How to celebrate a cat’s birthday

Cats are not just pets, but family members. So why not celebrate the birthday or anniversary of the appearance of a fluffy beauty in the house?

As noted by the animal welfare society Best Friends, cats, unlike dogs, are not always inclined to communicate and play with other animals, so it is best to invite only people to the holiday, and postpone the meeting of cat girlfriends until later. Once you’ve decided on your invite list (even if your friends aren’t cat lovers, they’ll want to attend your fabulous party), start planning!

Start with the two most important things:

cat paraphernalia

Type “cat party supplies” into the search field and you will see how many interesting accessories, souvenirs and home decorations you can buy for your pet’s birthday. To arouse the admiration of cat lovers, paper plates with the image of cute fluffies are enough. But to achieve greater effect, make not only beautiful invitations, but also decorate the table, hang streamer garlands on the walls and buy holiday caps. Don’t forget to get a special hat for the birthday girl!

You can buy home decorations indicating the age of the hero of the day. Browse your nearest party supply store to pick out some adorable decorations for your sweetheart’s first birthday. After all, she is like a baby to you! The same paraphernalia can be purchased for the next anniversaries, for example, for five and ten years.

cat outfits

If we dress according to a certain dress code for a cocktail party and wedding, then why not do the same for your cat party!

Chances are your guests who also love and own cats will at least have matching T-shirts. And if not, they can be purchased at the nearest store.

Your pet’s birthday party has begun, and there are several ways you can celebrate the occasion with a bang:

1. Eat a cake in the shape of a cat, cooked to order. You can also make cakes or cupcakes with cat faces (don’t forget the whiskers!). Just do not forget that sweets are only for people. Your furry celebrant will benefit from her cat food or treats that do not upset her digestion.
2. Serve treats like cookies, chips, and gravy in cat bowls (new, of course), or cat-shaped sandwiches made with cookie cutters (you can make pizza the same way).
3. Serve “cat” drinks: by pouring water or beer into mugs for a cat party, or by decorating them with your cat’s homemade faces, or by placing a punch bowl with cat-shaped ice cubes on the table, or by putting kitten labels on bottles of wine.
4. Offer guests headbands with cat ears and/or cat masks.
5. Play “tack on the cat’s tail”, quiz, board or card games on a cat theme.
6. Watch a movie about cats, such as The Road Home: The Incredible Journey, Cat from Space, Felix the Cat. The choice of films is large – depending on the age of your guests.
7. Make small souvenirs for guests by putting a few catnip seeds in small canvas bags that your friends can plant at home.

Chances are your furry beauty will be hiding throughout the party, but if she’s outgoing, take her to celebrate by giving her cat food and offering to play homemade cat toys or a romp game like catch a feather. Be sure to put away any gift wrapping, because according to PetMD, ribbons and rubber bands can be harmful to animals if swallowed.

If you are not a fan of noisy parties, like your cat, then you can celebrate in a close family circle. Express your love for the birthday girl by giving her a new toy, scratching post, or playhouse. Treat your cat to your favorite treats or make your own treats for them. The most important thing is to show how much you love her. Scratch her behind the ear, stroke and caress as much as she deserves because she has brought you joy all year.

It doesn’t matter how you decide to spend this wonderful day – the main thing is that it becomes a celebration of love for you and your pet.
