Cat party

Has anyone got suggestions for games that could be played at a cat themed
party? Most of the children will be aged 4-5, with a couple of 6 year olds.

So far we have:

Sleeping cats (sleeping lions)
Pin the tail on the cat
Cat treasure hut (put a sticker on a map where you think the mouse is
hiding)
Fishing lucky dip

Thanks:
Debbie

Send them all out to crap on the neighbour's lawn?

that would be dogs. cats would dig up & crap in the
neighbor's garden (according to the garden groups. however, my
barn cats have never crapped in my gardens or my neighbor's...
i think the leaves in the woods are comfierg)

OTOH, cats *do* sleep around 18-20 hours/day, so maybe you
can get the kids to nap?
are you planning any crafts? making pompom "cat toys" might
be fun for that age group. teach them to play cat's cradle
(might be too hard for the 4 year olds though)?

I don't know about games, but you could make this cake:

Just kidding! Too gross for 4-6 yr olds. I volunteer at an animal shelter
and we made that cake for a volunteer's b-day. It was a big hit!
Trying to think of games/activities... Have them come running when you open
a can?
What about buying some small cat toys and treats and paper lunch sacks, and
having the children put together and decorate gift bags for the cats at a
local animal shelter? As a shelter volunteer, we always love it when
children do something for the animals. It's so touching and is such a good
thing to start when they are young. (OK, off my soapbox and back to
lurking!)

Musical litter boxes or cat cushions? You could use a tape of the can
opener for the music. Make a cat paw to break a mouse pinata?

I've made that, it was so fun to make and watch the kids' faces. They
did like the taste.

How about getting a cat shaped biscuit cutter and baking some biscuits, and
then letting the children decorate them with basic water icing and chocolate
chips etc.?

Contrary to what their owners tell you, some cats often leave steaming
turds in the middle of neighbours' gardens.

LOL. I'm making a pink cat face. That's about my cake decorating skills!

I like that idea, but I'm not sure if they'd want to take them home if
they've made it :-)
I'll certainly save that for #1 and her best friend to do some time when
they're around.

Cat cushions sounds a good idea. I was trying to think how we could get
musical chairs in.

#1's been asking for a pinata. The best I've found is a dog one. Do you know
anywhere which sells mouse ones? I was also wondering whether they are
reusable?
