Celebrating Cat World Domination Day (and a Giveaway)!

June 24, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat129 Comments

Did you notice the card in the background that says Super Kitty?

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!

Remember to chew the decoration!

We are serving iced nip tea! But I have to warn you to be careful about how much you drink — they pack a punch!

Catering really outdid themselves with this!

Also, you will want to enjoy the appetizer: albacore tuna salad on a bed of fresh nip leaves, right from my garden!

I'm not even the biggest tuna fan - and I loved this!

Dig in!

I hope I have enough for all the guests!

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!

The biscuit makes it extra tasty!

I think you will love my fun, casual main course. It is pulled chicken on biscuits! So tasty.

She is disappointed these are for guests only

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!

It is very stylish!

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!

My human also saw these at BlogPaws

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:

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Boodie is a little sad she did not get to play with these

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:

a Rafflecopter giveaway

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!

My human is off the hook... for now

I can review one thing right now… the box is very cool!

It is the perfect size for small cats like me

Now, it’s time for cake!

I've been waiting all day for this!

It is layered Maryland crab cakes with crème fraîche frosting!

I am Sparkle and I approve this cake!

I wish I could eat like this all the time!

It is okay to make a mess! My human will be HAPPY to clean up

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!

    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.

    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!
