Cat Birthday Party Ideas Summer Happy Everything

What's a birthday without a great cake for the guest of honor (and his feline friends) to enjoy? You cat would so agree. For your cat, create a simple cake from canned cat food. Turn a can or two of his favorite flavor upside down on a plate (let those fresh juices form a dripping kind of icing). Adorn with an unlit candle for the full birthday effect. Cut into cake-like slices if other cats are present or simply let Kitty dig in and enjoy while the human guests watch.
Or you may opt for something grander, and go for a special cat cake from a gourmet pet store or online supplier. Order well in advance, and discuss the ingredients with the chef. If your cat is not accustomed to eating seafood, you don't want a tuna-flavored cake. Cat-friendly cakes may look just like a regular birthday cake, or could be molded into a cat shape. You can also buy kits with everything but the pan to prepare your very own feline birthday cake.
For human guests, serve a cake adorned with kitty decorations, or one shaped like a cat. Order from a favorite bakery, or make it yourself: Get one of the many cat-shaped pans available, along with food coloring in the right cat colors. Even black-and-gray tabbies or calicos can be rendered in realistic frosting shades.
If you'd prefer cupcakes, embellish them with whimsical cat faces, adding whiskers, ears, eyes and noses from bits of cut-up candy or icing trim available in bakery supply or craft stores. Bake enough for each guest to take home an extra.
Want a cool cat for hot weather? Fill a cat-shaped pan with slightly softened ice cream or sherbet. Place in the freezer, then unmold for the party on a chilled serving platter.
