View Full Version : What to do with a dead cat?
ok, this might start a few whimsical responses, but I have a dead cat in my back garden, and because its not on the street the council won't touch it (literally!), neither will the RSPCA. It has been suggested that I ask a neighbour to move it, but apart from not knowing them that well, how would you feel if your neighbour asked you to move a dead cat from their back garden? My sob story is that - aside from being a wimp - I have health problems which could well cause me difficulty if I attempted something like this. any suggestions, funny or otherwise would be most welcome.

Wait, wait, I know this one....................
Is it 'Anything you want - he's dead?' :)

Jimbob1989 08-03-2006, 15:11 Get someone to move it out on the street and the council will move it :huh:
Whatever you do - dont bury it in a plastic bag....we found a buried pet in our new garden in a black bag. Definitely not nice!
Maybe you can get a kind relative or neighbour to bury it for you - if you explain why you are unable to do it for yourself. Good luck.
diskoheaven 08-03-2006, 15:14 chickmonk & withnail, you are incredibly insensitive!
Can't you just stick it in your wheely bin ?
chickmonk 08-03-2006, 15:21 How did the cat die? :suspect:
Did curiosity kill the cat?
Or was it MURDER!!! :shocked: :suspect:

youwhatref 08-03-2006, 15:22 I just think you have to be sensible.
If it has a ID tag or you know where it has come from then locate the owner and let them deal with it. If it cant be ID'd then contact the RSPCA or the local Vets for advice stating it is not your cat.
If they wont help then you're on your own and you can either bury it, bin it or cremate it.

Eat it?
Take it/get someone else to take it to a vets? They should deal with it, plus they can see if it's microchipped, incase some poor person is sat at home waiting for their kitty :(

I was just thinking how awful some of you were being about, possibly, someones pet - but this did make me smile:blush:

Joking aside, I think like someone else suggested, maybe ask a friend or relative to move the poor thing.
Is this post suppose to make 1 of us come around and move it for you?

Re: Burying cats in gardens.
Just mentioned this thread to the wife and she says that it is now illegal to bury pets in gardens - council or private.
Her source? John Heath's funeral directors.
It seems that whilst she and her dad were down there prearranging his funeral details, the conversation went on to burying pets. She was told that ALL pet burials in other than alloted plots was now illegal. This, it seems, includes hamsters/rabbits/gerbils etc.:huh:
We already have about three hamsters, one rabbit, one dog, and about thirty assorted 'cat-catches' resting at peace within our garden.
Just to clarify the human remains aspect, you can now only bury one human on your property. :cool:

Hmm. I struggle to pick just ONE human!
But we have our cats buried in the garden, are they going to send us to prison for it? And more to the point, who's going to know? And what ARE you meant to do with them?

Haven't got a clue, just passing a message.

Alternatively, stand it up and use it as a croquet hoop

Or draught excluder. M&S sell them!
Internetowl 08-03-2006, 16:51 a bit stinky on warm days for a draught excluder - I really worry about you sometimes ;)
mega_monty 08-03-2006, 16:57 Take it to a taxidermist and have it stuffed, might make a nice ornament for your lounge
I found the answer - get the daughter's boyfriend to shift it so that he is in my good books. The thing had no ID and was a bit stiff :gag: but it is now no longer a problem. Many thanks for the 'advice' :thumbsup:
the cat was stiff, not the daughter's boyfriend by the way.....
leesv1000 08-03-2006, 22:09 eat it sure it would make a good curry
shoeshine 08-03-2006, 22:09 the cat was stiff, not the daughter's boyfriend by the way.....
Thanks for the clarification....it's whatever turns him on I suppose :hihi:
Don_Kiddick 09-03-2006, 06:16 Are you sure it's dead?
It might just be asleep - or pining for the fjórds...
Come on me beauty :hihi:
Don_Kiddick 09-03-2006, 07:12 :idea: idea!
Cut its head off, skin it & use the fur as a novelty #1-wood golf club cover :thumbsup:

F. Sidebottom 09-03-2006, 07:53 If there is enough room, swing it. I don't think it would mind.
Careful though - if it's been dead a while then its tail might come off.

OK, so the dead cat is no longer in your garden. But now please put your readers out of our misery......what did the daughter's boyfriend do with the body? :suspect:
Have you thought of writing a novel? - the suspense if gripping! :hihi:
