My cats are shopping for my birthday ... kinda

So I have a birthday coming up.  Gifts aren't necessary.  Mostly, I just want to spend time with my favorite people and have a good time.  I'll be doing that on the big day, for sure.  But people still always ask what I want for my birthday, and I'll admit, I do like presents.  Who doesn't?  I plan to treat myself to something new, but that seems weird, so I've decided to buy myself something and say it's from my cats.  That's normal, right?

I decided to crowdsource on Twitter last night:

Currently trying to decide what the cats are going to give me for my birthday. (OK, really what I'm going to give myself, but …)

If you were my cat, what would you give me for my birthday?

The answers I received were fantastic.

@TheBestMicah A nap, obvs.

@TheBestMicah a furball?

@TheBestMicah A half-finished milk carton with whiskers dropped in, a mouse head, and a hairball wrapped in a sock (this is the fancy way).

@TheBestMicah The sock shows you I care! <3 =^..^=

@TheBestMicah A gift card to a bookstore, or a growler of your favorite beer.

Will obviously thinks my cats are nicer than they are. Those would be amazing gifts. Sadly, Megan and Ari are probably more on the money. Nicole's suggestion sounds amazing though.

I'm still shopping for myself on behalf of my cats.  I may end up emptyhanded, which is usually how things end up for me when I'm intentionally shopping for someone.  I always draw a blank.

Then again, it's Amazon Prime Day, so maybe I'll/they'll be inspired by one of the sale items.

Have you bought yourself a gift? What was it?
