A cat decided that our front lawn was to be its final resting place yesterday.
With my love's admonition, "Not in our trash can" ringing in my ears, I bagged it and deposited it in a commercial dumpster.
Is this the accepted way of dealing with such a situation?
Most of us have not had to deal with anything larger than a bird, skunk or possum, right?

I certainly hope c-n finally did something with THAT POOR CAT (you commie, feline-hating meanies....picking on the poor kitties!). I mean, it's been a week since the original post
It's a well known car-care tip that if you put a dead cat on the top of your freshly washed car the birds won't drop their business on it.

Zoom - that is cruel, crude and harsh .....
and in the worst example of modship I have to admit its hilariously funny
I apologize to whoever is offended but as Larry the Cable Guy says ... "don't car what ya say, now thet there's funny ..... "
I should be clear that my comments assume said dead cat was well and truly expired and/or generally flatish at the time the sign was erected ....
I can only imagine the mid that was drivin down the road, saw the dead cat, and then thought "wow, free cat, I should put up a sign...."
and then actually did ...
I like cats generally, most of em I know are cool, and the few that aren't make good sirens if you swing em by the tail [dodges incoming...
Obviously the work of a liberal. That's the problem with this country, nobody is willing to work hard and earn their dead cats.
Most communities have an Animal Control dept. for this. Though for a small animal like a cat (<13 lb) I'd just grab a shovel and bury it myself.

Makes sense to me. The rats and the seagulls at the dump gotta eat.
cn: Miss Mittens was alive and well in your front lawn when I left her. So, this is another cat you're talking about, right? Right? Is there anything you need to tell me?
Ok, I don't think this is possible, but just in case the feline you're referring to IS Miss Magnificent Mittens (and I'm sure it's not...right?!?), we have already pre-paid for a funeral and I have 50% down on the fur-lined casket.
But everything is ok, right? Right? Right?

I told you to keep her out of our yard.
If I told you once I told you a thousand times.
I even offered to buy you a box and some litter.
But would you listen?
Huh?
Nooooooooooooooooo....

Numb, as long as you slung the cat into the dumpster with the proper show of respect and reverence for the situation, you did the right thing.A cat decided that our front lawn was to be its final resting place yesterday.

I always wondered about that Dead Cat Bounce thing .....
Why didn't you just dig a hole in the yard and bury it!?
As a "Cat Mommy", I don't take kindly to just slingin' "the kids" in the trash or on some compost heap
(and before any of you start in on me, we had dogs before that....and we consider our animals to be part of/members of the family...so there!
I think you're beating a dead horse......err, cat.
Uh, nevermind.
You should have pinned a suicide note to it and called PETA demanding to know how they could have let the troubled feline fall thru the crack in their system.
A cat...
Not MY cat.

I've been avoiding this thread for fear it would make me upset. The man of many r's got ahold of me tonight and told me to come look at it.
We had some ferel cat croak off in our backyard a couple of years ago...We went the plastic bag and into the neighbor's trash can route....I say "we", I really mean my husband did the duty while I took a head count of the "furry children" in our household.
I have to say, this thread has made me laugh out loud a few times. JBaiza, loved the cartoons. You're a pretty sick pup but not quite to Zoomie's level yet!
I'd like to state for the record that I have a cat living in my home. The kids and wife love it. I am not overly fond of it, but I tolerate it, pay the vet bills, and I am not cruel to it. I feed it and water it. On occasion, I clean up the cat puke/hair balls too. I even sometimes pat it and stroke it....with my gentle hands...not with a baseball bat.
I would much rather have a German Shepherd. A German Shepherd is a proper dog and pet.
That's what I think.

Isn't there a book called: "101 Uses for a Dead Cat?"
Many years ago while driving in Hendricks County in freezing weather, someone hit a pooch and it did not survive. But there it was frozen stiff and "standing" along the side of the road in a snowbank.

Oh, hello Mrs. Premise.
Hello Mrs. Conclusion! Busy Day?
Busy? I just spent four hours buryin' the cat.
Four hours to bury a cat?
Yes, it wouldn't keep still, wrigglin' about and howlin'.
So it's not dead then.
No, but it's not at all a well cat. And being as we're going off on holiday I thought I'd just go ahead and bury it just to be on the safe side.
Quite right, you don't want to come back from Sorrento to a dead cat, do you?
Yes.
