Okay. I admit it. I am crazy! It’s official.
While most people make plans to celebrate a family member’s birthday with personalized birthday cards, a cake, and maybe a celebration or a party, I have gone above and beyond this. It just so happens that one member of my family is celebrating a Sweet 16 Birthday! This has become something of a major celebration since that show on MTV, My Super Sweet 16. This show exemplifies the excesses that people go to…huge parties, entertainment, and at the end of the show the birthday boy or girl is presented with an overly expensive car or SUV.
Besides the fact that I don’t have that kind of money, the difference with my party is that it’s for Spike – my 16 year old cat. I know, I know, he’s a cat. But hey, he’s almost the same age as my daughter and he was a heck of lot easier to potty train.
My party consists of a tablecloth depicting kitty cats wearing party hats, matching plates, assorted birthday cards, and a cake for Spike and his feline guests. The cake is from a website that makes cakes for cats with natural ingredients and ices them with yogurt. The really cool thing is that you send a picture and they reproduce it by painting your pet on the cake with edible paint. We plan on having cupcakes as well…for the humans. The only thing that is missing, and if anyone can help with locating it, (I’d very much appreciate it) – Spike wants his own Hummer. But I guess he’ll have to settle for a catnip stuffed Chevy!
OMG I would love to throw a birthday party for my cats! That sounds adorable. I never heard of a cake especially made for cats. I’ll have to look that up.
Now that’s a party I’d like an invitation to. Sounds like great fun. But be easy with the catnip though. I can just imagine a room full of happy cats clawing at table cloths, hanging from the drapes with their paws and doing back-flips while a bunch of them run aimlessly around the house chasing whatever they chase while under the influence.
Wow, this is a bit on the crazy side but I have to admit it sounds like fun. I don’t have a cat but it would be cute to throw a birthday party for my dog. What really surprised me was the custom cat cake – you really can find anything out there (especially on the internet) if you look hard enough. Enjoy!
Owning a pet is like a child. So many people love and adore their pets. A cat party sounds like a great idea!
