Whiskers the Cat stretched languidly. Today was his birthday! He awoke extra early, hoping for a surprise. But the kitchen was quiet. Mama Cat was busy humming a tuneless song, and Papa Cat was already snoring softly by the fireplace. Little sister, Pip, was engrossed in a game of peek-a-boo with her favorite stuffed mouse. Whiskers sighed. He ate his breakfast alone, a bowl of slightly burnt salmon. At school, his friends greeted him with their usual cheerful hellos, but no birthday wishes. Even his teacher, Mrs. Whiskers, seemed preoccupied with lesson plans. Whiskers felt a little pang of disappointment. It wasn't the birthday celebration he'd imagined. He trudged home, his little cat heart a bit heavy. He opened the door, expecting the same quiet house. Instead… A roar of "Surprise!" erupted! His friends and family jumped out from behind the furniture, all holding a giant, tuna-flavored cake decorated with sparkling candles and tiny gummy fish. Mama Cat, Papa Cat, and Pip were beaming, and even Mrs. Whiskers peeked in from the doorway, waving a small gift bag. Whiskers's eyes widened. "You remembered!" he whispered, his voice choked with happy tears. Mama Cat chuckled. "Of course, we remembered, sleepyhead! We just wanted to make it a really special surprise. We planned this all along!" Papa Cat winked. "We even managed to keep it a secret from your little sister—that was the hardest part!" That night, surrounded by the warmth of his family and friends, Whiskers blew out his candles, making a wish for lots more secret surprises and many more happy birthdays. It turned out to be the best surprise birthday ever!
