FAQ
What do you say on a cat’s birthday?
Keep it playful and personal: use the cat’s name, mention a favorite treat or habit, and add a short wish for another healthy year.
How old is a cat in human years?
There is no exact rule, but a one-year-old cat is roughly like a teenager and a two-year-old like a young adult. Ask your vet for guidance on your cat’s age.
How can I celebrate my cat’s birthday safely?
Offer a favorite cat-safe treat, a new toy and some extra playtime. Avoid chocolate, onions, grapes and human cake, and keep candles away from curious paws.
