Lily Meets Her First Balloon<\/p><\/div>\n

Do you know when your cat\u2019s birthday is? Many times, we guess at what it might be. Sophie came to us\u00a0 around the middle of October. The vet thought she was about 10-weeks old, so we set her birth-date on August 2. The vet thought Lily was almost 8-weeks old when we adopted her and that was toward the end of May, so we decided to celebrate her birthday on April 1. And we did celebrate her first birthday with fanfare.<\/p>\n

At the time, we were taking care of our three-year-old granddaughter one day a week. We also had four small children living in the neighborhood, and we invited them all over for cake and ice cream on Lily\u2019s birthday. We even had balloons and party hats.<\/p>\n

I once made a cake for Max-kitty out of canned cat food for one of his birthdays. This was a \"max-bday\"special treat for Max since he grew up on kibbles. But he wasn’t too keen on wearing a party hat and posing for pictures.<\/p>\n

How successful, really, is a kitty-cat birthday party? Here\u2019s one take on that subject. I think you\u2019ll find it rather humorous and true. http:\/\/www.catster.com\/molz\/how-to-throw-a-birthday-party-cat-humor-behavior<\/a><\/p>\n

Would love to see pictures of your cat\u2019s birthday party. I don\u2019t know about you, but for me, once is enough. Lily got one birthday party and for the other six birthdays, I simply give her extra attention and affection and tell her how glad we are to have her and Sophie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
