Cats choose their people, which is what makes losing one so particular. A cat urn doesn't need to be large to hold that much love. Most cats need only a small urn, and this collection is full of pieces sized for them: brass songbirds that fit in your palm, Italian wood cubes with mahogany interiors, and ceramic urns that double as flower vases so their spot in the house stays theirs.
How to choose a cat urn
Sizing is simpler for cats than for dogs. The standard runs one cubic inch per pound, and most cats weigh 8 to 15 pounds, so almost any urn in this collection will fit with room to spare. The Ludlow, at 28 cubic inches, holds a cat's ashes comfortably. The Lucy Songbird, at 7 cubic inches, is a keepsake size, right for a portion of the ashes or for the smallest companions.
Styles run from quiet to personal. The Ludlow is a clean wood cube in six colors with a satin ribbon interior and your choice of an engravable pendant. The Lucy Songbird is cast brass in crimson, frost blue, bronze, or pearl white, a small bird that reads as sculpture, not sadness. The Vega hides the ash chamber inside a working vase, so the windowsill they claimed can hold fresh flowers over them.
When the ashes come home, they arrive sealed in a bag inside a temporary container. That sealed bag can go straight into the urn, no opening required. Your vet or crematory will gladly handle the transfer if you prefer.
If more than one person needs to keep them close, keepsake urns and cremation jewelry let a household share, and a few of these pieces can be engraved at checkout.
Questions, answered
What size urn do I need for a cat?
One cubic inch per pound. A 10 pound cat needs 10 cubic inches, so nearly every urn here fits. The Lucy Songbird at 7 cubic inches suits a partial share or the smallest cats.
Do I have to open the bag of ashes?
No. The sealed bag from the crematory goes into the urn as-is. If the urn opening is snug, ask your vet or crematory, and they'll handle the transfer for you.
Is there an urn that doesn't look like an urn?
Yes. The Vega is a working flower vase with a hidden ash chamber, and the Parker is a stoneware candle holder. Both keep them present without a word of explanation.
Can I engrave a cat urn?
On several of them, yes, as an add-on at checkout, from their name to a short line.
Can two people share the ashes?
Keep the main urn in one home and a keepsake urn or cremation necklace in the other, so neither home is without them.
