Cremation Ashes

Sorry for your losses.
I have 2 cats buried in my back yard but I may move away someday and I don't want to bury another cat out there.
My cat Cubby [2009-2021] had to be put down the other day due to several health issues he had.
He was a great cat, very smart and a devoted lap cat.
When he was younger he'd grab his tail upside down on the cat tree.
I will pay the extra $50 to get his ashes back in a wooden box.
I loved him.

Thank you kind soul for giving him a good life. You did the best you could for him and got years out of enjoyment having him around. There is another "Cubby" somewhere waiting for his forever home with you. Go for it. Won't be long before you will be enjoying more cat nonsense. Regards
 
I miss every dog and horse I have owned they were my best friends. No I wouldn't want the ashes back because they are ashes. The animal is no more that a memory .
One of my neighbors had his dead poodle taxidermied He's a very strange guy. I must keep a close eye on him and his wife.
 
Had cats when growing up. Always thought it would be nice to have them mounted after they died so they would always be around. Parents never went for that idea.
See my above post. Norman Bates got started with taxidermy. First came random critters, then his mother. :p
 
I like idea of burying them under a shade tree. Its the circle of life thing the tree will benefit from the life like i did. Find a nice rock to mark the location
 
I paid an artist for this. It helps.

The rainbow bridge poem is also comforting.

I like the idea of using the ashes to make or incorporate into some kind of memorial that can be moved if you decide to move. Something like a small path stone or similar.
 
I recently got Felix back. He was my mom's and is now back at the ranch, resting under an oak tree in his favorite meadow. He may not care that he is there but we who knew him do.

Yes good choice. You’ll feel much better. Sorry for your loss.
 
I've read a couple of books about the funeral industry. They don't cremate humans individually so I kind of doubt they do that for pets
Don't know about other areas in st. louis it's one at a time. I've installed two cremators in the st. louis area. They would only fit one person. Not to say it was a little creepy working next to operating units.
 
I love animals.
I also love working ecosystems (the bear catches the salmon, the osprey eats the rabbit etc.)
I love what animals bring to humans and vice versa.
I totally agree with what MacManus99 said above.
I admire and respect the phenomena of retarded children "awakening" when put on horseback etc. (please don't tell me you don't know what I'm speaking of).
My family has always spent money on vets. In fact we're known to have long-lived, healthy animals.

I PERSONALLY have no use for the ashes thing. I make no fun of people who do.
I PERSONALLY would rather see any monies spent on cremations placed in the collection box at someone's house of worship.

Flame suit on (couldn't resist)

Thank you. I still have my cats Eva [pictured] and Shadow. They seem more affectionate since Cubby died.
I think they might have been a bit jealous of Cubby because he was in my lap so often.

I'll know after paying more for Cubby's ashes if I'd do it again or have his ashes buried with the ashes of other pets in a garden. So soon after losing him, I feared making the wrong decision, so I paid more just in case it was the best option in the long run. I love my cats when they're alive and if they don't outlive me I don't think I'd feel guilty about the way I treated them.

Did you really mean to make that assumption and post it?
Seriously, you made that assumption just based on the simple sentence I made this post about, without knowing anything more about me
I don't follow you? No assumptions made however.. just can't understand why someone would question the statement you made. $50 to a pet that gave companionship friendship laughter etc I wouldn't even care to process the dollar amount. I would want my friend back with me.
