What do I do? I found a dead cat.

Anyway, silly question, how do you bury a cat? I feel so sorry for the poor thing, I want to bury it under a pretty tree in my back yard. Do I put in in a bag and bury it?? I'm asking because I remember someone saying you can't bury cat's or dogs in bags??

martzfam27 replied: We found one out in the street not to long ago. We got a number from the yellow pages that picks up dead animals from the street. I dont know about your area but they didnt charge us since it didnt seem to belong to anyone. Or I would just put it in a trash bag and bury it

hawkshoe replied: I would just bury it by itself, not in a bag, that way mother nature could take care of the decomposition. Try to bury it deep to keep other animals away from it.

This is what my mom did with all of her dogs that died.

Thats sad

~Roo'sMama~ replied: When we burried my cat we put her in a small cardboard box - more compost-able than plastic. I just couldn't handle not putting her in anything.

luvbug00 replied: depends on where you live here it is against the law to bury a critter in your yard but people ( like us) still do it. don't forget at least 3 feet deep!

Nina J replied: Thanks everyone. I havn't buried it yet, but I'll just dig a hole and put it in it..I should say, DH will dig the hole for me
