MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Came out of the house this morning to find my cat dead next.
Ok, i dont have a garden to bury it in. What do i do with the body? Wheelie Bin?
River?
I honestly have no idea
Double bagged and bin. Or Pet Cemetary?
Most vets offer a cremation service.
I can see you're quite upset about it. Chin up fella.
Sorry to hear about your cat.
Your vet should be able to advise you on what to do next.

hahah, I had a Real Life™ chuckle at that 🙂
If it's not via the vet, I believe you contact your council.
Sorry chap.

Local park?
Ours went on the boiler (big old Russian coal burner), got a free hot shower out of it.
Best thing the cat ever did.
Since you're so cut up about it, can I recommend this.

There's a 101 uses for a dead cat............

bag it and bin it is what we've done in the past.
Kids (now 16 and 18) found out a wee while ago that their pets aren't buried up the hill opposite where they thought they were. apparently I'm heartless.
Its not that i didnt like 'cat', But i have a dog called Burt who is well nicer and not once has he killed a Robin on Christmas day to leave on the doorstep. Burt fetches sticks, Cat brought things in i didnt want. birds, mice etc.
Now i have to ring Mrs Fiola to explain why we're a family member down.
Found a dead can on the road outside our house once. Couldn't leave it there to be smeared all over the road so put it in a bin bag. Went looking for a quiet spot in the park to bury it but found nothing discreet enough. There was a vet a few doors down that was closed, best idea we could come up with was to leave it on their doorstep like some kind of threat.
As it happened there was someone inside anyway, she was very nice, took the bag and seemed to know what to do so presumably it wasn't the first time.
Some good pointers on here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=141&t=540886&mid=0&i=0&nmt=Theres+a+dead+cat+on+my+drive&mid=0 one of the alltime great PH topics 😀
BBQ?
Katsu curry?

Double bagged it and put it in the commercial waste probably.
When one of ours had to be put down at the vet, they wanted something around £20 for it to be cremated by a contracting company they used. I brought (frozen) kitty home and buried her in the garden.
If you're not sentimentally affected, double bagging and binning is the obvious choice.

Molgrips - never had you down as a minesweeper
A what?
Found a dead CAN
Minesweeping - the act of searching through other peoples unfinished alcoholic beverages in the hope of finding an unattended treasure for the consumption of the thrifty [i]minesweeper[/i]
Basically - a crap joke calling you a tramp.

Put it on freecycle?
P.S. Sorry for your loss
The people suggesting double-bagging the cat before dumping it in a bin: do you do the same with food waste? Say a bit of chicken that's past its use-by date?
I remember (when we had a Westie) I was driving to work and spotted a familiar looking sight- a westie) at the side of the road. I stopped, checked its collar for a number etc so rang my local vets.
Conversation - 'can you wrap it up and bring it down so we can scan it for a chip'
-err no.
in light of the post above.. try the food waste bin

Burt fetches sticks, Cat brought things in i didnt want.
What do you want sticks for?
Sticks are good for throwing?
i once saw a cat get run over in the street as me and my mate were walking back from the chippy eating chips and curry sauce. the poor lass driving was distraught and crying and had to be consoled by a passer by. the cat was still alive and whimpering but was totally beyond retrieval - back end totally squished with guts everywhere 😕 so some old geezer from a house opposite managed to get the girl to drive off saying he'll get the RSPCA out and when she'd gone he went off got his spade and gave a right good finishing off, scraped it up and lobbed it in his wheelie bin. didn't eat the rest of my chips...
If you live near a river or lake/pond then I suggest some sort of Viking send off, you could use some fireworks to liven it up a bit.
Alternatively, if you have some expanding foam and gaffer tape you could give DIY taxidermy a try for a permanent reminder of your beloved pet.
whatever you do, dont take it in a box to teh owners house and, when having a 7yr old kid answer show them said cat and ask 'have i killed your cat' and on seeing nodding kid give kid cat in box.
from experience its not nice for the kid especially as the kid wont know what to do with said cat and the mum will go ape when she finds it on teh kitchen worktop.
.......not a baby robin? On Christmas day......

What did you expect the vet to do? Go and collect it themselves to try and trace the owner? You'd have been better to phone the council street cleaning team.
I had a temp job in a clinical waste incinerator when I was 18. The big lift that winched trade waste bins up to the furnace had a sign declaring "All bins must be decanted to 250KG", and in marker pen "UNLESS IT'S A BIN FULL OF DEAD PETS"
Honestly the funniest thread I have read in a while, from start to finish.
Nach, the question is how many dead cats do you get to 250kg???
A friend of mine had a similar problem. He bagged it and dumped it in the trade waste bin behind his local Chinese restaurant.

...where it was later found by the owner of the Chinese restaurant, retrieved and turned into Peking Duck.
Chow meow, surely?
A lot of cat lovers on here I see, including the OP.....
Kitty con carne.
Kitty con carne! That's got me chuckling....
just get the vet to dispose of it and for gods sake don't put it the food waste bin.

Apparently 40. [url= http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=250KG%2Fweight+of+housecat ]It's science[/url]! I didn't have to empty those bins myself, because I was in the bit that dealt with the sanitary bins from women's loos, and sharps boxes. That was, apparently, the "cushy" job.
(It was mainly the dogs that pushed bins over the weight limit 🙁 )

Do you buy chicken with the blood and guts still in? Corpses - full of shit and gas and so on - are a bit more balloony and explodey than slaughtered, gutted, bled meat.
When I was a kid our cat got run over and whoever found it, not knowing who's it was, decided the best thing to do was lay it out on the war memorial at the end of the street. Later someone who knew it was ours discovered it and we got a knock at the door and when my dad answered he was very solemnly handed a flat, frozen cat.

MY brain read that as "flat, folded cat" like a flag.

Yeah those slack dogs and their weighty Super Pluses... 🙂
Put it in a box with a small radioactive mass, a geiger counter wired to a hammer, and a phial of poisonous gas.
Then simply relax in the knowledge that, while the box remains closed, the cat may be alive.
I'll have it, if the postage is paid.
Unless it's ginger.

I think you're suggesting the OP needs to drill some holes in it before it goes in the bin - correct?
How else would the goo come out?
OP,
No one came back to me with regards to my assistance with your dead cat disposal issues. Just letting you know at 4 days past DOD (date of death), it'll be no good to me, so I'll have to decline my offer to accommodate your deceased feline.
Hope all is well
Regards
John.
