Cat birthday wishes and meme lines
Cats are famously hard to impress, which makes their birthday messages more fun to write. Some lines to borrow, written by us:
- Happy birthday to a cat who has never once come when called.
- Another year of knocking things off tables. Happy birthday.
- Wishing you a box to sit in and a sunbeam that never moves.
- Happy birthday. Your staff has prepared a cake you will ignore.
- Hope your day is all naps, treats and zero vet visits.
- Happy birthday to the real head of the household.
- You're one year older and still fully convinced the red dot is out there. Happy birthday.
- Sending birthday purrs from our house to yours.
- Happy birthday to the cat who sits on my keyboard and makes every workday better.
- Here's to nine more lives of naps. Happy birthday.
The deadpan Siamese image already says "Happy Birthday. I guess." on its own, so it works with no extra text.
Put these ideas into action

A funny cat image gets a laugh. A video of their own cat at a birthday party gets saved and replayed.
With PetVids, you send 5 to 10 photos of the birthday cat and pick a template such as Birthday Party or Dancing Cat. We make a short video of that exact cat, with their name, and a person checks it looks like them before it goes out. It's ready within 24 hours and costs $39, or $79 for 3 videos of the same cat.
Every order includes vertical, square and widescreen versions plus a movie-poster still of the cat, and you can schedule it to arrive on the birthday. For more ways to celebrate, see our cat birthday ideas guide.
