Cat Birthday Cake

Carolyn Richardson
I remember the day it dawned on me that my feline friend, Mr. Whiskers, deserved a celebration. After all, every year with him is a gift—a cake seemed like the ideal way to honor our time together.

Equipment

  • Oven, Bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped cooked chicken breast—Protein is crucial for a cat and chicken is usually a favorite.
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree—This adds moisture and is good for digestion.
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots—A touch of veggie goodness that cats might surprisingly enjoy.
  • 1 egg—Acts as a binder and it’s also a great protein source.
  • 1/2 cup oat flour you can blend oats to make it—Easier on their tummy compared to regular flour.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil—A bit of healthy fat for a shiny coat.
  • Cat-friendly toppings like small pieces of fish or chicken and a sprinkle of catnip for decoration—Treats that make the cake look irresistible.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gathering Your Ingredients

  • First things first. Gather your ingredients. It’s much easier to have everything in one spot than to run around searching mid-bake.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the cake bakes evenly. I often set a timer for ten minutes. This gives me just enough time to gather my thoughts and prepare.

Step 3: Mixing Ingredients

  • In a bowl, combine the oat flour, chopped chicken, pumpkin puree, shredded carrots, and olive oil. Mix it gently. Then crack that egg in and stir again until everything is well blended. The smell might just tempt you!

Step 4: Prepare the Baking Pan

  • Grease a small round cake pan. A little olive oil works wonders. This is an often overlooked but crucial step. The last thing you want is a cake that won’t come out.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Slide it into the oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool the Cake

  • Once baked, take it out and let it cool. This part requires patience. The smell of savory chicken might tempt you to sneak a bite!

Step 7: Frosting and Decoration

  • If you want a special touch, consider a frosting made from pureed cooked chicken mixed with a dollop of cream cheese. Spread this on top once the cake is cool. For decoration, place small pieces of fish or chicken around the edges and sprinkle with catnip. This is where the fun really begins!

Notes

Here are some handy tips to help you with your cat birthday cake:
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh chicken and veggies taste better and are healthier for your cat.
  • Temperature Matters: Always let the cake cool completely before serving to avoid burns.
  • Portion Control: This cake is rich, so serve it in small pieces.
  • Use Non-Toxic Decorations: Always check that any decorations are safe for your furry friend.
  • Store Leftovers Properly: Keep any leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge.
