PirateCat , the sleeping mask is cracking me up but sounds like something I would do. Can we please see a pic? And I totally did make a birthday cake for my cat last week!

Ooh, what kind of cake did you make? 

Alright, here is the picture, but it's all your fault if I don't make any friends here.

ETA: And in my defense, I was in between jobs with a lot of time on my hands! 

[bex15]

PirateCat , I love you for this!! I'm laughing so hard, it' adorable and you're very crafty!

ETA: Cat cake, it was tuna, cheese, flour and an egg, it made 2 cakes that were cupcake size, he loved it!

It's my cat's birthday today. She is 11! H is going to the fish market to buy some fish to grill because she wasn't that excited about the sashimi platter we had for her last birthday. H never goes to the fish market but he'll do anything for his cat. He told me that he was going to pick me up from work at 2PM so we can get ready for the party.

Gigglesnort. That makes me think of this:

Oh and I'm glad you reminded me that I have four years to plan. 

[PirateCat]

bex15, that sounds awesome. Maybe I'll make some for my other cat's birthday in November when he turns 10. He'll be so excited!

I just read it might snow here this weekend. Whaaaaa?!?

My UO is brought to you by a community fundraising event that has pissed me off.

The life of a child/human >>>>>>>>> the life of an animal.

The fundraiser has been like March Madness, narrowing down charities that people would rather help out in their community. It's down to adopting kids out of foster care and adopting pets from shelters. Guess which one is winning by a landslide. I'm not saying that both charities (or the others that didn't make it in) aren't important, because they all are. But to me, there should be no competition when it comes to the life of a human vs. the life of a pet. I have a lot of feels on this.

I texted this to H and he said we failed our cat.

He did say for Jebs 15th birthday he wants the other two cats in party hats.

Random: We're thinking of going to Iceland this fall. We were going to do Italy again, but now Iceland is on our minds. Has anyone been (especially in the off season)/have any suggestions?

I believe joy went last year.

ZOMG.  What do you want to know about Iceland, icedtea?  How it's amazing and everyone should go? 

Get emilie in here, too!

PirateCat I'm dying at the mask- that is so cute! And so funny.

Also, every time I see someone tag you I read it too quick and think they are tagging me instead!

I have learned from reading this thread why my cat hates me. She is 13-ish and has never had a party, sleeping mask, or even cake. We celebrate her bday April 15, so I guess I better get on her cake and party attire. Or maybe I just wait for next year when she'll turn 15 so I can pull together the quinceanera dress. I'm pretty sure that will make her love me...

Our cats are twinsies!!! Ahhhh!!!
Except my cat is 5.

[PirateCat]

I would like to clarify that the cat with the sleeping mask is not the birthday girl. Because I'm sure y'all were wishing the wrong cat happy birthday in your minds. It matters to me, okay?

If only you lived a tad closer.

Well now I actually want to go to a cat birthday party.

I have not gotten birthday presents for either of my critters, nor thrown them parties. We have no idea when the cat's birthday is since he was a stray, and my shelter pup's birthday can only be approximated. I am a failure.

But I did teach my cat to sit for treats. And we go for walks in the yard in the afternoons.

It's okay, my cat still hates me. 

You celebrate your cat's birthday on Tax Day?

Gorgeous necklaces W!

That sucks kayladawn91, hope you're able to get something better next year.

I actually thought of a UO recently, and now I've forgotten it.

I apologize if this is mentioned since I haven't read the whole thread, but Iceland Air was running a tourism special where you could have a free layover in Iceland with any flight to Europe I believe. It may still be going on! The layover could be multiple days.

Hahaha yes...and it was on purpose. We estimated she was an April kitten and all my rescues I attach to a holiday. We couldn't think of a good holiday in April so we went with tax day. It fits her somehow.

I think H would think I was crazy if I suggested a cat birthday party.

My cats can high-five for treats. One of them can lay down, the other can stand up. #crazycatladycontest #winner

But our yard isn't good for cat walks. #weareallwinners

We are working on a high ten. He's pretty much down pat.

Plus he spoons. Best cat ever.

I like the holiday rule. All my cats have birthdays on the 7th.

They get used to it, trust me.

He would probably get on board with some nicer food or treats for their birthday or something. Honestly I don't even know the day any of our cats were born.

My cat sleeps under the covers with me on my arm pillow or sometimes sharing my pillow. 

My other cat sits on H's shoulders.

Rant: my dog is a big time herder. He herds my husband and I to no end. I got up to go to the bathroom last night and I didn't see he was between my legs (that's what she said) and I fell and scrapped my knee. I have a huge gash now.
He turns 13 next month and I'm more upset about that. Maybe I need to give him a doggy birthday?

So many parties! Sorry about your knee though.
