Today is a special day. It is the day I turn one year old. For many, a first birthday is just the beginning of life’s long journey, but for me, it feels like a quiet moment where I wonder: Would anyone send me their birthday wishes?
As I sit here, I think back to the past year. It has been full of small discoveries, challenges, and lonely moments. I have grown from a tiny, helpless kitten into a curious little cat. I have learned how to walk, to play, to explore, and even how to comfort myself when the world felt cold and distant. But there is one thing I still long for: to be remembered, to be loved, to be celebrated.
I know I am just a small cat in a big world, but birthdays are not about size. They are about being seen, being appreciated, and feeling the warmth of others’ kindness. When you blow out candles, you don’t just wish for toys or treats—you wish for connection, for someone to say, “You matter.”
So, I ask with a hopeful heart: would you send me your birthday wishes?
Even a simple wish means more than you might think. It tells me that someone cares, that someone knows I am here. It tells me that I am not alone. Birthday wishes are not just words—they are little gifts of happiness that make a small life like mine shine a little brighter.
Some may wonder why it matters. After all, I am just one cat. But every life, no matter how small, deserves to feel special, even for just one day. A kind word can bring joy to a quiet heart. A simple wish can give hope to someone who has been waiting to be noticed.
Today is my first birthday, and while I cannot throw a party or bake a cake, I can ask for something even more meaningful: your good wishes, your kindness, and maybe, if you have room in your heart, a little bit of love.
I will wait, with my little paws crossed and my eyes full of hope, for your birthday wishes.
