The litter tray

My cats birthday

I'm a bit a soppy cat owner but I want to do something nice for my cats birthday!!! She will be 2 in a week or so. I've had her since she was at 5 weeks so she really is my baby. Well that was until I had my actual baby who is now 13 months :). Anyway my cat is very much 2nd fiddle now and has been through being not allowed in bedroom, to being harassed by my daughter, plus our neighbourhood has a lit of cats so she is always guarding/fighting for her territory. Anyway I think it would be nice to spoil her.

Anyone got any ideas of special foods, toys etc or am I just losing my marbles thinking it would be nice to have a birthday thing?

Oh my goodness I love the catnip cake! I may order one anyway even if it arrives too late.

Oh and OriginalFab I am well aware that 5 weeks is way too young. She was abandoned by the family that had her before as they could not cope with the litter as they were penniless and had a very young baby. They were going to let her and the others go feral. She is the sookiest cat you can ever meet and probably a bit immature which I think is because she didn't have her mum for long. I have tried to be the best non-cat mum though. I even changed my hours to part time/work from home when she was tiny so I could look after her and she didn't have much time on her own. Apart from work I didn't leave the house for 3 months!

My cat is 17 and I also have had her since she was 5 weeks old. For anyone thinking of getting a kitten I think it is too soon to take kitty from mum at that age. Anyway, she has presents at every birthday and Christmas and my MIL makes her toys . This year she had prawns for her tea and had a new bed a few weeks before.
