Celebrate Your Cat’s Birthday Like Any Other Member Of Your Family

by Tammy Pillont

Have you ever heard someone say pets are people too? That’s what you’ll hear from people like me. We clean out their dirty cat litter all the time just like any other household chore. People like me are the ones that dress their pet up in outfits. We also let them eat off of dinner plates just like any other person would in our home. To people like us, pets are just like family members. We are just as interested in their health and well being as we are about our real kids. We worry about them and take great pleasure in their individual quirks.

Everyone knows that there are plenty of American women and men who have never had any kids of their own. Some people just aren’t capable of having children for one reason or another. Some people have purposefully chosen to be bachelors or otherwise single. Sometimes single adults find themselves desiring the gratification of mentoring a child. If having a real baby isn’t an option for whatever reason, some of these good people may choose to love a pet as if it were their child.

Can you really blame these good people for wanting that kind of extra special love in their life? Most pets are so lovable that one can easily see how they fill that roll. Some of you probably have friends or relatives who treat their pet like it was another one of their own children. Doing that is just their way of filling that need.

If your cat is going to be just like a regular member of the family, why not have a birthday party for her on her birthday? Just do what you would do for any other child. You can make her a special birthday cake. Put candles in it and help her blow it out. Sing the birthday song to her just like you would a child. Then when you’re finished, go ahead and let her tear open her presents. If it is a kitten, you should wrap some kind of catnip filled toy in loose paper so she will be able to rip it apart like a kid.

Don’t forget to record the special moment so you can post it on the internet. Look at how many other pet lovers have posted mpegs of their cats and dogs online there. There are some really funny ones with dogs on there. If you don’t believe me go look for yourself.

So, just because you don’t have any human children around home, or even if you do, it doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate your dog’s birthday. Pick up some new toys for your little furry friend and enjoy the day just as you would with a regular child.
