Donut the Cat is 3…

Like you care.

I know I really don’t.

I work hard to throw the girls awesome birthdays.  But for Donut, I really don’t care that much.  I love my cat, but I don’t love my cat.

But every year, June comes and the girls remember Donut’s birthday and ask for a party.

So we put a hat on him while he slept.

Offered him cream, which he refused.

So the girls drank the cream out of the same bowl as the cat because they can and are very gross.
Photobucket
And then we had cupcakes fit for humans that we ate without the cat.
Photobucket
Perfect.

Do you celebrate your 4 legged family member’s birthdays or are we just strange?

    Okay, dying of laughter at the birthday hat on the sleeping cat. And, the haughty pic of him turning his nose up at the cream? Love it. But the best photo is of Esther staring lovingly at her sister, Eloise. That is a keeper. And, letting them lick the cream out of the bowl? You win Best Mother of the Year award. Hands down.

    We totally celebrated birthdays for our kitty that just passed away because he was the BEST.CAT.EVER. He even wore the party hats without complaint to appease us. Totally good sport. And awesome cat.
    This Friday is our insane cat’s third birthday. I am sure the kid’s will ask to celebrate. I am just not feeling as festive with this particular cat, who is just one huge bundle of crazy.
    I love the pic of Donut turning his nose up at the cream. tee hee.

    So sweet of you! Can’t believe Donut snubbed the cream! But isn’t that part of the reason we love our cats LOL?!

    We don’t celebrate each pets birthday here, because well we have a few too many that were strays, no real birthdates. The girls do make a “doggy cake” for the pug Daisy May. She’s a spoiled pug. =)

    Are you kidding? Claude gets treated like a prince every single day of the year….and he told me he would be happy to drink any of your leftover cream, since I have restricted it from his diet…

    This is hilarious, donut the party hat cat ROFL. No, we don’t celebrate our cat’s birthdays, not because it’s a silly idea, but because we don’t know when they were born….and I’m quickly closing out of today’s blog before my kids see this idea and just designate a birthday for them :)

    What are you kidding? Granted I don’t have any kids…but we have had birthday parties for the dog complete with a special dog cake from the Three Dog Bakery and other dogs over. The dog even gets special meals on her birthday.

    Too funny—-to be honest, we used to celebrate our cat’s birthday, but that was pre-kids—once they came along, Casey has kind of fallen by the wayside (and gotten much more annoying with old age, too, so I don’t feel badly about it! lol) Happy Birthday, Donut!!!!! I love that your girls are always up for a celebration!

    Our cat’s birthday is the same day as our 3rd child’s birthday, so we usually are busy celebrating her, but the kids will say Happy Birthdy to the cat! Our dog’s birthday is in January & we generally just remember it in passing. But if my kids see this post, it is certain that we will have a pet party next year!
