the lovely wife called me at work last night around 7 to inform me that Noodle, our youngest cat, had been killed by a car in front of the house. he was my daughter's 6th birthday present last june, and freakishly snuggly and nice. now i know he shouldnt have been outside...but i suggest anyone have 3 cats and 4 kids and try keeping them inside all the time. it just aint happening. so yeah my daughter cried herself to sleep last night and is all sorts of bummed out. and so am i. the problem is this: he's in a box on the front porch right now and i am unsure what to do. it's cold outside and the area we live in is extremely rocky. i just spent 20 minutes in the backyard attempting to dig a hole in several locations, and to no avail. it IS technically cold enough i could wrap the box in a few trash bags and just throw him in the outside bins...BUT. trash pickup isnt until thursday morning and well that is just kinda nasty.(not to mention the girlchild will probably find it grossly insensitive.) i was also pondering some sort of cool viking style funeral pyre, but that probably requires permits of some sort. any suggestions would be welcomed. my next oldest cat, who was his cuddling/cleaning partner has been walking around the house meowing and searching for him all morning.![]()
