan odamlarni o'z ichiga olgan madaniyatni tasvirlaydi. **Cat fancy** - bu mushuklarni qadrlash, boqish va ularga ko'maklashishni qamrab oladigan xobbi(qiziqarli mashg'ulot). Ba'zi holatlarda odamlar mushuklarga haddan ortiq mukkasidan ketishlari mumkin. Hattoki, ba'zilar o'zlarini "mushuk odamlar" deb atashadi.

Mushuk madaniyatining asosiy ahamiyati - bu uning tashqi ko'rinishi hisoblanadi, chunki uning kiyimi mushukni yaxshi ko'radigan odam ekanligini ko'rsatib turadi. Qiziqarli ravishda, ba'zi madaniyat vakillarida o'z tillari bor. Misol uchun, "Cut puns"lar ishlatadigan tilda *meowvalous*, ya'ni *ga'yritabiiy*, "*Catday* "- *Shanba* va "*pawsome*" - *ajoyib* degan ma'noni anglatadi. "Purrfect" kabi mushuk atamalari maqolalar sarlavhalarida ishlatilgan, masalan, **CBS Sacramento**ning Kremniy vodiysi studiyasida yolg'iz yashayotgan ikki mushuk haqidagi maqolasida: "*Purrfect Tenants: 2 Cats Live Alone In A Silicon Valley Studio For $1,500/Mo.*" Ushbu madaniyat internetda keng tarqaldi va hozirda juda ko'pchilikni e'tiborini tortmoqda. *Psychology Today* nashrining 2013-yildagi maqolasiga ko'ra, o'zini mushuk deb topgan odamlar o'zini it deb hisoblaydiganlarga qaraganda ko'proq g'ayrioddiy va o'ziga xos xususiyatlarga ega. Maqolada, shuningdek, mushuklarning tabiati va ularning sezgirligi tufayli, xuddi shunday tabiatga ega bo'lgan ba'zi odamlar mushuklarga yaqin yoki o'xshash bo'lishlari mumkinligi taxmin qilinadi: Shuning uchun mushuk odamlar it odamlarga qaraganda sezgirroq bo'ladi. 

Mushuklar Marokashda odamlarning kundalik hayotining bir qismi bo'lib, ular hamma joyda uchraydi. *Morocco World News* nashrining maqolasini aytishiga qaraganda, u yerga tashrif buyurgan odamlar Marokashda bir odamga bitta mushuk to'g'ri keladi deb o'ylashlari mumkin. Ko'pchilik marokashliklar mushuklarni yaxshi ko'rishadi va shahar atrofida mushuklar uchun ovqat va suv qoldirib ketishadi. Tim Delmastroning Yaponiyadagi mushuk madaniyati haqidagi filmi Britaniyalik YouTube blogeri Chris Brodning kanalida ko'rsatilgan. Bloger butun mamlakat bo'ylab aylanadi va u yerda mushuklarga qaratilgan ko'plab g'alati va qiziqarli tadbirlarni, jumladan, mushuk barlari, mushuklar ibodatxonalari, mushuk orollari va mushuk kafelarini suratga oladi.

Bugungi kunda butun dunyo bo'ylab mushuk festivallari o'tkazilib turiladi. Mushuklarni yaxshi ko'radigan odamlar, mushuklar kafelari va mushuklar muzeyi Singapurda ham ko'p uchraydi. Californiyaning Pasadena shahrida 2018-yilda birinchi mushuk festivali o‘tkazildi va festival *CatCon Worldwide* deb nomlandi. Ayni shu yilda Texasning Austin shahrida POP mushuklari majlisi bo'lib o'tadi. Mushukni yaxshi ko'radigan odamlar uchun bir qancha veb-saytlar mavjud, ularga xususan, *The Catnip Times* , *Vanggy*  va *The Purrington Post* kabilar kiradi. 

Alice Robbning "'Mysterious power over humanity': How cats affect health (Insoniyat ustidan sirli hokimiyat: Mushuklar sog'likka qanday ta'sir qiladi) deb nomlangan maqolasiga ko'ra, hozirda juda ko'p odamlarni birlashtirgan onlayn mushuk jamiyatlari mavjud. Mushuklarni yaxshi ko'ruvchi odamlar o'zlariga o'xshagan odamlar bilan ma'lum kemalarda mushuk kechalar o'tkazishlari mumkin. Bundan tashqari ,*Monopoliya* stol o'yinidan andoza olgab ***Cat-Opoly*** deb nomlangan o'yin ham mavjud. Ushbu o'yinda mushukni sevuvchilar biror mulkni emas, mushuklarni sotib olishlari mumkin.
