Sweet Sixteen

[lavendertook]

I'm sorry to be late, but very happy belated birthday wishes to crantz and ink_gypsy! I hope you had great days.

I wasn't able to throw a kitty party to celebrate Saki's 16th last Thursday until Saturday. But it was a good time, as you can see here:


The birthday paw! You can see Herself surveying her birthday spread. A cupcake and cold cuts all garnished with copious amounts of catnip. For some reason, Saki and Tuxie go wilder over cold cuts than freshly cooked meats, and even Moo, who will touch no fresh meats or cat food except for her One Kibble, partakes of the cold cuts--go figure. So yeah, they had a proper little luncheon party spread.



All 3, chowing down on meats and catnip, and having a good time.


Saki finally nibbling on the icing. She normally wants a bit of cake-type sweets when I have any, so I wanted to give her a chance to have her own cupcake, but she only licked a little--it was no match for the lunch meats and catnip. Tuxie's there on the blankie claudia603 knitted for Saki. We played a game with Saki's new birthday mylar/feather stick and some laser tag.


Tuxie joying down with splayed toesies: "Whoa man, this is a gooood party!"

And that was Saki's sweet 16 party. In cat years, she's well into her 80's, but she still looks and acts like a kitten--she's gained back some weight and is in so much better shape than she was a couple of years ago. We're working on 17 now. :-D

Oh my goodness! that is one of the best cat birthday parties I have seen! Saki is a very lucky much loved kitty.

I'm holding out for her 17th as well!

[hanarobi]

Oh, and I loved the photo of Tuxie with the splayed toes! The caption is perfect for it!

[lavendertook]

Thank you! He's a little nut. (-: They pay it forward, that's for sure, and Ms. Saki is especially good to me, like the way she walks around with her little head up to make eye contact with me all the time--it can't be the most comfortable position.

My crew have read this and are now demanding same!

[lavendertook]

My apologies, but it is fun for all involved, fooder as much as the rest. (-:

[crantz]

Thank you very much! I am both much younger and much older than Saki.

What a cute little cat party!

[lavendertook]

You're welcome. I know--it's a weird thing, the age trading we do with them.

They are very cute cats, so it works out that way. (-;

Happy Birthday to your human friends and to Saki! That does indeed look like a reallly good party.

[lavendertook]

It really was. (-: I love getting them all excited.

What a wonderful party! I love the cupcake-nip and the toesies. Such lucky kitties.

They pay it forward--it's fun to make much of them. (-:

Thanks so much. Looks like your kitties really enjoyed the party, while I spent a very quiet day.

You're welcome. If you could have joined us, there would have been mini-cupcakes from Wegman's for you. (-:

Looks like quite the birthday bash! I love to see kitties enjoying themselves. :)

It's a lot of fun to get them excited and partying--they're such good cats.

She's lovely and it looks like a wonderful party. Your Tuxie certainly seems to have enjoyed it and if the party guests are happy then it's a success. : )
I have a 16-yr-old too. Her name is Spot and she is a Ginger color girl. My son found her while delivering news papers when she was about six months old and she has been with us ever since. She is our matriarch and a very sweet girl.

aw...what a grand party for a grand kitty!! I know the other cats enjoyed it, too! I have no idea when my cats' birthdays are, but I got Helo in January 2010 and Merlin in December 2012! :)
