If you've visited The Meditative Cat during the past 10 years you know what an incurable ailurophile I am. From domestic cats to wild jungle cats to Catwoman to the singing & dancing furries of CATS the musical show, I love 'em all. And I'm not alone. Cats have fascinated humans for millenia. Maybe it's their ability to effortlessly blend seemingly contradictory traits: loyalty and independence, affection & aggression, playfulness & dignity, curiousity & indifference, earthy sensuality and an otherworldliness that makes them often seem psychic. (I personally believe that cats are indeed very intuitive and sensitive to those they care for) At any rate... to cats, these traits are not contradictory so what better symbol of integration and wholeness than the cat? Cats have long been held sacred and linked to images of power. In ancient Egypt the Goddess Bast was not only the divine mother of cats, She was also protectress of the Pharoah and of women, Goddess of joy, dance, fertility & motherhood. The Egyptian term for cat was Mau, an imitation of a cats cry and a mother-syllable.

Of course as anyone who has shared his or her life with a cat knows, there are as many reasons to love cats as there are cat lovers and none of us need a scientific explanation as to why we do! And this jewelry collection is for you. All pieces are handcrafted using only fine sterling silver and semi precious gemstones such as garnet, black onyx and lavender jade. The collection is constantly changing; I make each piece myself and sell a limited number of each design. Some are personal favorites that I enjoy making so much, they'll be available for quite a while. Other pieces may be re-worked as new ideas occur to me or new materials become available. And some creations will be temporarily or completely abandoned. We never know what our personal Muses are going to inspire us to do, do we? :-)

I'm also a Reiki healer and have noticed that the channeled healing energy of Reiki and the subtle energies of natural gemstones and sterling silver enhance one another beautifully so all the jewelry I make and sell are charged with Reiki energy as I make them. For anyone not familiar with Reiki (pronounced ray-key) it is, in its simplest translation, universal life energy. If you'd like to learn more about Reiki or if you have a feline family member who's in need of healing energy, I also host an online forum The Circle of Healing Purrs where your cat can receive free distance healing.

Each necklace & pair of earrings has its own energy & personality so of course each piece not only comes in its own gift box, but has its own name :-) Next to each photo is a brief description followed by the price. I prefer to be paid online via PayPal but also accept Western Union and USPS money orders sent through the mail from buyers within the U.S. only; email me for details.

I am usually able to ship within 72 hours of payment and always use USPS priority mail so if you live in the continental U.S. your package should arrive in a week or less; shipments to Alaska or Hawaii might take a bit longer.

~~~ I am no longer shipping internationally. ~~~

My apologies to everyone out there in our global village, but dealing with the bureaucratic complications of multiple postal services has become too expensive, too cumbersome and lately, too often unreliable. I ship all packages within the U.S. fully insured and with delivery confirmation.

10% of the profits from the sale of my jewelry is donated to animal welfare charities, one of which is Winging Cat Rescue.

Their mission is to save cats and kittens from Death Row, place them in foster care, and ultimately find forever homes for as many as possible. They are a nationwide licensed rescue organization currently focusing on (but not exlusive to) an Animal Control Pound in Griffin, Georgia in the U.S. This pound uses inhumane gas chambers as their method of "euthanasia" and Winging Cat Rescue is determined to save as many cats as they can. They rely solely on private donations. Please visit their website to read more about their work and view some of the beautiful deserving cats they are trying to help. And if you're a member of Care2, join Supporters of Winging Cat Rescue, a new group that has been created (thanks, Andrea!) to help spread the word about this wonderful organization and to help them to help these and so many other deserving cats. It's free to join and you'll be able to talk to other cat-loving members and get updates about WCR's cats in need and cats that have been saved too. You can also see photos of some of the cats WCR has rescued here.
