If you’re like us, you’ll take any excuse to celebrate your cat, so we scoured the Internet for cute ideas for a cat’s birthday party. (Or a cat-themed party for a human, in case your cat isn’t the partying type.) Here are some of our favorites:
How to Throw an Ameowzing Party for Your Cat’s Birthday (or Yours!)
1. BAKE YARN BALL CUPCAKES
What’s a party without sweet treats? Use red licorice rope to decorate your favorite cupcakes like edible yarn balls. (For human consumption only, of course!)
2. CATIFY YOUR GUESTS
Get everyone feeling feline – pick up some headbands and fabric or wire and transform your human guests into cats for the day. For even more fun, give everyone a candy necklace and pretend they’re cat collars!
3. GET THE PARTY JUMPING
Want to hype the party up? A few fishing pole cat toys are sure to keep the crowd bouncing to the beat trying to catch their favorite toy!
4. PLAY SOME PAWSOME BEATS
Set the scene for a good time with a curated playlist full of classic cat themed music, with tunes from music legends like Survivor, Janet Jackson and Queen.
5. MAKE A CAT FOOD CAKE
This easy cat-friendly recipe makes the perfect “birthday cake” for your furry friend—dress it up with heart-shaped pieces of ham to make it extra special.
6. HANG A KITTY CHANDELIER
Decorate the party space with toy mice and embroidery hoops. Bonus: this décor doubles as your cat’s newest obsession when the party’s over.
7. DIP SOME PUSHEEN DONUTS
Your human party guests may not be great at catching mice—so make it easy for them by whipping up some of these adorable kitty cat doughnuts. Don’t forget the rainbow sprinkles!
8. SET THE SCENE
Prep your place for a photo op with alphabet balloons to spell out a fun phrase like “CATS ROCK” and a shiny backdrop on the wall. Set up a tripod and take portraits of everyone with their cats!
9. CAT PARTY FAVOR BAGS
Send your guests home happy with some cat treats and some human treats packaged in paper bags decorated with construction paper cat faces.
Ta-da! A little frosting, a few treats and this party is about to be ameowzing! However you celebrate your furry friend’s big day – just make sure you’re only treating them to foods that are safe for cats to eat.
