What if the cat sent the card? These messages are written from the hilarious, self-centered, and slightly demanding perspective of a true feline ruler.

1. Happy Birthday, Human. I have graced your lap with my presence as a gift. You are welcome. Now, where is my treat?

2. I notice it’s the anniversary of your birth. I will celebrate by allowing you to pet me for exactly 4.5 seconds. Do not disappoint me.

3. Happy Birthday. I knocked your favorite mug off the counter for you. It was a thrilling spectacle. Hope you enjoyed it.

4. Congratulations on surviving another year. Your primary purpose—feeding me—remains vital. Keep up the satisfactory work.

5. For your birthday, I have hidden a "gift" (a half-dead bug) somewhere in the house. Let the games begin.

Celebrating Another Year (and Another Nap)

Celebrating Another Year (and Another Nap)

Combine the classic theme of getting older with a cat's favorite pastime: sleeping. These wishes are perfect for anyone who appreciates a good nap.

1. Happy Birthday! At your age, it's perfectly acceptable to celebrate with a 16-hour nap. The cat would be proud.

2. You're not getting older, you're just becoming more cat-like: you groan when you stand up, you’re picky about your food, and you’d rather nap than socialize.

3. Congratulations on reaching the age where "partying hard" means falling asleep on the couch by 9 p.m. May your birthday naps be long and uninterrupted.

4. I hope your birthday is as satisfying as finding the perfect sunbeam to sleep in.

5. Don't think of it as getting older. Think of it as earning more stripes... and the right to nap wherever and whenever you want.

6. Age is just a number, but the number of naps you're entitled to is infinite. Happy Birthday!

7. Happy Birthday! May you have the energy of a kitten and the nap schedule of a 15-year-old cat.
