How To Bury Your Pet At Home

When our cat dies, whether it dies of age, dies of disease or dies from being hit by a car, then as humans and good owners we need to bury the body. However, burying the body of a cat should not be done carelessly, especially on the body of our beloved cat.

In burying the cat that was hit, we should bury it humanely. Before burying a cat, we should do several stages, namely the pre-burial preparation stage, the burial stage, and the post-burial stage.

How To Bury Your Pet At Home

As explained above, there are 3 ways to bury a cat that was hit by a car or motorbike. The following is a detailed explanation of the 3 stages :

Procedures for Preparation Before Burying Cats

1. Apologize To The Owner

If here you are the person who hit the cat then you should apologize to the cat owner or provide compensation. Because for cat lovers, these cats are not only pets but are also considered as family members.

The purpose of apologizing here is so that you do not sin and also so that you are not prayed to harm by the cat owner. There are many cases where people who hit a cat do not apologize to the owner and don't even bury the cat that was hit by them, the crasher then gets into a traffic accident.

Whether this is a coincidence or not, or indeed this is because the cat's owner's prayer has been answered. But if you are a cat owner then you can skip this step.

2. Cleaning The Streets Where Cats Hit

Maybe in the community there is an opinion that cleaning up the spilled blood and dousing it with flowers is a way to get rid of bad luck or the reoccurrence of accidents in that place. But the purpose of cleaning the blood of cats on the streets is just to keep the roads clean of blood and so that the cat's spirit can be calm.

3. Collect The Scattered Limb of The Cat

If any part of the cat's body is scattered or detached from its limbs, we must collect it with the main body. This is done so that the limbs are not eaten by animals and we can bury the cat properly.

4. Wrap The Cat's Body In Cloth, Newspaper, Or Banana Leaves

Just like humans, the cat's body must be wrapped in cloth, banana leaves or newspapers. So that when he is buried, his body is not dirty or directly exposed to the ground and when the soil is piled on top of his head.

And packaging is also done to minimize the smell that the cat emits when its body has decomposed. Wrap all the limbs.

5. Dig A Grave Near Your Home Or Cat Owner

Dig a grave larger than your cat's body so that when he is put in the grave, his body does not bend because of the narrowness of the grave hole. And also make sure the location of the grave is far from wells or water sources so that later the well or water source does not smell bad.

Bury the cat in your house, property, or cat owner's house. So that later you don't worry that your cat's grave will be dismantled by someone else.

Cat Burial Procedures

To bury a cat only consists of a few steps. Here is a more complete explanation :

1. Make Sure The Grave Is Not Narrow And Watery

The grave hole must be about 40 cm deep to make it difficult for other animals to disassemble and make sure the cat's grave hole is not too tight so that when the cat is inserted its body does not bend. And make sure when entering the cat's body, the grave is not watery.

Because of course if we have a heart, we are reluctant to have our beloved cat buried in a puddle.

2. Drop The Ground Slowly

After putting the cat in his grave and you should close the grave hole. Then enter the soil slowly and press the soil so that the grave soil becomes solid. The soil is compacted with the intention that it is difficult for other animals to unload the soil, such as chickens or other animals.

Procedures After Burying Cats

Now for the procedure after burying the cat, there are only 2 ways, namely :

1. Pray for the Cat

You can pray for the cat after he is buried according to your respective religious prayers.

2. Mark the Cat's Grave with Wood or Stone

Cat graves need to be marked by sticking wood or placing stones on top of the grave. So that we can find out where the grave is and we can avoid walking or stepping over the grave.
