Kitty whiskers needed!

[Catsnclay]

I know this is going to sound strange, but I'm in need of kitty whiskers.....no, I don't want you plucking them from your babies but if you happen to see one on the floor, or chair, could you please start saving them for me?!

Here is the reason, so you don't think I am completely nuts :

I work with clay, and this fall I am in charge of a local No-kill shelter's annual fund raiser (HOW I got hooked into this is another long story... ) I thought it would be unique to auction off a pot that was done in a technique where you singe horse hair to the pot, but instead of horse hair, it would be kitty whiskers. BUT.....this would take a whole LOT of kitty whiskers.

So I'm asking you, if you would the next time you see one, put it in an envelope, wait until you get a bunch, and then please mail them to me.

For my address, please PM me.

I will take pictures of the finised project, and hopefully it will go for big $$$ for the shelter - the main reason for doing this!.

Thank you, and start saving!!!

The nutty one! I think the 113 degrees weather is burning my brain up

I have a collection of whiskers you may gladly have. It will give you a fine start. PM me your address please.

(by the way, I started this whisker collection thanks to slick and a few other PT'ers who said that THEY collected cat whiskers.)

[Laura's Babies]

I have been collecting them too but I really don't have very many.... don't want to part with them at this time but maybe by the time you are ready to do the project......?

[jenluckenbach]

Do you have a photo of what the technique looks like? (with the horse hair, I would presume) I think I might have seen it once, but can't remember.

[catmandu]

I will have to check to see if anyone has lost a whisker or two.
I dont remember seeing any, but I will check.

[slick]

I have lots. Will PM you.

Why on earth would someone steal whiskers???!!!

Don't worry about it Kim, although I do hope they catch whoever did this, and you can recover some of your possesions. IMO I personally think you were watched the day you left and they knew the house was empty

Thank you Tracey!!!

Got my envelope full of whiskers today!!!

[jenluckenbach]

I sent mine too, and already have a start on a new collection.

Thank YOU!!

They came and wow! You must have been saving these for a l-o-n-g time!! VERY much appreciated!!!

You should have seen the way these came, all perfectly lined up with each other in a plastic bag My husband asked if I had a permit for transporting "hazardous materials" through the mail ........men.

Bumping this up for Bunny. I think she is almost ready to do her project.

Any whiskers out there??

[catfamily]

With all my cats I should find some.I'll look.My husband does the vaccuming around here...I'll tell him to look before he does it again and i'll be looking now and then I'd be happy to.I'll PM you when I get them for your address.

Catnapper...I'm so sorry your for jewelry getting stolen.That's terrible.I hate theives as much as I hate Murderers.I know it sounds crazy...But It really bothers me to think people can steel from others and feel they are still as good as the next Joe.Whiskers though?That's weird.
I've been robbed before also.Broken into while at work.Stole everything years ago.A horrible feeling.
I've had friends(not friends any more) steel little tiny things from my house...And I cannot understand it for the life of me.They think that you don't know too.That's more of a disease.

Ok, our weather has finally cooled down enough for me to work over a 1600 degree kiln!!

****Anyone out there with whiskers, please I need them now!!****

Please PM me for my address, I will take as many as you can spare!

I've been busy with the upcoming shelter Cat/Art show, they now made me in charge of alerting the media along with finding other artists - - oh man, this is going to be fun.....NOT! For days now I've had all the phone #'s of the local TV stations on the desk all I have to do is call them, but I've chickened out every day!! I so do not want to do this!!!!!

Any way, thanks in advance for your USED whiskers - Please do not pull them from your kitty!!!
