Should bodies be buried?

[Cainite]

Two years old? Dirty and black around the mouth? Yeah, it sounds like they might have poisoned your cat. D: Would it bother him? Nah, he's dead. He's gone back to infinity. He knows your pain. I'm sure he'll reincarnate into another fine creature's body. Rites of the body are for the living, not the dead. I'm sorry you lost your kitty that way, what kind of awful people poison a kitty for waiting by the elevator. Though I'd definitely keep my cats inside if I'm not around knowing that might have happened.

I dunno what I'll do when my dude (13) dies. I used to plan to try do a DIY soft taxidermy and turn him into a pillow but (shrug) I dunno for sure.

Sorry about your cat.

So the being that's dead, no longer cares about or is affected by how his body is being treated?
Thank god.

I myself would like to be burned and kept somewhere for my loved ones. and one day someone would cast the ashes into a landscape that's untouched by humanity.

and about bringing him home,
I already keep two cats inside. me and two other women help the cats in the neighborhood. they're many.. so we don't consider bringing them home for two reasons ;

The food my household cats eat is very expensive because of sanctions against our country and any new cat that I would bring would want to eat what they eat and I can't even afford this. the three of us cook several chickens with some rice+carrot+potato for the cats outside everyday. and take them to vet when they need medicine or treatment/surgery.
One of these women pays for most of this. I pay nothing and just help. they too can't bring more cats inside.

The other reason is that I dont want to steal their freedom. I think life outside is more interesting if they don't starve and getting the love and food we provide is enough.


There's another cat, we had to remove all his teeth except one or he would die.. he too is a very special cat.  I go seek him every night at least once. but he's not always there at his spot. I have to give him food that doesn't require chewing.  that's why i'm more concerned with him.
That and the suffering he has gone through that has made him evolve fast.
But he's adventrous and doesn't always show up where he knows I come looking for him. so I don't know if he would want to come home with me at all anyway.

Now that the weather is getting better, we're less worried about these children.
Creator bless you all.
