I picked up Chris’s ashes from the vet today. I wanted to show you, so I took everything out and set it on a cat perch to take pictures.
Frankie jumped onto the perch, so I quickly put everything back in the bag before he knocked it on the floor. He was surprisingly curious about what was in the bag. It was almost as if he could smell Chris or somehow sense it was him. I don’t know.
This is the first time we have ever received the ashes from one of our pets. I plan on bringing him to our house in West Virginia when we go there in the spring. We have a fairly large backyard. I think that would be a good place to spread his ashes.
Bad Cat Chris 
hugs to you… we ate glad he is back at home… but this moment is a hard one…..
Yes. He’s here but he’s not here.
I am glad he is home. It is so good when they are home but so difficult.
Thanks.
I’m glad Chris is back home. ❤
Thanks.
Such a bittersweet moment.
Frankie surely did feel Chris’s presence, somehow. That happened to me a couple of times when I brought home the cremains of a couple of my pets.
I wonder if their smell somehow remains.
Oh I think they know……I definitely think they know. I think that pretty back yard in W. Virginia is a nice spot for a little memory garden.
Hugs, Pam
Chris loved lying on the patio there.
I remember that…….
Pam
Good times.
That’s always a hard thing to do. I’ve always been glad they are home but sad that they are not really there in the furs.
When we brought Angel Ellie’s ashes home her sister would sleep next to her urn all the time.
I wonder if they know.
We are sure that Frankie knew that was somehow Chris.
It is possible.
It’s a profound experience.
Yes, it is
I think Frankie was paying his respects.
It seemed that way
Lovely container & bag. My pooh has a lovely wooden box & green velvet bag.
Are Frankie & Floki meowing for Chris?
I think Floki misses Chris but he isn’t vocal about it.
Goodness…
Hugs to Frankie, he gets it. That’s a really difficult homecoming.
Thanks. It really is.
Poor Frankie. He misses his buddy. That looks like a beautiful place to put him.
He enjoyed it when we were there.
Frankie saying goodbye to his furiend.
That might be what he’s doing.
Kitties know things. I bet he could sense those were Chris’s ashes.
I am sure that Chris will enjoy being spread in the yard. It’s a lovely place for him.
Offer hugs and purrs and love. It’s so hard to lose our precious fur friends.
Thanks so much.
Our pets know a lot more than we think.
I’m sure you are right.
I do think Frankie knew. Cats have a sixth sense for things. I would spread Chris’s ashes wherever he was happiest. I have Cody’s ashes in a special thing on our cat tree in the living room (because that was his favorite spot)
I think Chris was happy everywhere but I don’t want to put him here because I’m not sure we won’t sell this house in a year or two.
Catching up … I know whenever we lose one, the quiet they leave behind is deafening. When we lost Midnight in May, that was hard since we would be leaving the following week. We carried that quiet with us. With our vet, we have the option to have a pawprint impression (which is free). So, we have pawprints of Egypt, Tuxie, Maxie and now Midnight. She had sharp nails, so we have a good impression of Midnight’s front paws. Egypt had sharp nails too, and she left a deep impression of her nails.
Our deepest condolences on the loss of your boy. Chris was a good, good boy to have.
Chris was the best. Thank you.
