Cat Forum / General Topics / October 2005how to dispose of dead cat
My pets are fine and healthy. I've just always just wondered... how do people dispose of dead dogs and cats? With Weiner, we had him cremated and hes sitting in a urn on the top shelf of our bookcase.. When Calvin died at 4 weeks, we buried him in our backyard with a grave marker...but when our stray was ran over, we called the animal control to pick him up...he was too far gone(flies,etc). > My pets are fine and healthy. > I've just always just wondered... how do people dispose of dead dogs > and cats? > My pets are fine and healthy. > I've just always just wondered... how do people dispose of dead dogs > and cats? Hi Betty, I have three graves in my garden for deceased cats (Tiggypuss, Shandy and Cougar) and they are tended to keep them neat. In each grave I have planted 'Remembrance' Crocuses. I also intend to plant Brunnera macrophylla, otherwise known as the Perennial Forget-me-not, between the graves. Also, each grave has its own stone cat statue, each different as befits it's cat. In fact, within the paws of one statue, there is a bronze mouse: Cougar loved mice and was a great hunter. Oh yes, and I always talk to the cat in question whilst weeding round their grave. Spider I have a kitty graveyard in the back yard all of our friends that we have lossed over the years have their own marker  SignatureI forgot about my first cat, Go-Go...she is buried out in the back under a flower bed...that was her favorite spot to lay while she was alive... Calvin has a circular cement block with his name and death on it...there is also a mimosa tree growing there too, so when it gets full grown, it will shade him from the sun...and, yes, I talk with him when I pull weeds from around him ,too... >I have a kitty graveyard in the back yard all of our friends that we have >lossed over the years have their own marker > I have a kitty graveyard in the back yard all of our friends that we have > lossed over the years have their own marker even tho it's against the city bylaw here, two lil sites plus a marker for my other friends i've lost over the yrs. SignatureGhost My World http://members.shaw.ca/night-rider/main.html Weekly Walrus http://weeklywalrus.com/ #1 Webbrowser, http://www.mozilla.org/ I had a neighbor complain to the city about my back yard My words to the city when the complaint came in was my backyard, 6 foot high fence you can't see it unless you climb over my fence, if you did you broke the law. I see you in court. That was years ago they left me alone. The neighbor on the other hand was pushed out by the the other neighbors people just need to learn to if it ain't physically hurting them or someone else leave it be >I have a kitty graveyard in the back yard all of our friends that we have >lossed over the years have their own marker I have a big back yard, and between me and two neighbors, we must have buried a dozen cats there so far, in a fifteen year period, all along the backside of the house, where annual flowers get planted. We are cat people. FWIW: We just lost Trixie, two days ago (Oct 11 2005). She is buried there, as well. She was 10 years old, and died from complications of asthma. Trixie always loved the oudoors, and hated being kept inside. Here is the last good picture I got of her, shot on Jul 04 2000, when she was in her prime. http://www.shuttercity.com/public/g/gyrgrls/trixie%2Ejpg Signature-john wide-open at throttle dot info Purrs to you Johnny Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly they begin to run from the group, flying over the green grass, their legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friends finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet(s), so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... *** " And nothing but peace and the love of your Dear Friends"**** Author Unknown This should be added *** ****"Always remember We will be there even if you can't see me. We are always watching and Waiting. That cool puff of air you feel, that fleeting touch , the feeling you have that I was walking across your bed, that moment you swear you can hear us, that flicker of movement out of the corner of your eye. Is just our way of saying I love you and I am with you always even in the darkest time We Will Always Be there"*** Author Matthew ( NO MORE RETAIL ) >>I have a kitty graveyard in the back yard all of our friends that we have >>lossed over the years have their own marker [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > she was in her prime. > http://www.shuttercity.com/public/g/gyrgrls/trixie%2Ejpg Beautiful!

Spider I take it that putting the cat in the dumpster is a no no??? If caught your city county or state could charge you with animal abuse unless you can prove how the cat died. Most of the animal control or garbage pick units will pick up if you call them at no cost We recently moved to Manhattan. There are no back yards. There must be thousands of pets in our neighborhood, since almost every apartment has a cat or dog. We have never seen animal control coming around to pick up bodies. The only thing we can figure is that people toss their pets down the garbage chutte of their highrise apts along with the kitty litter. Betty p.s. Our pets are perfectly healthy and will be for many years (knock on wood), so I am asking just out of curiosity about disposal. You won't you have to all them and let them know what is going on. They show it on animal cops all the time Well we had a choice, the vet had Calvin in a bodybag and would put him in a dumpster if we didn't take him. The same with Weiner, we formed too much of a bond in that short time. Besides they're good for the backyard, jk :) Signature"Other than telling us how to live, think, marry, pray, vote, invest, educate our children and now, die, I think the Republicans have done a fine job of getting government out of our personal lives." >I take it that putting the cat in the dumpster is a no no??? > Well we had a choice, the vet had Calvin in a bodybag and would put him in > a dumpster if we didn't take him.

I agree---I think having them buried nearby --keeps their spirit near. Dumpster is NEVER an option for a loved being. Kitty a) you dispose of your fingernails in the dumpster, don't you? so what's wong with the dumpster? b) why do cats like to take a dump on the livingroom floor once every blue moon? > Well we had a choice, the vet had Calvin in a bodybag and would put > him in a dumpster if we didn't take him. The same with Weiner, we > formed too much of a bond in that short time. Besides they're good for > the backyard, jk :) Well, they are good fertilizer. I've buried two cats in the yard, one under an existing pine tree, for the other I planted a spruce tree next to her when I buried her. That spruce tree is now taller than another spruce planted two years earlier. If I couldn't bury them, I'd have to have them cremated. Tossing them in the trash just isn't an option. >> Well we had a choice, the vet had Calvin in a bodybag and would put >> him in a dumpster if we didn't take him.

Plus putting them in trash MAY be against the law. http://members.aol.com/larrystark/ http://members.aol.com/larrystark/strays.htm >My pets are fine and healthy. >I've just always just wondered... how do people dispose of dead dogs >and cats? When I had to put my oldest cat to sleep I let the vet place it at a local pet cemetary. Around here it is illegal to bury the pet in your backyard. (Don't blame me, I didn't make the law.) ------------------------------------------ http://www.barnabascollins.blogspot.com |
