Some individuals view cats as aloof and independent, but for those of us who’ve owned one, we all know they could be just as loving and affectionate as dogs. A bond of a cat and its owner can be defined as that relating to losing that feline friend can be as painful as losing someone you care about. In the end of our friend’s life, we can be reminded how much of a gift life is-particularly the life of a pet-and then for some people, it makes us desire to pay tribute somehow, to show our appreciation for that joy our cat brought us in life. Some ideas for cat memorials could be:

*A pet graveside ceremony. This may consist of anything that brings meaning to those who’re saying good-bye-there are no rules. For a few, this type of memorial could be enough, but for others, it would not justify losing and the gratitude they feel.

*Cremation. A cat’s cremains can be either placed in an urn or scattered in a special place-again, perhaps, having a simple ceremony. For some, this brings more meaning than simple burial yet for a few, this is only a reminder of what’s lost.

* A custom-made piece of jewelry. One might not consider jewelry among the variety of cat memorials, but some people choose to place a portion of fur or ashes in to a locket, or perhaps to add a portion of the ash in a piece of glass jewelry. For a few, it is a center point of healing, permitting them to carry a visual memory of their special friend; but for others, again, it might increase grief.

*A box of memories. This box could be as simple as a small chest filled up with sentimental reminders, or might be designed for display containing the pet’s favorite toy or even a clipping of fur. Some might find this helpful, but others may feel it is just extending the grieving process.

Another creative means of give memorials to your pet cat is including its remains in a piece of artwork. This is why the appropriate artwork can bring joy and inspiration reminding us of life although some other visual points of interest emphasize death. Quite literally, one artist has had this for certain through creating a series of limited-edition heart-themed prints personally designed to draw honor to your pets. The cat’s ashes or fur is what the artist is required to final coat the hand-finished print making each element a real original. The print is discreet and suitable for public display due to its museum-quality giclee print. For some people, this sort of action may be the best choice among the options for cat memorials, since it can serve as an expression of gratitude for the life of that special friend-and helps heal the grief along the way.
