I am so very pleased with my card and kitty calendar from Whisker's MOM
It arrived so early; it is the first card on the Christmas Card string. . . .
I sent mine out last week to (drum roll
) Jeff24Girl (Carla
) I made the front of the mailing envelope into a greeting and sent her a copy of one of my favorite books The sssssssSecret Life of Cats ! Hope it arrived okay.
I wanted it to get out before Catnip Meeces. . . Which will be mailed (near and far) starting Dec. 1st.


Thanks again to my Santa, Gyl

I have a question about mailing something, maybe some one here knows the answer. I want to mail little packets of catnip to some of the people on my list (general Christmas list, family and friends), like the small craft sealable bags. I don't want to get in trouble for mailing it, with all the security at the post office, and it does look like marijuana if you don't know what it is.

Any thoughts, suggestions, etc?

Puy a cute sticky on label on the individual bags saying what it is and tell the post master when you mail them what it is. I have been mailing catnip mice for years this way.

I would think as long as you clearly label it as catnip you shouldn't have any problems. Plus, unless it has to go thru customs chances are it won't even ever be opened for inspection.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
Just label it and inform the postmaster and you should be just fine, no matter where it's going. Catnip has a completely different profile from marijuana - even in X-ray, chemical sensors, etc. (We've analyzed a number of the companies that make the equipment).

It might take a little longer to ship it to Canada than a package or card without it - but it shouldn't be a problem. :tounge2:

I really am worried now...I should have sent mine out sooner...but I haven't even bought it yet!
I am planning on doing that this weekend, and will mail it out as soon as possible! It has to go overseas, too...so I am hoping I haven't waited too long for it to get there on time...I am so bad about remembering to do things lately!!!!

Overseas delivery takes about 4-6 weeks if you do surface mail, which is the cheapest. If you use airmail then it takes less time. It also depends on which country, I mail to Germany quite often and the LEAST amount of time its ever taken is 2 but normally longer.

Debby, if you don't think it'll arrive just PM your person so they know they weren't left out and that it is on the way still, ok?? Thanks!

Debby, I think everyone understands that its a busy season and with the holidays and all people get side tracked!! And I'm sure your person won't mind one bit.
Besides you have a new baby at home and you are working too!!!!!!!

Don't worry Debby, I haven't sent mine out yet either. I haven't even got Christmas Cards yet!

I did get mine in the mail, though! A_Loveless_Gem, aka Magdeline, sent me the cutest kitty card with a wonderful note inside and pictures of her kitties, who are both adorable! Thank you!!

Oh my gosh! Thanks for the reminder!
I forgot about those.
I've been so busy lately, that I thought I had enough time to get one and send it out. *Must hurry hurry hurry!*

Mine is going out this week to the USA so it shouldn't take too long! I also have some cards to send out for some other people here!

Did I read somewhere that we can ask for one of the mods addresses to send a card to them, too? How do I do that? I just looked through the original Secret Santa thread and couldn't find the info. Thanks.

Brenda, just PM Daniela (dtolle) and ask for the address. She'll get it for you.

I'm sending mine out today, too. I'm so excited, and I hope she likes the little prezzie!
