Why Make Your Cat A Birthday Cake?

Some might say it is silly but making your cat a cake for their birthday is a fun way to make them feel special and like a member of the family. If you’re like most cat-parent, your cat is pretty like your child... So why not go above and beyond on their special day to make your kitty feel extra loved? It will be a wonderful opportunity to bond and improve your relationship!

Other Fun Ways to Celebrate:

There are fun things you can do to commemorate your cat's birthday besides baking a handmade cake for them. Here are just a few of the numerous concepts!

1. Pick a Gift
A birthday party isn't complete without a present (or several). Giving your cat at least a tiny gift for their birthday, regardless of if it is a new toy, snacks, a bed to curl up in and take a cat nap or some exciting catnip!

2. Photoshoot
You probably have hundreds of pictures of your cat on your phone but planning a professional photo shoot for your cat's birthday is extra special. A little silly, sure, but it is fun! Hire a photographer or ask a friend who’s amazing at taking photos and who loves cats of course, to create some priceless moments.

3. Give Back
Making a birthday donation in the name of your cat to a nearby cat shelter is a wonderful idea! Put your money to good use and help out other kittens if they don’t have enough toys and snacks.

Celebrating your cat's birthday together is fun. Making a cat birthday cake is just one wonderful way to reward your cat while still keeping their health in mind.

Making Cats Safe Cake Frosting

Although cats can't have sugar in their frosting, it doesn't mean you can't add cat-friendly frosting decatrons to their cake! Many cat parents use mashed potatoes to make a "frosting". Put the mashed potatoes in a piping bag or a sandwich bag and cut one small corner off. Use it to decorate your cake much like genuine icing. You can use a tiny bit of food coloring to make it more festive.
