My cat needed to be euthanised last month, and I just received her ashes. They came with a round black sticker. What’s the purpose of this sticker?
They mentioned my chosen urn was suitable for sprinkling cremains (I don’t plan to do that) – maybe it’s related to that?
Thanks.
Damn I read "my cat needed to be enthusiased and I just received her ashes" and though WTF did you do to make her so excited?
side note: enthusiased is not an english word but in greek (ενθουσιασμενος) it makes sense and it translates to "excited"
It would be “enthused” in English
huh, TIL, thanks
I think you put it on the bottom of the urn and write your pet's name on it. I have four tiny urns on my bookcase now and labeling them has proved important.
Sorry for your loss.
Thank you. I’m sorry for your loss, too.
Could it be for the bottom of the urn to write something with marker or pen?
My condolences
Could it be to re-seal the urn?
Try to shine strong flaslight trough it, if you'll see traces of wire it's a RFID/NFC sticker. Those are used for identification.
That's blue
Why are not more people talking about this????
Not tov start another debate about the color of something online, but that looks very much like an inventory sticker. The blue ones are much lighter blue than that. That is a black sticker, and the glare bouncing off of it makes it look lighter
You say this is black?
It’s definitely black. It has a bit of sheen and looks dark blue in the photo because of that.
bro is pretending he doesn't know how reflections work
Color theory strikes again. It's blue in the photo but the sticker is probably black irl to your eyes.
Don't bring colorism into this debate
Colorism matters. But only in art....man there isn't any good way to say that
I doubt this is relevant but my mind goes to the book Treasure Island
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Spot_(Treasure_Island)
The Black Spot is a literary device invented by Robert Louis Stevenson for his novel Treasure Island (serialized 1881–82, published as a book in 1883).
Sorry for your loss. I went through this myself today. I'm devastated.
I’m so sorry. That’s really hard. I hope you’re okay.
To me it looks like a generic sticker. Does the backing of the sticker look like it was cut off of a strip of stickers? Or maybe a sheet
https://www.amazon.ca/Round-Color-Coding-Sticker-Labels/dp/B07V67XHMB
I could see it as being a part of some internal identification system they use. To keep track of pets, urns, or what is being worked on a particular day. Maybe which urns have been reserved and which are free to use.
What I think may have happened
Someone cut the stickers and left it on top of whatever they were supposed to identify, for someone else to use later
It was never used or needed, and fell in with the stuff that was sent to you
Best way to confirm would be to ask, I'm sure they wouldn't mind confirming!
Sorry for your loss
You could be right. That would make sense.
Thank you!
If you stick it to something and then peel it off, does it leave a symbol? They have tamper detection stickers that leave a design when peeled off but they may not have used it on yours as it appears to be a fabric.
It does not. It’s paper, with a bit of a sheen.
I think the suggestions it’s an inventory sticker that was accidentally included make the most sense.
