How many cats are burried on your property?

[Lilyhoney]

I have 3.

#1 I found in the middle of the street, put it in my trunk, brought it home and burried it. (4 years ago)
#2 Is my husband's cat of 12 years Hellen that was killed by a dog. (3 yrs ago)
#3 Is my best friend of 14 years Meow Meow. (1 year ago)

1. 1 here and 1 in Oklahoma.

[progmom]

2. gosh, i don't know

we sure didn't bury any...

[Lilyhoney]

8. Well, I hope you never have to.

I love the little smilies dancin'.

3. No cats in our backyard, but two hamsters.

[DemGirl7]

4. I think about two, but my backyard is a regular pet cemetery...

besides the two cats I know that are burried in my backyard, there is a Guinea pig, about five hamsters, and countless numbers of birds. Hopefully My Mom won't burry my dog in the backyard, when he passes, I think she is going to keep his remains in an urn...he is just too special to be burried in the backyard.

5. A lot!

We have a pet cemetary, too. Stranger Kitty, several bunnies, a baby bird we found and did not survive until we could get it to a wildlife rehab center, a hamster, and my doggie was cremated so stays in the house with us.

We also buried some stray kitties we found alongside the road. I think it's only right that a poor creature who likely had a rough life have a final resting place NOT alongside a road to be picked apart by buzzards.

6. 3 of our cats, 1 little stray kitten that was run over

Our dog was 120lbs..so he was cremated and is with us inside. We've had several other animal funerals..most recently a nest of 4 baby bunnies that froze during the late spring snow. Several birds, fish, and a snail also rest in my flower garden.

7. 0...

[Floogeldy]

25. Oh . . .

. . . I'm sure we could make arrangements to change that little "0" statistic concerning the cat count in your yard.

Anybody else up for some stealth cat hunting? Choose your weapon!

12. 50,000

The former owner was a very sick man.

Just kidding. 0, we don't do cats

[swag]

13. at least one (who died under the back steps)

14. 1 in my backyard

Ginger - 16 years of age

[5thGenDemocrat]

15. Honestly? It must be over a hundred

But this has been the family house since April, 1961 (44 years and counting -- hard to believe). We've had dozens of pets -- mostly cats.
Old cats have died. Kittens were sickly or stillborn.
Some mews got sick or hit by a car.
One got stuck in the furnace ductwork several years ago and we found his remains when I replaced the furnace in 2001 (actually the furnace guy did, but I had to shovel Ugly Stinky Mew out of the duct and bury him).
Anyhow, we've been burying cats here since I was in kindergarten (I'm 48 now). The whole backyard and east side yard is a pet cemetery and I don't even remember the names of most of the critters.
Of course, I'm going to die here someday, too -- so it all equals out.

Who has survived two heart attacks and is not planning on going any time soon, though.

17. Sounds like they found a good place to rest.

[5thGenDemocrat]

27. Thank you

I have seven cats right now -- Ginger, Fred, Abu (Boo Mew), Minnie, Frankie, Slurpie and Baby Girl. I think Fred had a stroke a few days ago -- his one leg is paralyzed, but he doesn't seem to be in pain and there's no swelling. He isn't showing any signs of stress about it, other than he's miffed it doesn't work. And he's functioning just fine.
I can't afford health care for myself, so what can I do? If he was in pain, I'd have him put down -- but, as it is, I guess we just ride it out together and hope I'm not digging another hole in the near future.
John
Fred is 11 years old. We're kind of facing our mortality together, which is (I guess) as it should be.

33. There is a book called Waiting For My Cat To Die.

About a woman and a cat dealing with their illness.

I wish you all well.

16. One On My Window

Pete was cremated, and I still don't know what to do with his ashes, so they still sit in the wooden box they came back from the crematorium in on the front window.

Lily's and Ramona's ashes are in the crematorium's memorial field.

Sourpuss, Mrs Meow, Emily, Gloria, Kuble, Felix, Annabelle, Queenie Mae, Fat Head, Dr Winston O'Boogie, Mushmouth and others I can't remember right now are buried in my mother's backyard.

[Lilyhoney]

20. Press them into diamonds.

There is a company that will take the ashes of your loved ones and press them into diamonds. It cost like 8grand to have the minimun 2 stones at 1/4 karat each.

[leftofthedial]

18. all of them

I put up signs, but I guess the little shits can't read.

[Hissyspit]

19. 5 ...all pets, all buried and had something planted over them or marked

with a decorative stone.

Kiwi I buried next to a cedar seedling about 6 years ago and that tree is now 15 feet tall, so part of her is part of that tree. Weenie I just buried a few months ago and have planted a crape myrtle and dogwood over her.

[Lilyhoney]

21. I used my Dremmel to carve their names in marble.

The stupid friggin lawn guy ran one over while mowing the flowers.
Yes, the flowers.

[Hissyspit]

24. Jeez...

Lawn Care 101: Don't mow down the flowers!
:7

[Lilyhoney]

28. Or grave markers.

[Hissyspit]

34. Yes, that too!

[bettyellen]

23. about nine or ten.

gosh i have to dig up the old rose bush soon. uh oh.

[WCGreen]

26. Gizmo's here with me in the office

in a box....

All the other cats we have had we either gave away or they took off...

I forgot, we had to put down one. We found her as a stray down in the alleys of OSU. She was just too wild. We tried, The vet tried and in the end, he suggested we put her down. Hardest thing I ever did....

[Lilyhoney]

30. The vet is on the corner

and helped for about a year to make my kitty better. When it came time the vet came over and put her to sleep on our couch. I t was so tough to decide to let her go.

[WCGreen]

31. I know....

I found Gizmo on the bathroom floor....

He had been with me for over 15 years, longest I ever had a pet....

We knew he was sick but there wasn't anythng we could do....

That night, he was sleeping with me, he started biting at my toe, I nudged him, he jumped off the bed and I went back to sleep...

Woke up and there he was.....

Sniff Sniff.....

Tabby Persian Mix.....

29. One cat, a bunny and a gerbil in our back yard. n/t

[Champ]

32. 1

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

35. 3.

The late lamented Charles, then there's Snowflake, and a stray who got run over. There's a little monument, too -- a terra cotta cat.

[darkism]

36. If I could ask Bill Frist ONE question...

...it would be this one. :silly:

[Throckmorton]

37. Two, to my knowledge,

Actually one Cat (Bobber) that just died one night 8 years ago. The other one (China Blue Eyes) was cremated first, as was Matty, the wonder cat, who was buried with April last Spring.

Pal, the golden retreiver is still on my computer desk, but I think he will be sprinkled over April's grave, as he was her dog.

[Lilyhoney]

38. I love how animals take pets.

We still have Penelope who was Hellen the cat's cat. Every once in a while I see her laying on the other cats graves.
