Oh yes we did.

That will be the answer to David’s response when he sees this...




I know, I know. We made a cat cake for a cat who can’t eat cake. But today is Cutie’s 1st birthday. She was abandoned by her mom at 3 weeks old and left on our deck. She was curled up in a ball about the size of a small orange. She has been ours ever since. Most everyone in this family adores her.

And David is coming around.

She is sweet and calm and lets the kids hold her any way they want. They dress her in clothes, they push her in doll strollers, they make her dance. She can do the sprinkler and the running man. All while she continues to gaze lovingly into their eyes.

She smells like fabric softener because she spends most of her time in the laundry room. That is where she has toys and treats and a bed that is prettier than mine.

She has brought joy to this home, and we think she deserves a birthday celebration. And even though David called us “out of control” (harsh, right?) after the kids bought her a couple of gifts at Petsmart last night, I know deep down he thinks she deserves a celebration, too. I mean, look at her…who wouldn’t?

It takes having a pet to know just how much they can bring to our lives. Gotta love Cutie... even if she is a cat... just don't tell Doris.
Oh, and thanks a lot for making me crave your cakes right about now!

Well, I don't like cats. But I do like you... maybe you should withhold David's birthday cake and see how he likes it. Maybe he'll get the picture if it's one of those rock star things you do...

Hey, give us a new rock star recipe!

I have to agree with David on this one. Not even if it was a dog would I go for a cake :-)

And might I just add... your kitty and your kiddos are good looking, too. ;) Thanks for being a good sport.
