They had baked the cat a cake, but the cat wasn’t allowed any, which didn’t seem fair. It was bad enough we didn’t know when his real birthday was. Mum said cake wasn’t good for him, but it isn’t good for people either, is it? Dad said he wouldn’t like it. In the end we put a little forkful in his bowl, just so they could prove he wouldn’t eat it. He licked it clean and he didn’t even get a tummy ache. I thought that meant everyone could be happy. But for some reason it just made mum and dad angry.
