We don’t know exactly when the cats were born since someone just found them in the “wild” but the rescue we got them from put 4/1/16 on their paperwork. Finn and Ezra weren’t too crazy about that date because it’s April Fools Day. Finn wanted to make their birthday the same day as his, but Ezra was not OK with that. So, we finally decided on April 2nd. Here is a typical set of photos of them — Sophie, ever alert and Emmy, resting.
At some point during the day, we decided we needed a birthday cake. And why not make it a cat cake while we’re at it? I found an online how-to (of course) and set out to make it. Two round cakes were transformed into a kitty!
I made vanilla buttercream frosting, then Bruce and Finn worked on the coloring and decorating.
We melted chocolate to make eyes and a mouth.
And voila!
The girls didn’t get any cake, but they got some roasted chicken.
I think they have a pretty good life.
