I also have read about the ashes being made into all sorts of things. I have our deceased cats' ashes in different things. Mickey is in a ginger jar, Ashley in a Chinese incense burner with a cat on it, Boo in a canister with poppies on it, little Sylvia in a little teapot with spring flowers on it, and Spunky in a biscotti container with roses painted on it(he LOVED to eat roses!). I have a favourite toy, photos, and the tribute that I wrote for each cat. I think I have some fur in a few of the containers. I tried to make each container that the ashes were put in, have a personal meaning to the cat. Sandra
