Happy Cat World Domination Day (also my eleventh birthday) and welcome to my celebration! A couple of humans noted that cats dominate the world all year round, not just on one day — and they are right! But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a day that acknowledges our rule! Does Mother’s Day mean there are no mothers the rest of the year? There you go! So with that taken care of, let the festivities begin!
We are serving iced nip tea! But I have to warn you to be careful about how much you drink — they pack a punch!
Also, you will want to enjoy the appetizer: albacore tuna salad on a bed of fresh nip leaves, right from my garden!
Dig in!
Before the main course, feel free to work up your appetite in my box jungle! It will be here all day, so come and go as you please!
I think you will love my fun, casual main course. It is pulled chicken on biscuits! So tasty.
I know some of you kitties don’t much like “people” type food, so I also have a selection of rare, gourmet cat food — flavors like pheasant, buffalo, and black forest rabbit!
Cake for my birthday is coming up, but first let’s have my two awesome giveaways!
First up, for my U.S. readers is this Kitty a Go-Go fancy litter box! My human actually won it at the Cat Writers Conference last year and she was going to donate it and never did… so I asked if I could give it away on my blog!
It is really very cute, and designed to be easily cleaned so your humans don’t hurt your ears with their complaints! If you want to know more about these litter boxes you can go to the Kitty a Go-Go website, but right now, here is where you can enter:
Because shipping on the Kitty a Go-Go is so hugely expensive, it is open to our U.S. readers only, but don’t worry, I have a giveaway for you international readers too! I had my human fill this box with some very fun toys! And only international readers are allowed to enter this giveaway below:
Both giveaways end Sunday night, June 30, at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.
Because my human is spending what she calls “a fortune” on shipping fees for these giveaways, I did not think I was going to get any birthday presents this year. I was okay with that… but then I got a surprise box from EntirelyPets! They gave me these fun toys to review, which I will be doing over the next few weeks!
I can review one thing right now… the box is very cool!
Now, it’s time for cake!
It is layered Maryland crab cakes with crème fraîche frosting!
I wish I could eat like this all the time!
Enjoy! And in the spirit of Cat World Domination, I am going to devote much of this week to looking at ways in which we kitties have taken over!
Note: link to EntirelyPets is an affiliate links — we gotta cover those shipping costs somehow!

Happy Birthday beautiful Sparkle and many more sweet girl. I LOVE your birthday cake and if there is any left, I would like a taste. xoxoxoxo
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SPARKLE!!
We would be there but our Meowma is too cheap to buy 5 airplane tickets. Jasmine wants to know how you retain your youthful beauty, she is the same age and frankly she is starting to show her age. Enjoy yourself today Sparkle. Wish we could be there.
Purrs,
Jasmine, Joey, Eddie and Rosie
p.s. We are bookmarking this page (with your permission) to show Meowma how to have a “real” birthday party.
Happy Birthday, Sparkle! And Happy Cat World Domination Day! Or as we’re celebrating it…Happy Cat UNIVERSE Domination Day!! Why settle for the world??
That cat looks yummy! But we’re not sure there’s gonna be any left for us after Binga and Boodie get done with it. 😉
Happy Birthday Sparkle, we find it hard to believe that you are eleven, you don’t look a day over five to us. What a great party this is, may we try some buffalo gourmet, we have never tried that before
Have a wonderful day Sparkle!
Gerry & Mungo
Happiest Happy Birthday, Ms. Sparkle!! Looked at all that cool stuff you’re showing us–and I gotta admit the crab cakes got my whiskers ticklin’. Lovely, beautiful kitty you are-many more happy days for you (and us!)
XXXOOO

Happy birthday to you, Sparkle! And happy Cat World Domination Day! Wow your birthday dishes look yummy! I wanna try the tuna salad on fresh nip. The cake looks so pretty and delicious. We come over and play in the box jungle! And great giveaway! You are very thoughtful to do giveaway for international readers as well 🙂
Have a wonderful day!!
Sparkle, we wish you a very Happy Birthday. You and your human have outdone yourselves with the food and the photos of you enjoying it. And the box jungle picture with all three of you in it is a real winner too!
Lovely giveaways. We are going to stay out of the raffle and let somebody else win the litter box because we have a big covered litterbox each already.
You are correct, cats DO dominate the world all the time!
Wow, what a birthday Sparkle and no one deserves more than you do. This is such a great party. The food looks just purrfect. We can’t wait to dig in. We just love how each one of you got in a box just for the Mom. So a Very Happy Birthday to you Sparkle. Hope it is a wonderful day for you.
Happy birthday! What a great way to celebrate such an important day!
Happy Birthday, Sparkle! We’d love to come play in your box jungle with you and have some cake and good food too! We never get fancy food like that!!
Happy Birthday, Miss Sparkle! Make the most of this glorious Sparkle day.
Wow, that is some shindig you’re throwing there, Sparkle. Happy Birthday!
We nearly fainted when we saw all of those boxes, but we’re glad we didn’t, because we would have missed that great birthday cake at the end of the post. Happy birthday, Sparkle! You sure know you to pawty!
Happy Birthday 😛
We are having a wonderful time at your party, thank you for inviting us. The crabcake birthday cake is so gooooooooooooooooood.
Happy Birthday. I see you get to test out a couple of toys that I have. The Senses track is fun but the crinkle tunnel is my favorite. I race thru it several times a day and scare whoever is around! 😛
Happy, happy Birthday Sparkle!! 😛
oh yum – that Hello Kitty cake looks delicious!
I’m going to try my luck with the international giveaway (very thoughtful of you to think of us) 😀
hope you get lots and lots and lots of treats today!

Happy Birthday Sparkle! Whee sure would love to play in all those boxes but whee might eat them a bit too! Hehehe

Hi Sparkle! Happy Birthday to you, and we wish you many more! <3
We are going to enter your litter box giveaway. It would be nice not to have to hear the mom complain so much about how hard it is to clean out our box. 🙂
