our first cat got hit by a car and we buried his body rather smartly in the garden before my eldest duaghter demanded to see his body..she was 9 then. A month later our hammy got strep throat off her and died and she was buried alongside....she had a red ceraminc tile painted for her marker and the cat had a wooden cross painted by my daughter.....when we got a diff house as we were moved for medical reasons she was so upset leaving htem behind in case someone dug them up like when we dug our garden over and i found several pig remains and a dogs skull with a few neck vertebrae and still wearing a collar
the land hadnt bene built on before our houses..it was a farm.
at our next house we had our beloved cat snuggles cremated and brought back as it was such a hearbreak it helped the girls and me grieve for him and move on....then my bunny had to be pts and didnt have the funds to do it again..so saldy i gave her to the vets for communal cremation and amde sure they put her fave toy cow in her body bag to go along with her
couldnt bury her in the garden there as the starving cats in our street would have dig her up..if not them the little ba****ds who were known as children..would have done it
here when we lost woozle so horribly my duaghter paid herself to have him cremated os he could live in her room like he always wanted to....it heped her thru the trauma of how he died cos of the stupid vet
same with my beloved kitty and her beloved kitty..they were all 3 reunited again and i would love to bury their ahses in large pots with plants in so i could take them with if i ever move again befoe i go!
oscar was cremated too.....again nikki paid for it as it helped her grieve and move on.....and feel safer as our garden is clay on chalk and orrible to dig and shrinks so bad in warm dry weather it rises up! not ideal for burials plus we have foxes n cats but now the netting is up i hope it will deter both for now. in the future id like to bury them in large pots and plant wildflowers etc on the topbut with the frenchies itd be too hard
my daughters having her 24th birthday today and still has both buns caskets in her room and we have all 3 cats together downstairs in the unit.
i want a green burial but havent doneit for my pets..its all to do with where when and will it help the grieving process. whatever helps do that.
i rememebr some years back a lady i knew had this masisve ginger cat who defied traffic in the road outside his house..after many years he got hit and nearly died..after recovering etc 3 weeks after being back home he dropped dead with a heart attack and she buried him at the entrnace to her drive behind the low brick wall he loved so much and with extra catnip form the bush he had of it...she said he had his catnip and his favourite viewpoint to watch the traffic go by even in death.
