So, my boy is having his first birthday and I was wondering like "what to serve?" Has anyone got ideas or links where to check out? It would be nice to bake a "cake" for my boy, but is it possible to bake it for a cat? Or just a stupid idea? Also confectionery ideas are very welcome. What would you serve on your cats birthday? Boy likes almost everything exept wildfowls.

I once made Monty a sardine cake. I squashed them all up and put them in a little mould then put them in the fridge until it firmed. He didnt like it but. I now know that he just doesnt like sardines.

I now give gim a nice big piece of fresh meat to chomp away at and for dinner he gets smoked salmon that i do in little rolls.

Monty has also been given pavolva for his birthday which he ate happily (only the cream off the top however). It was a one off and i dont recommend giving cats confectionary.

I make my cats their birthday cakes out of the tinned mushy food they like. I put it in a mould and then I sprinkle crushed liver treats on top. They love it, and what ever is left the dog gets.

They all love sponge cake, so I buy one cup cake for me, and then I give them all a piece. They love that too. I tend to be "creative" with what I have and feed them normally. Otherwise they just don´t eat it.

Have fun!

The kitties seem to enjoy salmon & tuna mix cakes with the gravy from their canned food on top as an "icing". I like to "decorate" with small bits of crab meat and dots of their vitamin paste (they love it, and it´s good for them).

And as a side dish I´ll give Isis some green beans because she loves them.

Confectionary treats are not good for them so I would not give them anything like that. Beau loves salmon so I ususally go with that. You could give them a fresh piece of cooked salmon, or make salmon patties, or even put their regular food into a mold and then serve it.

Thanks for everyone for ideas! I´ll try something of these and let you guys know did it sucseed.

I also found a recipe for Kitty Kisses: Take one can of your cat´s favourite food, mix with 1 tsp of dried catnip. Blend it until smooth (add an egg yolk if desired), spoon it into a pastry bag or ziplock bag (then cut the tip off) and squeeze little "kisses" onto a baking sheet. Bake at 300F for 10-15 minutes depending on how big the Kisses are (basically you´re drying out the food and cooking the egg if you´ve added one - just don´t burn them). I´d keep these in a sealed container in the fridge myself, if they aren´t throughly dehydrated you don´t want to keep the on the counter in case they go bad.

Thanks MichyD for the recipe sites! I will definitely check these out, and let you know if I make any for Beau. (I can just hear my family..."She cooks for BEAU, but not for herself!!" )

Cake of course

What a great thread. I never would have thought of this. Thanks. great ideas!!

This is awesome info!

Barney has a cupcake, doughnut, or whatever I have handy with one candle on it every birthday, just to get his photo taken with ~ although if it has cream he gets to lick some off ~ his Daddy usually eats the cake and Barney gets to eat his own favourite meal. This year it was roast beef as we were having that ourselves and he loves it, he had his own little dinner of beef, gravy and chopped veggies ~ and he ate the lot!

Well, first and foremost, Hyvää syntymäpäivää Taateli!! Oliver had his first a little more than a month ago, we made a special cake for him. A real cake, as he happens to have a big sweet tooth (like mummy like son lol!), covered with his favourite mascarpone-butter icing. His special dinner was grilled scallops and salmon fillet, we were planning to add prawns too but unfortunately after rummaging through our chest freezer we found out too late we finished with them!! He did enjoy his cake and dinner!

With Ftse birthday I baked him a real cake (in the shape of his paw) he licked the icing and we had the cake. I also bought him biltong and a presie (they always get that) I just spoil them on their b-days with more tummy rubs and eats that I know they like.

For special occasions like birthdays, I give my Smudge a tin of special cat-tuna, not to be confused with regular tuna. It normally has a pic of a cat on the tin when it´s specially formulated for kitties. ^.^
