W is for…

Winners! Congratulations to Michaele, Cyn, and V – the random number generator loves ya! (I’m emailing the three of you in order of number selected so you can pick your yarn, so look for emails soon, Cyn and V, after I hear back from Michaele.) Many, many thanks to everyone who left birthday wishes and advice for my contest – your words of friendship, humor, and wisdom were wonderful to read.

W is also for Whiskers! Behold the Whisker Vase, which is actually a sake cup I got in Sante Fe a few years ago. Supposedly finding a cat whisker is good luck…

“Those are, of course, all my lovely whiskers, since someone bit off all of May’s whiskers. Must’ve been Mom!”

  1. Yay for your winners!

    Um, the whisker vase? Uh, ok. Hey, have you noticed if Chaos or May have one white whisker amongst all the black ones? Gandalf has one white, and the rest are ALL black.

  2. Chris, you shouldn’t be biting off May’s whiskers! 😉 From the looks of your whisker vase, you should be having lots of good luck. I hadn’t heard about finding a whisker being good luck. I may have to make a whisker vase. I wonder if the same is true for ferret whiskers? It’s good to see Chaos again.

  3. Wow… you KEEP the whiskers you find? I love finding them (kinda morbid, huh?) and playing with them b/c they are so surprisinly sharp. Has Chaos’ rear totally recovered?
    ps. your random number generator… seems not so random! The first contest I win, michaele also wins? (is the other gal connected to CO in any way?)

  4. Geez, Chris, quit biting off May’s whiskers. I thought for sure they’d be hers, since they’d be, well, bitten off.

    But that’s some good luck you’ve got amassed there!

  5. Oooooo….I won! Wow! Thanks! I’m so excited! The random number generator never loves me, so this is an exciting first! 🙂

    Dang, that’s a lot of whiskers…ar eyou holding out on us? Do you really have 10 cats in that house?

  6. Heehee! Like Brigitte’s cat, Isis has ONE single white whisker among all her black ones. It’s very funny. (It’s a long one, too)

    I also save my cats’ whiskers, in a little ceramic saucer. Two years’ worth of four cats’ whiskers is kind of a lot of whiskers.

    Is this an OCD thing? I think I too had an idea that it was good luck to hang onto them. Now I just feel kinda weird…but maybe not as weird as callalillie asking for people to send her *their* cats’ whiskers (who knows where those whiskers have been? lol)

    But she can’t have mine. They’re–you know–good luck.
