Description:

Every day my mailbox is filled with letters, postcards and packages from my penpals and the different swaps i do. Everyday as i sit on my bed opening and looking through these things. My cat sits patiently next to me watching as i open each item and rubbing against them when i set them down. I believe the reason she does this is cause she craves to recieve something herself.

Do you have a pet that would like to get mail. My cat would be more then willing to write a letter to your animal so there will be a letter in your mailbox one day for your pet.

Please add a comment or when you get your partner please send them the name of your pet and what kind of animal it is..

Thanks.

This is a riot. I wish I had pets! Have fun!

craftywitchygirl 06/11/2007 #

I loved the idea! I think we should say which pet we have.

I have a male mixed breed dog named Miolo.

TerryF 06/11/2007 #

Pudboo is a 2 year old male orange tabby.

kittenmeowmeow 06/11/2007 #

this is the cutest swap ever.i wish i could sign up for the twice. maybe there can be a sequel? . I have a cat named Frisky (5 year old male orange cat). He would like a picture of his penpal so he knows who he's talking too! some times he's so silly!

Chickpea 06/11/2007 #

I have two cats, Jezebel and Spike, and they recently celebrated their 7th birthday. They're brother and sister, and so they're used to sharing! Spike is an orange tabby and Jezebel is calico.

Windchimes 06/11/2007 #

I have more than one cat - they are getting together to collaborate. Last I saw them they were headed down the hall with a pad of paper and some pencils!

Twink 06/11/2007 #

This is the cutest idea ever!

I have a few animals, but the one who would love having a penpal most would be my calico cat, Belle. She's always interested in my mail, and she would love to have some mail of her own! :)

Rapture 06/11/2007 #

I have a 17-year-old beautiful tortie named Shadow. She's looking forward to receiving mail!

Kathleen 06/11/2007 #

My cat is a little grey-and-white former-stray named (very unoriginally) Baby. My mom was calling him "Lupin" (after the Harry Potter character Remus Lupin) when he first arrive two years ago, but it didn't stick.

classychica 06/11/2007 #

I have a 20 month oldpitbull named diamond-girl and she is my whole world. She is the sweetest lil puppy ever. I recieved her as a gift a few months after my chihuahua passed.She is my determination to wake up each morning ...long story but she makes my lil world complete...

Kris 06/11/2007 #

My girl Brownie would definitely be into getting and sending some mail. She's a 2-1/2 year old mixed breed dog. If you check out my blog, you can read about our therapy dog visits every Friday afternoon. She's very outgoing, so I know this is just the swap for her.

groundhoggirl 06/11/2007 #

I have an English Bulldog named Tess. She will love hearing from your pet because she makes friends with everybody, two-legged, four-legged, it doesn't matter. She just loves to love, and she has room in her heart for your pet too!

PinkParis 06/11/2007 #

I have 12 week old kittens, "Coco", "Daisy" and "Scarlet". They are in pre 'k' and just learning to write so all three will send mail to your pet.

szreader 06/11/2007 #

My two dogs, both rescues, are Asha (who loves to retrieve and get attention) and Kate (who loves to eat & get attention). They will enjoy receiving mail, for sure, and they'll have some stories to tell your pet, as well. What a great swap idea!!

user8925 06/11/2007 #

Believe me this will be a blast! My sister and I find our cats corresponding with one another several times a year, and it is always a hoot. If I can, I will join in here too later this week. My home is currently Occupied by nearly a dozen cats, four of which own me, and six of whom are on loan from three friends now travelling. There are alos two neighborhood cats who like to drop infor a snack now and then. Amazingly, all of them seem to get along, some well, some tolerably, and all like my little dog, a mellow young jack russell doggirl. She likely thinks she is a cat too.

Tilly1218 06/11/2007 #

I have a 4 yr old Jack Russell who would love to make a new friend! He would also like a picture in order to know what his new friend looks like. His mail should be addressed to: Mr. Milo Otis! Thanks.

Pooky 06/11/2007 #

I love this! My golden hamster Ophelia would love to get some mail! She's a spoiled little girl!

user8641 06/12/2007 #

This is too cute! My cat Oscar finds himself with too much time on his paws, so I think he would be happy to write a letter in between naps and eating. :)

squintgrad 06/12/2007 #

Love it!! I have a house full of pets, but there are two that share an interest in mom's mail and would love to have some of their own...

Bootzie - a 15yr old black & white cat (typically found in my lap

Duke - a 1 year old beagle (who has already learned that mail sometime has treats in it)

Thanks Raynekitten for coming up with this one!

nicoleblack 06/12/2007 #

Yay!

I've got two cats, Maxwell House and Biscotti Lucille.

We've also got one dog, Mugsy. Do you see a trend? LOL

user8949 06/12/2007 #

Hi! I'm new here - this is actually the second swap for which I've signed up, but the first one that will be sent out. Our dog, Henry, is 9. We adopted him in 1998. Our toddler will be thrilled that her big brother is getting mail! :-)

vmlay 06/13/2007 #

We have four cats any of who would love to receive mail, whoever writes to them could take their pick or write to all four in one letter :-)

Sprocket the Rocket -- who is afraid of mice (nasty mouse incident as a kitten!) and very shy MacKayla -- aka "Charge Card" and Empress of all She Surveys (she has attitude!) Joel Gray -- our laid back gray cat who loves music and naps and William Oranges -- the kitten who loves to cause mischief and mayhem.

RobynNichole 06/14/2007 #

raynekitten - Should this letter be from the prespective of the animals. Because I don't know about yall but all my animals talk to me and have a different personality. Or is this a letter about your animal??? Sorry I hope I am not thinking about this to much.

monichan 06/15/2007 #

I was so excited when I read about this swap. My cat Mr.Rat loves to to write! He can't wait to meet his new pen pet.

kaylarose2 06/16/2007 #

im so excited about this swap. i have a dog called star, two tortoises called dandilion and burdock and 2 goldfish called nemo and burberry. my dog star loves the post, she sits on the doorstep waiting for the postman then he gives her the post and she brings it to me, she is a great dog. the tortoises and fish dont care about the letters they r busy doing other things like keeping fit swimming or eating grass being heathly in the garden :-) star would love to recieve some mail

ideiascomestilo 06/16/2007 #

I just love this idea!!

I bet my 4 years old dog called Becas (is a she :o)) will love to have some mail... since shes always chewing mine... hehehe.

Suzanne 06/16/2007 #

I have two rescued guinea pigs named Diana and Lily who would appreciate not being eaten!

They are scared of pretty much everything so they ask that their penpal be nice and gentle. And nu eats!

Starwatcher 06/17/2007 #

What fun! Jackie, my Jack Russell Terrier (wire haired) and Jake, the Westie mix, are quite excited about this game I play just about every day. They sit at my feet while I type or sit under the table while I make the ATC's (they are very wary of falling art objects and glues and such). They are both looking forward to having a chance to put their thoughts into the mail! (Thanks for the cool swap, raynekitten!)

sittermom 06/18/2007 #

Ok my little dashound/chiuaua would love this swap. He loves to help me look thru the mail. His name is Mr. Weenie.

marianenita 06/19/2007 #

I love this idea! I have a male dog, a toller (nova scotia duck tolling retriver).

raynekitten 06/19/2007 #

how awesome i guess i was the only one who didnt give my pet name and style.

my cat is a 2 year old Grey and White striped Tabby named Snotty.

EuniceBurns 06/19/2007 #

I have a cranky, black and white 9 year old cat named Pinky. :)

hayleyk 06/19/2007 #

I have 2 cats, both boys, Jax & Dexter, but Jax will be writing the letter. He is smarter! Shh!!

earthnk 06/19/2007 #

Sir Bingo of the Poopy-panths Clan always Reigns on my parade:)

stat: 8 & 7/8 yrs old Birthday is July 4th SHD-Black as night and just as kewl! Knows the word "Treat" to the point that it can be mouthed from across a football field and he will appear to claim said and unsaid treat!

IndyGuapo 06/19/2007 #

Great idea!

I have two very musical lovebirds (Ariel and Tianna) and a 7 month old kitten who is desperate for another kitty friend! Her name is Bella Noelle (a.k.a. "Bella Vicious") and she tries to play with the neighborhood stray cats through our windows. Can't wait to hear from you!

LillyPad 06/19/2007 #

I'm a little confused, or maybe I'm stupid... This seems like a REALLY CUTE idea, but are we suppose to actually write words or put our pets through torture my dropping them in a pan of paint and letting them walk all over a piece of paper? I am assuming its like a person writting a letter to a person, so it would be WRITTEN WORDS, but I'm tired... so what do I know!?

LillyPad 06/19/2007 #

So... My stupid self has signed up to give one of my pets an up-lift HEHE, if anyone needs to know my pets, take your pic, I have 20 of them listed in my profile -- any questions (partner) go ahead and ask!

user9086 06/20/2007 #

This rocks. xD

My family has three cats and a dog. My cat Mortimer is going to write the letter - or, maybe more accurately, Boogle will write it out because she has thumbs, but Mortimer will dictate.

Cats: Mortimer (boy), Mini (girl), Boogle (girl)

Dog: Rusty (boy)

You can write to the whole mess of them, or just to Mortimer, but whoever Morty writes to, know that he'll talk about his family some.

Also, Mortimer would like a picture of who writes to him, too!

user4390 06/20/2007 #

What a great idea!

Oskar would love to receive a letter. He's an orange tabby with one eye. I'm sure he'd love to share his rags-to-riches story. :)

RobynNichole 06/20/2007 #

Any of my kittys or dog would love to get a letter. Plus a picture of their new friend.My babies names are starting with the oldest:

Abbie - black colly/lab

Bob - black cat (brother to Spike)

Spike - tuxedo cat (brother to Bob)

Fred - yellow and white fat cat also known as BIG BOY (brother to Buffy)

Buffy - grey and white cat (sister to Fred)

Oh and my brother owns 2 "male" mice. One of which just had 6 babies. But they don't like letters.

Chickpea 06/20/2007 #

Robyn Nichole, I see you're a Joss Whedon fan too! We also named our cat Spike after everyone's favorite blonde vampire!

user8737 06/21/2007 #

I got 2 two year old pomapoo named coco he is getting a sister in a couple weeka

Liana 06/21/2007 #

hehe this is a great idea. we have 2 cats, one is indie (8 years), but she belongs to my husbands mother. the other cat, gerome (about 4 years), is my cutie and i am sure he'll be pleased to get mail. he is a normal shorthair, but i think one of his parents or grandparents must have been a maine coon or something as he meows like them and his fur tends to be really crazy. he also has some issues going on (hard life before we found him in the yard last year, hungry and dirty, i can't imagine how you can throw an adorable cat like this out), so he is sometimes a very sad cat... but he gets used to us and most of the time he's happy and very thankful that we gave him a new home. so gerome can't wait :)

RobynNichole 06/21/2007 #

Chickpea, Yes I do love Joss. He is such a talented man. My Buffy is a little girl with lots of spunk and will take on even my dog at times.

sweetjewels1985 06/21/2007 #

Oh wow this is the coolest swap I've come across what a great ideal god I Have many pets

Border Collie (chocolate and white) Tippy 11 years old. Rottie Brodie she is 6 years old. Thomas DSH cat he's 2 years old. Missy DSH cat she is 2 years old.

azureskyz 06/22/2007 #

2 girl kitties live here. Buddy and Sputter. Buddy will be writing because she is braver and inerested in meeting someone new. So far, she loves my mail and wants some of her own. (they are 2 1/2 in people years)

CanadianGal72 06/22/2007 #

This is such an adorable idea.

I have:

A dog named Patches, he is a Lhasa Apso and is 7 yrs old.

Trixie is a tabby cat and she is 8 yrs old.

Abby is a long haired domestic and he is 9 yrs old.

I got all my babies one year apart.

My pets petpal could write to any or all of them. Thanks!!!

raynekitten 06/22/2007 #

sorry i didnt see your question i would love for the letters to be from the perspective of your animal.

:)

2ndstar 06/23/2007 #

I have 2 cats: - Aphrodite: A female black long haired cat - Oliver: A male Siamese

user6740 06/23/2007 #

What a swap! It really tickled me when I saw it. How can I not sign up? I have a black and white boy cat named Figaro. He's eleven years old, but still thinks he is a kitten. Honestly!

He'd love a picture of his penpal, and he's currently trying out poses in front of the mirror to show his partner who he is! What a cat...

JenL 06/23/2007 #

I have a 3 year old male Puggle (a cross between a pug and a beagle) that is named Mongo. We've had him for almost 2 years now. A co-worker of mine through summer school rescued him from an animal shelter, where Mongo was about to be put to sleep. The original couple that owned him just had a baby and didn't feel like they could take care of him, too. He's a great dog, even if he is ornery!

JewelzyBug 06/23/2007 #

Hi All!

I have 5 fur-babies to choose from:

KAZIE - m - big black fat cat who gets into EVERYTHING, hence the shortened name of "Kamakazie". ROSE - f - primadonna kitty who was found in the hallways of my apartment building on New Years. She spends her day in regal poses and tries to keep all of her brothers away from her. VENTURE - m - my grown kitten. He was born on the end of my bed. He likes to spend all of his time at the highest places in the apartment as he can get. WICKETT - m - 3 words: fat, lazy, fluffy. My maine coon who likes to spend his days sleeping anywhere, anytime, anyplace. And lastly, JEWELS - f - my boston terrier who loves to chase around the cats and tell them whos boss (just as long as they don't tell her who is REALLY the bosses because then she has to hide behind mommy for protection from the scary cats).

ClareyFairy 06/23/2007 #

I have a rabbit called Smudge who is 10 months old, and he loves paper! He would love to receive a nice letter from his penpal with a picture if possible =D

(Am i right in thinking that we write about our pet not the pet we are writing to?)

Great swap idea

user7866 06/23/2007 #

This is such a cute idea!

I too have a plethora of pets who would love to hear from your pet! They can all share your letter, so don't worry about getting me! lol But whomever you pick would love a picture of their pal too, if possible :)

bordercollielover 06/24/2007 #

What a fun idea! I have a smooth coated border collie named Maynard G. Krebs.

Thanks for doing this swap!

Clayshaper 06/25/2007 #

(What a fun swap!) The likely canidate in our household is "Big Bertha" my rather robust Rottweiler- she is a certified Service Dog, and she has her own blog, so she's quite skilled at writing. (COUGH) ...okay, I have fun writing 'her' blog- I sincerely hope no one thinks the dog types or dictates what to type. :P But it's fun, isn't it, to stop and think what YOUR pet might have to say? Fun!

user8789 06/25/2007 #

. . I JUST saw this! how cute! Cookie is going to be sooooo excited!

He is an Orange Tabyy and love Cat Nip (of coarse!). If there was just a note and cat nip he would be estatic! hahahaha

This is the cutest swap I've seen here. Thanks bunches for hosting it. :<)

CarriePie 06/25/2007 #

user9552 07/11/2007 #

Hi there

I'm new to this, so here it goes :) I love pen-palling and my little puppy, Jinx would also love a pet penpal or two, she is a 6 month old tiny, little Jack Russell, she loves cuddling up on my knee while I write to my penpals and she loves Pink things :) She would like to write to UK pets only, as she can't afford the postage on overseas, if anyone's pet would be interested then email me at [email protected] and we will get right back to you

Hugs, Krissie and Jinx :)x
