Emily’s Birthday Party 2025
We are very sorry we were late uploading Emily’s birthday party. Her birthday was July 1, and we were so busy we just forgot to upload the video and the blog post. You may be wondering why we suddenly started having birthday parties for Emily, and why only for Emily.
I never thought about a birthday party for any of my cats, but one day I got an ad in my email about making a cute birthday party for your cat. That was back in 2024, and I didn’t purchase everything they had for cat birthdays, but I did buy the treats and the cute little birthday cake cat pan. I made and painted her birthday hat myself. In case you are interested, the birthday cake pan has three cavities and came with its own birthday cat cake mix. They said to use yogurt for the frosting on the cake, but we just used Emily’s favorite creamy cat treat instead (I didn’t know if yogurt would upset her tummy).
The reason we used Emily and not the other cats is the fact that our other cats really don’t like costumes. Emily doesn’t mind, so putting on a birthday hat or a scarf is okay for her, and usually she responds well to things like birthdays and being filmed. We are not affiliated with any store, but in case you want to purchase some of the items, you can get them at Chewy.com.
For Emily’s 2025 birthday, I just slightly froze her favorite pâté cat food inside the little fish-shaped cake pan. Also, this year we didn’t make three little fish-shaped cakes—only Emily got one. Before we put the pâté in the fish-shaped cake pan, we greased it with olive oil. Then we froze it for 15 minutes and ran a knife around the edges. It stuck a bit on the bottom of the pan. Next year I think we will put some parchment paper at the bottom first and then grease the pan. It didn’t really matter because we frosted the cake with some creamy cat treat, so the roughness was covered. We also purchased an “It’s My Birthday” kitty scarf for her this year—because we thought it was cute.
Sorry we are not telling you the exact age of Emily. I think it is good enough to say she is the oldest cat of the old clowder and that she is special to us.
Emily didn’t do as well for her birthday this year. It was before her vet visit, when we found out she had a urinary tract infection. To learn more about that, you can click here:

Safety Cautions
Yes, we used a candle on her cake, but we stayed right there, blew it out for her, and got it away from her right away. One thing you don’t need is a vet visit because the cat burned their paw or nose, or maybe even caught their fur on fire.
Yes, we did wrap her gifts, but again we kept very close attention on her. My wife painted them (she loves crafts), but we had no idea if the paint was cat-safe. So we never let her chew on or lick the packages. We also opened them for her for the same reason—we didn’t want her to chew on the packages to get to the treats.
