Cat World Domination Day (Also My Birthday)

June 24, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat145 Comments

All that work on my catnip plant over the past few months has paid off!

Welcome! Not only is it my tenth birthday, we are also celebrating Cat World Domination Day! Today we get to enjoy the fruits of our labors now that we cats have totally taken over! I have garden-fresh catnip sprig appetizers for everyone!

I have to say, the mixologist outdid himself with this one!

We shall start off with cocktails. My mixologist designed these Niphitos especially for my soirée.

It's my own special recipe!

We are having a formal meal. The first course is clam chowder, New England style, of course.

This dish was especially inspired - my compliments to the chef!

Next up is a warm salmon salad. I am sure it will please your palate.

Fortunately, as cats, we do not have to bother with utensils!

The main course is chicken thighs with mushroom crème sauce. I hope you like the dinnerware — I pulled out my finest crystal and China for this event.

Honestly, if I don't keep an eye on her, Binga will try to hog all of it!

Because dinner was so formal, I though I would plan something fun for dessert — freshly hand-whipped, unsweetened whipped cream, right off the beaters!

I actually did not have to tell these two to gather round - they were already there.

Because, by some strange coincidence, Cat World Domination Day coincides with my birthday, I have some presents to open up!

Opening the gifts is my favorite part!

I hope this isn't too complicated to assemble!

It’s a Cheese Chase toy!

Yes, that includes my roommates. Well, it's not like I can stop them.

Everyone is welcome to give it a try!

Looks cushy!

Let’s see what the other gift is…

It's very plush!

It’s an awesome new cat bed!

I hope you are ready, because the party's just begun!

I will have to give a try later because the real celebration starts now!

There are enough toys for everyone to play with!

I’ve completely emptied my toy box! Everyone’s favorites are here!

Binga wanted to keep some of these, but I told her no.

It is also time for my giveaway! As I mentioned on Friday, I have two prizes for those of you in the U.S. One is this awesome basket of goodies, and the other is a surprise package of swag from the BlogPaws conference — my human is bringing that home today. Each winner also gets to choose a 501(c)3 cat rescue, and my human will donate $25 to them both! All you have to do to enter is comment below and tell me the rescue where you want your donation to go! There are a couple more options if you want a greater chance to win.

(If you can’t see the above widget, click here to go to the post on my home blog to enter.)

Because of the weight, it would be way too expensive to ship these packages internationally, but I do want to have a giveaway for readers in other countries, so if you give me the name of your favorite rescue in your country, my human will give them US $50 in your name! Enter below only if you are an international (non-US) resident:

a Rafflecopter giveaway

(If you can’t see the above widget, click here to go to the post on my home blog to enter.)

Both giveaways will last all week. You can enter until 12:01 AM Eastern Time, July 1. I will announce the winners on Monday, July 2! Good luck everybody and I hope you enjoyed my party!

All is well now though & we even took in two refugee kitties because one of our friends homes did get flooded & she had no where to go to take her babies! We love your blog & thank you for the awesome giveaway! If we win we would like the donation to go to The Little Cats Rescue in New Port Richey, FL.

    Please pardon our tardiness in wishing you a Happy Birthday Sparkle, but our human had some lame excuse about flying from Salt Lake City to Fort Lauderale on your special day and was totally overcome with exhaustion and jet lag. Thank goodness she was able to manage to feed us dinner, or there would have been heck to pay!!

    Anyhow, as always, cats rule and we hope you had a wonderful day!!!
