Curlies kitty toys!!

**critters** · 04-21-2008, 11:05 AM

Hmm. I don't know, but I'll ask around. My guess is not much, because they're so light and so compressible (sp?). I can cram 50 into an envelope a little bigger than 1/2 a sheet of paper.

Let me go see if the post office has any info that might give me a "jumping off place."

OK, about how many were you thinking about?

edit: Well, 50 Curlies weigh about 5 ounces. According to USPS, First class International for 5 ounces would be $4.50. http://ircalc.usps.gov/IntlMailServi...1&P=0&O=5&sd=1 , if you can see it. That's a jumping off place, anyway.

Cecilias lovingly made Curlies have been such a hit around here!

To the point of them turning a different color from the combined catspit, and being batted under places that I can't clean under. But they do wash and dry (on fast wash, low dry in a lingerie bag) nicely but then after being marinated in more 'nip they get trashed again! That's why I love the festive colored Curlies so they don't get confused with hairballs etc.

I'm so glad you met Cecilia and that you've found such a creative way to keep her occupied, and make her some money too.

Keep on crocheting these fun kitty toys Cecilia, and keep coming up with new ideas for more toys Critters! Thanks from my happy feline family!

Maybe jumbo bells crocheted inside of balls?

Anyone in the UK want some? 50 would be too many just for Brody but she would be happy to post them on to others

You don't HAVE to get 50.

I'm just saying that the postage will decrease less than you'd think, given the weight decrease. Say you get 10, which is about an ounce (yeah, I know--I wish we'd go to grams, etc. too!). For some reason I can't get rate calculator to work for an ounce?...

PS--Cat Fish are now prototyped, and a pic is up in catmandu's Curlie thread in Cat Games. Cat Birds should be prototyped by Friday; neither has catnip at this point. They're also available, if you want one or some. PM me your email if you want a pic of Cecilia's chicks (not a kitty toy) or her hats. Personally, I think the chicks are just too cute!
