Aww, I want to do this! We adopted our cats and we don’t know their real birthdays so we celebrate them on the same day.
This is so fun! I know that with kids in the house this had to be an amazing celebration.
That’s such a cute idea! I don’t have a cat, but I have a friend who has three. I have to show this to her.
I do not have a cat but a friend of mine has three and I’m pretty sure she likes to spoil them so I bet she would like this a lot. I will share this post with her.
