A shrill wind whistled outside the window, as if telling the elegy of the impermanence of life. "A dead cat hangs on the head of a tree, and a dead dog abandons the water flows." This ancient proverb seems particularly profound at this moment.
People often think that this is nothing more than nonsense, but when you understand the scientific principles behind it, you will find that these ancient wisdoms are far from nonsense.
When a cat ends its nine lives and leaves deep remembrance in our hearts, we face a serious choice: how to deal with its remains?
Burial, a seemingly natural way, actually hides problems that cannot be ignored.
Burials may cause contamination of groundwater sources and soil.
When a cat's body decomposes in the soil, it releases various bacteria and viruses, especially if it is affected by diseases during its lifetime.
These pollutants may penetrate into the land, causing harm to the ecological environment, and are a potential threat to those silent land and water flows.
Therefore, environmental experts strongly recommend that this simple and short-sighted burial method be abandoned.
The remains of cats buried in the soil are easily excavated by other wild animals and even become their food.
This situation not only violates the final respect for the pet, but also breaks the calm ecological balance and causes other unexpected consequences.
We must also consider the harmony of neighborhood relations.
The body of love pets is buried nearby. Although it is of good intention, it may cause dissatisfaction and criticism among neighbors because of the odor emitted when the body is decomposed, and destroy the originally peaceful and harmonious community environment.
So, what should we do when facing the lost cat?
One feasible way is to contact professional pet funeral services. The pet cremation services they provide not only ensure the complete elimination of pathogens, but also allow you to place your pet's ashes at home without polluting the environment and causing unhappiness from others.
For economic considerations, or concerns about cremation, people may also consider placing their cat's remains in breathable woven bags and properly hang them on trees far away from the crowds and residential areas.
In this way, it not only respects the passing of life, but also avoids harm to the environment, and does not have to worry about interference from other animals.
In order to extend the time when cats are with us as much as possible, we should give them balanced nutrition and avoid a single or low-quality diet.
High-quality cat food, rich in necessary animal protein, is the key to their healthy growth. And, don’t forget to encourage cats to exercise properly.
Even without going out, games and entertainment at home can help cats stay energetic and healthy.
Ultimately, when we have to face the end of our lives, we may rethink: Can cats really be buried simply in the soil after they die?
Perhaps, we should have a deeper understanding of the meaning behind those ancient wisdoms and choose a more decent and responsible way of saying goodbye for our beloved partner.
