Your little fur baby’s birthday is around the corner and you haven’t prepared a party yet? Some pet parents go a long way to display affection to their little purring machines, which, sometimes, show affection towards them too! So, if you want to be extra about your kitty’s birthday, you should throw a party.
If you’ve never done that before, we’ve got you covered! Here are some fabulous ideas for throwing a cat birthday party and creating memories that will last forever.
1. Invite guests, if possible
How would you feel if no one came to your birthday party? If you don’t want to disappoint your cat, you need to plan a guest list for this magical occasion. Does your little fluffy monster have best friends that come on playdates? Invite them to a party!
Friends, family and other kitty guests are welcome. Send invites through text, email or post. To complete the mood, create cat-themed invitations that will lure your guests to come. Some places still have restrictions due to the pandemic, so select your invitees carefully!
2. Choose a suitable gift
Your cat’s birthday isn’t just a regular day. Even though you buy gifts constantly, you need to choose a “meowgnificent” one for this special occasion. What will it be? A can of their favorite food? New scratcher? Or a unique toy?
Whether your cat is cuddly or playful, he/she will certainly appreciate an original interactive cat toy. It will keep your purring one engaged and happy. Buying a gift your kitty will love is a big plus for your bonding time. So, surprise your felines with something they’ll love and use frequently!
3. Decorate the place
This special day is an ideal occasion to bring out your cat-themed decoration without being called weird. From cat ears as an addition to your outfit to adorable photographs and pictures of cats, you'll add a huge decorative value to your home.
To decorate your place suitably for the birthday party, think like a cat! What would your four-legged friend appreciate as a decoration? A lot of strings, toys and mice they can play with! But don’t forget about your human guests either. They’d surely like a glass, instead of a bowl, thank you very much!
4. Pay special attention to the food
Surprising your kitten with food it always wanted to try is a fantastic idea. However, you need to keep in mind the ingredients that are harmful to your little ones. So, if you want to treat your cat and the invitees with something special, opt for the cat tuna or chicken cakes you can DIY! What about the others?
Offer cat-shaped cookies for human guests. If you want to go all the way, make everything on the menu with fish. It’s a nice touch that will surely make every cat lover happy.
5. Organize fun games and activities
No party is fun without games and activities. Unlike throwing a kid’s birthday party, you don’t have to constantly engage your furry guests. A couple of play areas and toys is more than enough to keep them up and about. What else can you do?
Laser chase is one of the favorite activities amongst cats. It’s one of the best activities you can do to make your cat happy. Don’t forget about the empty boxes. Everybody knows that they are favorite places for hanging out. Also, you can include fetch, as some cats enjoy this play more than dogs!
6. Treat your family and friends
To make the gathering pleasant for everybody, don’t forget to treat your human guests as well. Even though they enjoy looking at kitties while they play, cuddle and have fun, they can’t spend the entire time admiring these majestic creatures. So, how can you treat them?
If you want a fabulous atmosphere for your cat’s party, order food hampers for the human guests. After all, it’s a celebration for everybody. Luxury hampers include treats, sweets and drinks. So, share those with your family and friends to create a fantastic mood.
7. Take a lot of photos
This kind of celebration needs to be memories for a long time. That’s why you should take a lot of photos of your cat, guests and other invitees! But how can you shoot nice pictures if the felines are constantly on the move?
If you’d like to pro photos of your love bug, search for tips shooting awesome photos of your cat. Whether they are on the move or peacefully sleeping on their favorite spot, you need to know the perfect timing to click a photo.
Conclusion
As you can see, you can create a perfect cat birthday party for your loved one. Think like a cat to suit your kitten’s needs no matter what. Cat birthday parties can be a magnificent time to bond create a stronger bond with cats and humans!
