Caturday Birthday – and Commenthon!

March 19, 2016 By: Summer Samba116 Comments

Guess what today is?

somali cat with birthday cake

That’s right — it’s my birthday! I am two years old today.

cat birthday cake with whipped cream frosting

Check out my birthday cake! It’s a defrosted disc of raw chicken cat food from a local pet food manufacturer, topped with unsweetened, made-from-scratch whipped cream frosting, and sprinkled with crumbled freeze-dried chicken hearts! Can you imagine anything more heavenly?

Of course I shared! My human divided the cake into threes. We couldn’t wait to dive in!

tortoiseshell cat, Somali cat, and Ragdoll cat all eating

Well, except for Boodie. She’s not too good with the diving thing.

My human had to help her get her share once Binga and I had wolfed ours down. Binga was bummed — she was hoping to wolf down Boodie’s too.

Yes, that is whipped cream on her forehead.

So, happy birthday to me! Now for the important part: I am having a commenthon today to benefit Southern California Abyssinian Rescue! This small organization helps Abys who find themselves homeless or in trouble, and they also help Somalis and other kitties too! Just because a cat has a pedigree, it doesn’t mean they all live happily ever after — there are people out there who discard kitties no matter where they got them, or what they paid for them. S.C.A.R. is a really great group, and my human will donate a dollar per comment, up to $75, for every comment received on this post between now and Monday at midnight, Pacific Time! Let’s see if we can hit the maximum!

How wonderful of you to share your scrumptious cake with Binga and Boodie, my kitties were jealous when hearing the description of it. I hope you have had a lovely day filled with love Summer and that you get lots of $ for SCAR!

    Oh! Happy Day!!! Happy Birthday to you!! Your cake looked delicious and you are still beautiful at the ripe old age of 2!! Binga is funny with the whipped cream on her head and Bodie’s just being gracious by letting you too finish before she dives in.

    Concatulations and best wishes, Summer, on your birthday. We didn’t remember that your special day is the one after Giulietta’s and Fiona’s. Those two years have flown by. That definitely was a tasty treat your mom made for you. Binga is just like Astrid. She always has food on her head. Must be a tortie thing. We hope everything about your day is purrfection! Good luck with the commentathon. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
