Default Cat Cremation Urns

For the past couple of years I have been trying to find a nice, elegant
urn for Kami's cremated remains when she goes. What I have found is
either dull, cheesy, or too cutsie. There was one porcelain urn that I
liked, but it's $277. The first time I saw it, it was $165--maybe I
should have bought it then.

Anyway, my search turned to looking for cat sculptures that are hollow,
or could be hollowed out to hold cremains. I saw one I liked and wrote
to the company to ask about it. The actual artist wrote me back--
another cat lover, in fact--and said they had discussed the idea of
urns, but were not familiar enough with the market.

I sent her some links to urn sites and she agreed that they are totally
lacking. I'm going to commission her to prepare one of her statutes
especially for Kami, but she also wanted some ideas on what people are
really looking for, and we both had the question about what the volume
of cremains was for your average cat.

Comments?
