My cats, Jon Snow and Milo, turned one the other week and I was really sad I missed it, because I wasn't home from school. I had the idea to throw them an amazing party, but wasn't able to actually do it. So I thought why not inspire someone else to have a nice shindig for their cats.

Here are some tips to throw the purrfect party for the special felines in your life:

Pick a theme...

You can't have an awesome party without an awesome theme to guide you. Some ideas could be a Slum-purr Party, a Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat party, or even a Kit Tea Cat Party (basically a tea party). This isn't just any old party, it's your precious baby kitty's party, so pick a theme people will remember.

Bake a cake...

You can't have a party without cake! But we all know cats can't eat the same cake as us, so here's a cool recipe I found for a cat cake:

Make some decorations...

I'm almost positive the party supply stores don't sell stuff exclusively for cat parties. You'll probably have to get creative when it comes to tiny cat head wear and party games.

Invite some human and some cat friends...

Just because your friends don't have four legs and whiskers doesn't mean there not invited to your cat's party. I say it's a must to invite your friends and there cats over to celebrate as well, but definitely be careful. If you know your cat doesn't do well in new environments with new people, and other cats please leave them at home. No one wants to stress there cat out.

Find a Paw-some playlist...

Here's a playlist I found with cat themed music that'll get your, and your cats grooving!

Encourage cat attire so your feline friends fit in...

Wearing your finest cat apparel as well as strapping on some whiskers and cat ears is a must. It'll be fun and you feel like part of the cat family.

Have an area for your cat to sit like the royalty they are...

Cats vary on the amount of attention they enjoy or require so you should definitely have a safe place for your cat to go when all your friends and cat friends are getting to be a bit much. Just know your cat and make sure that they have space for themselves when needed so they don't lash out on you or get stressed.

Have fun ! Don't take this event too seriously. Your cat will love you more or less whether or not they have ten tuna cakes, a disco ball, or any of the other absurd things you buy them as a cat parent.
