Have you ever heard someone say pets are people too? That’s what you’ll hear from people like me. We clean out their dirty kitty litter all the time just like any other household chore. People like me are the ones that dress their little furry friend up in outfits. We also let them eat off of dinner plates just like any guest would in our houses. To people like us, pets are permanent family members. We are just as interested in their health and well being as we are about our real kids. We worry about them and take great enjoyment in their individual quirks.
Everyone knows that there are millions of American men and women who have never had any kids of their own. Some people just aren’t capable of fathering children for one reason or another. Others have purposefully chosen to be bachelors or otherwise remain single. Sometimes single adults find themselves longing for the gratification of mentoring a child. If having a real baby isn’t an option for whatever reason, some of these good people may choose to substitute a pet as if it were their actual kid.
Who can blame these good people for desiring that kind of affection in their life? Most pets are so lovable that it is easy to see how they fill the roll. Many of you probably know friends or relatives that treat their pet like it was one of their own kids. It doesn’t make them crazy.
So, if the pet is going to be a regular member of the family, why not have a birthday party for it on its birthday? Why not do what you would do for any other child. You can make her a special pet treat style cake. Put a candle in it and help her blow it out. Sing the birthday song to her just like you would a child. Then when you’re finished, go ahead and let her rip open her presents. If it is a kitty, you should wrap some kind of catnip filled object in loose wrapping paper so she will be able to rip it open like a child.
Don’t forget to record the special moment so you can share it on the internet. Look at how many other pet lovers have posted mpegs of their cats and dogs online there. There are some really good ones with dogs on there. If you don’t believe me take a look for yourself.
So, just because you don’t have any human kids at home, or even if you do, it doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate your cat’s birthday. Pick up some new toys for your little furry pal and enjoy the moment just as you would with a actual kid.
