My Cat Died

Off Topic
1


I looked in the thread of universal advice and I didn’t see this one covered so I feel semi safe posting this. Feel free to mock me though. I’ll just weep in silence on my side of the keyboard.

A couple of weeks ago my 19 year old cat died. That’s not the problem. Despite the fact that we miss her, it was somewhat expected. She very graciously passed away on the hardwood floor creating a minimum of mess. She always was considerate.

My problem is that I strained my lower back burying her in the backyard. It was damn hard digging the hole. (On a side note - how do people bury corpses in the woods. My daughter said that is the genesis of henchmen) I’m now not certain if she’s buried deep enough and the local wildlife will dig her up and do unspeakable things with her. I worry about this but at the same time, I’m somewhat reluctant to start foraging around to find her shroud wrapped corpse to bury her deeper.

What would a T-man do?

LOL.

I like your new avatar. I can’t do overhead squats. (Well, I guess I can, but they bother my shoulders… maybe I’ll give them a try tonight).

The cat has probably started to decay.

Was it a T-Cat?

I have a 15-year old kitty…I always just kinda figured he would leave one day and never come back.

That being said, you can try placing stones on top to make digging her up more trouble than it’s worth.

Peeing on her grave will mark her as your territory, as well. I know, it sounds like a classic sign of disrespect, but it’s the thought behind it that counts.

You know, I’ve now got this image in my head of ouroboro digging up a dead cat in the middle of the night so that she can pee on it.

Sorry about your cat though. I had an old one die last fall, and it really did suck.

(Even though she was really annoying).

Looks like a snatch to me…

I lol’d at this.

I am, however, sorry for your loss.

Put her in a sealed plastic bag, that way nothing can smell her. It might be easier to cover the area with stones though, big-ish ones…

I guess you could do what was suggested and pee on her grave… you would have to make sure you ate alot of meat first…

It is a snatch. I thought everyone would appreciate a snatch shot.

Everyone has been very kind. I’m kind of leaning toward digging her up at midnight and peeing on her. Not only effective, but it will upset my anal retentive neighbour…so win/win.

If he doesn’t mind his p’s and q’s, I’m going to park a 400lb tire in the front yard.

If I may say so, your snatch looks great.

Awww, I’m sorry for your loss.

When our pets go, we’re going to have them cremated.

Planning on cloning the dog tho - she kicks ass.

11

Damn, I love cats.

I would build a stone cairn on the grave.

12

Sorry for your loss.

The little critters grow on you.

If your back will allow you, go and get some smallish stones and cover the site with them.

Anyone who mocks your grief at the loss of a companion for 19 years would be a piece of trash that I don’t believe you will encounter here.

Well, it’s sort of hard to tell… overhead squat vs. snatch… from that angle that is.

What were we talking about?

Push tells me that for this to be an effective method, you must do the digging naked.

I had my cat cremated, and felt guilty for that as well… and I didn’t even like the cat very much… and I felt guilty about that.

We’re discussing her snatch.
