Burying your cat is a sensitive and emotional task. Begin by selecting a quiet, peaceful spot in your yard that is not prone to flooding. Dig a grave that is at least 3 feet deep, to prevent predators from uncovering it. Wrap your cat in a biodegradable material like a cotton towel or place it in a biodegradable box. Gently place your cat in the grave, then fill it with soil, tamping it down softly. You may wish to plant flowers or a tree as a living memorial. Remember to check local regulations to ensure home burials are allowed in your area.
