Number of people in swap:17
Location:International

Last day to signup/drop:October 16, 2013
Date items must be sent by:October 28, 2013
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

For this swap your cat(s) will be sending a letter to your partner's cat(s). The letter--which should be at least 1 typed or handwritten page--will be written from the point of view of your cat(s). Surely there are things your cat enjoys and (cats being cats) things that rub the kitty the wrong way. Your cat(s) might talk about food, lodging, relationship to owner, relationship to other animals in the home, etc. When you join, remember to put a comment below with the name(s) of your cat(s). Pretend your cat has a cat penpal!

Your cat will be sending a photo or digital printout of him or herself to the cat penpal and a flat cat surprise (stickers, notecard, postcard, etc) for the owner. Please put at least one cat on your envelope but feel free to decorate more!

Since this swap is international I'm requiring only flat items which should weigh around 1 oz, so the whole swap can be sent for $1.10.

Again, requirements are:

  • list your cat(s) names below so the letter can be personal

  • 1 1-page letter from your cat to your cat's penpal

  • 1 photo of your cat(s)

  • 1 flat cat surprise for cat penpal's owner

  • 1 cat (or more!) on envie you send

Participants must have a 4.95 rating, be rated for 8 Type 2/Type 3 swaps, and be recently active. If you don't meet these requirements and still want to join, please message me.

Cat people are the best people!

The cat who owns me is called Mr.Himskatti :)

My 2 cats are Slinky, she is a gray cat, old, but sweet, and her favorite thing is to lay on my bed to avoid the riff raff known as 'the icky dogs' that also share our home. She loves Twinkie but can't believe that he actually enjoys playing with the dogs. Twinkie is an adorble and sweet cream tabby with a huge plume of a tail! He is stunning gorgeous! He loves Slinky, but for some reason, he thinks he is a dog... a superior dog, but still he thinks he is a dog. He does something very, very cute! He puts his toys and my hair ties in his food dish! He as done this since he was a kitten and it is adorable! :)

I have four cats, Loki and Listy that are boys, and Daisy and Rachie that are girls. Feel free to write to any or all of them in your letter.

This is such a cute idea for the swap, can't wait to get started!!!

isabellasnow 10/ 6/2013 #

I love hearing about everyone's sweet kitties! @AmyCeltic my cat Junie puts my hair elastics in the cat water dish and she plays fetch like a dog with hair elastics!

isabellasnow 10/ 6/2013 #

@fingal55 . . . your kitty is named after the Norse god? When I read the Loki, I wondered if Thor would be the other boy!

I don't know if any of you have ever seen the rubber stamps "From the Diary of a Cat" . . . made by Viva Las Vegas stamps. Here's one they offer: "Day 765: Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was... hmmm, not working according to plan."

AtelierEem 10/ 9/2013 #

my cats are called Bink ("Though" in English) and Suzy, they are both grey tabby, but no relations... We got them both from Germany, where my stephdaughter lives and works for an animal shelter.

@isabellasnow that is so cute! I am so excited to transcribe their letters for them! Because, as far as they see it, I already work for them, so I might as well be their secretary! Lol!

TheBlackCat 10/10/2013 #

I'm secretary to Kitkat, Tux & Blue (described more fully in my profile). Blue & Kitkat have been begging me to let them write. Watch out though, Blue is a HUGE complainer =)

Also our foster kitten, Neptune/Giblet/Goblin (he hasn't chosen his favorite name yet), might love to have some mail. He's been feeling very under the weather with a cold and an inured eye (he can no longer see out of it, mostly just the difference between light and dark).

AmyCeltic 10/10/2013 #

@TheBlackCat Blue sounds like my kitty Slinky! I am sure all she will want me to write about is how miserable I make her life now that she has to share her domicile with dogs and that sometimes she is forced to eat dry cat food because a fresh can of Fancy Feast wasn't put out! Lol! Oh, what I wouldn't do for their furry faces though! She just gives me a look and I know she is not pleased. I can't wait to ask her what she would like to say to her new pen felines! :) This is going to be soooooo much fun!

Fanfreak 10/11/2013 #

I have 4 cats; Gurkan, Kakan, (males) & Musen and Luna (females) - feel free to pick one :)

Pinkfloydian 10/14/2013 #

My cat's name is Floyd - he picked his own name :) I had a group of friends help me with a list of names, so we sat down and tried out all the names, he ignored every single one of them. I'm a massive, massive, massive Pink Floyd fan - so jokingly one of my friends says "Why dont you just name him Pink Floyd and be done with it" - so returning the joke I call out "Floyd, Floyd, come here Floyd!" - and the wee kitten runs into the room and flying leap into my lap - it was literally the only reaction I'd gotten from him during the name trials :) So I guess even he liked Floyd as well :)

Tasia570 10/15/2013 #

i have 5 boys - Steve, Walter, Felix, Arthur and Gus Gus. Steve is most likely to correspond - he thinks he's half person/half dog.

lavendarcat 10/16/2013 #

Josh decided that we should join this swap. He is a grey and white senior gentleman.

zigg13pra 10/16/2013 #

I have 4 cats, 3 are listed/shown on my profile. Three boys are Loki, Arthur and Meeko, and the girl is Zoey. Meeko is the baby at only about 6 months old. He'll probably be the one to get overly excited about this swap.

Merozoite 10/16/2013 #

Can we have the cats Skype?

crafts4me 10/16/2013 #

Our cat name is Dexter AKA Scaredy Cat.

Tiam1980 10/18/2013 #

I have three fur-babies. Leo is my boy and Stormie and Daisy are my girls. :)

Pinkfloydian 11/19/2013 #

I'm really sorry to ask - but to anyone who's recieved anything from me could you please give me a rating? I don't really care about them personally I'd just be happy you got it and enjoyed it, but I'm finding it really really really hard to get into any interesting swaps with no ratings and have been kicked out of a few due to no ratings :( So, again really sorry to ask but could my peoples give me a rating it would be very much appreciated :)
