All I Need To Know About Birthdays, I Learned From My Cat!
Be finicky - they'll try harder to please you.
Give attitude - get attention.
If you don't like your presents, SULK.
If you get bored at your party - just curl up for a nap.
Don't stress out over your first grey whisker
Act completely unimpressed by the presents you receive.
Remember, this is your day, so if anyone bugs you, you're allowed to hiss and spit.
Take the day off and lie in the sun.
Stay out on the prowl all night long.
Demand only the most expensive fresh fish for dinner.
It's a good day to shed your inhibitions.
Act catty - toy with your presents before you tear them open.
If you aren't getting enough attention, sharpen your claws on somebody's leg.
Don't let anything or anyone PUT YOU OUT!
