wow, it's amazing how unclearly I am thinking right now. I guess I could do that, just don't wanna get in trouble
Man, I'm sorry toi hear your kitty passed while you were away. If it were me, I think a plastic bag for fluid leakage and an Ice chest would be sufficient to hold him until tomorrow. Maybe a cardboard box in the trunk of the car if it's cold enough.Originally posted by: kyparrish
My wife and I just got home from a trip to find our 2.5 year old cat dead(I'm completely shocked). Anyway, we live in an apartment complex (no yard to bury), the 24 hour vet won't take him to hold onto him till tomorrow, and the closest family is 2.5 hours away. My old roommate rents a house, and I think he'd let me bury the cat there (... paging saxophonoia), but don't want to put him in any weird position w/ his landlord.
What should I do?
Your original suggestion was cruel and uncalled for.Originally posted by: wobbuffet

Geez, it's a dead animal carcass. Stickit in a platic trash bag and throw it in the dumpster out back. We aren't talking about a human body. :roll:

would the SPCA take him tomorrow? I can't come to grips with tossing him in the dumpster with last week's trash.

I am not unfeeling when it comes to pets. I have disposed of the bodies of several beloved dogs I have enjoyed for many years. It's just a damn carcass, though. It doesn't know where its decaying flesh is and wouldn't care, any more than most people care about what happens to their bodies after they die.
If the OP is that sensitive then by all means preserve the body and spend a walletful on a formal burial at a pet cemetary. Each to his own.

Guys, I'm not going to like bury him. But, I'm not going to toss him in a dumpster where he'll get crushed either. I'm in between the 2 extremes. I mainly just want to know where to take him to be disposed of "properly." The ashes aren't going to sit on our mantle, but I'm not tossing him in w/ pizza boxes and stuff.
I guess either the SPCA or the local pet cremator guy can take him tomorrow. I'm guessing it shouldn't cost more than $50...? It's going to be 17 degrees here tonight, so he'll be fine in the plastic bag/towell/old VCR box outside on our porch tonight. I'll deal w/ it tomorrow. Thanks for all the suggestions, and wobbuffet, I don't hate you.
