While not exactly a pet health question, it's a fun one for a cloudy day.
Question:
I am planning on throwing a first birthday party for my kittens...they will be ONE on June 13..have any suggestions? I have two kittens...one is black/white female and the other is orange/white male. They are brother, sister. I still own the mother too, so I want to incorporate her into it as well...as a celebration for giving us the babies? :-)
As you can tell..i am a HUGE cat lover. Please let me know what's best for a kitty kats first birthday presents, treats, whatever! Thanks, Elaine
Answer:
I'm definitely going to have to rely on my readers to help out here. But in general (and in my opinion), it's hard to invite other kitty guests to a kitty party because cats are so territorial and there probably would be a lot of hissing and hiding under furniture for all involved - not fun party activities at all (unless you are the family dog LOL)
I suggest having a few human friends over to share the celebrations. And of course, there's a lot you can do to play on the cat theme:
- decorate with cat pictures, cat toys, and cat party goods. You can buy cat party goods online. You've got lots of time to browse but I just found a good selection at Birthday Express
- for the human guests, make cupcakes or cookies decorated to look like cats using small candies as eyes and mouth, shoestring licorice as whiskers, and cookies as ears. And then there's always a great cat-shaped cake if you are feeling adventurous
- for the guests of honor, you could make a cake just for them or splurge on some de-lish treats from Waggintails.
- play "find the mouse" - rub some toy mice with cat nip and hide them around the room. Place cats in room. Watch with amusement. Enjoyment all round!
I'm no Martha Stewart - what else would you suggest?
