    Yeah, just what I need when I’m grieving my dead cat. A bad pun. And oh, yeah, how long will I have to keep my dear departed Fluffy waiting around for my custom “Catsket” to be delivered before I can bury him?

      It’s important that the pun be emblazoned across the side of the casket, too.

      I think most cats would come back to haunt you if you buried them in anything less than a gold-inlaid sarcophagus, anyway.

I don’t care which side of the political aisle you’re on, living in FL I’ve had to put up with hateful political bullshit from everyone since June. It is literally filling my whole world with the most inane, boring nastiness (the worst kind of nastiness) in 30 second soundbites. There is no way my liver can survive the sustained state of blitzed-off-my-ass my brain needs to survive until the election.

    I wish I had this when I had to bury my little dog on the spot. We had to go with one of those large tupperware things you put your sweaters in. (What??? He was wrapped in a blanket!) Previously we saw where another animal had dug up someone else’s pet and had it all over the place. We figure if he was in a container, less likely for some other animal to smell and dig up (and less likely we would see various parts strewn around.) God that day was horrible and made no sense. We wouldn’t have had the box on hand though…

    Now I go with cremation. I have 2 fedex boxes in my garage that are really old, filled with ashes. In all fairness, one of them is not mine, but a good friend’s. DON’T JUDGE ME! Ok, fine. Judge away. :-)

    Every year for the past 6+ years we’ve had Peeve (the elderly lady’s cat that we absorbed when she moved to a nursing home and he’s 18+ years old) we think, “Oh, he won’t make it through this hot summer.”
    It’s getting to be winter again. Kitty, we love you, but COME ON! I’m not a cat hater, just don’t enjoy him peeing all over the basement.
    I nearly punched a lady in the cat food aisle when she told me her cat was 22. I had NO idea cats could live so long.
