Hey James.

I think for some reason Cats and Humans have a strong bond unlike any other animals. I am 29 years old and I had a cat for 21 of those years, when she died I buried her in the garden and was very upset. I always knew where she was and sat beside her sometimes.

Even though you are left with an empty shell, bringing it home and burying it in the garden will give you a place to remember it. You can sit there and imagine it sitting on your lap. Sounds strange but many times I thought I felt her rubbing against me while I was sitting there.

I feel it will bring some closure to your pets death and you will never wonder where her body went.

Richie.
