Pictures of cat paw prints1/14/2024 ![]() ![]() The couple decided they wanted to preserve Moxie’s skeleton, but instead of sending her out, Ace began the long process of maceration, in which soaking in repeated changes of water over the course of months separates the soft tissue from the bone, eventually leaving only bones behind. “He ultimately decided that the process was a better experience for him than the not knowing,” Ratcliff said, though that didn’t make it easy. When their cat Moxie died after a rapid and inexplicable illness, Ratcliff and their husband decided to perform a necropsy. Along with their veterinarian husband, they have seen a parade of pets over the years – a common phenomenon for veterinarians, who sometimes end up with animals surrendered to their clinics, many of which have significant health issues. I call up my colleague Ace Tilton Ratcliff, a former mortician and current artist and writer. Some pet guardians are even doing it for themselves – and not just in the time-honored tradition of backyard burial. But this diversity of choices reflects the different sentiments of pet owners, who have to make decisions for their companions while experiencing disenfranchised grief – the sense that a loss is undervalued or less important because it is a pet, even when it consumes their whole universe. Some of the most eccentric practices might make some feel uneasy – such as skull preservations, keeping fur in freezers or, perhaps most surprising of all, skeletal articulation. The memoirist Lilly Dancyger got a memorial tattoo of her beloved cat Lady. Randy Potts buried his dog Nancy under a rhododendron in February 2020, and “couldn’t bear to open the bag” the vet sent her home in. “M” keeps the ashes of her German shepherd inside a plush dog. Victoria Beverly has the cremated remains of her cat Reginald on a shelf, after being unable to attend his euthanasia because of pandemic restrictions. Spencer Hughes has his feline in his freezer, looking forward to the day he can afford to get her skeleton cleaned and articulated, or assembled. Lisa Egan, guardian to Betty, a spirited black cat and steadfast companion, had a memorial necklace made with her cat’s fur. If it doesn’t negatively affect you, it’s not your problem.” “In this space, we don’t judge when it comes to other people’s grief,” says Joslin Roth, founding owner of Resting Waters, a pet funeral home in Seattle that offers aquamation, a process that uses a solution of heat and lye to reduce remains to bone (it is also legal for human remains in a growing number of states).
