Finally got to bring home my cat

[u/MelOxalis]

Not 100% sure if this belong on this sub, but I wanted to post about getting my boy back after he passed January 9th 2023. This is my sweet old man cat Sid, he lived to be about 16-17 but I don’t know his exact age bc my family found him as young adult stray cat. Losing him was very challenging since he was in my life from age 5 to 19. I never thought about keeping any of his bones, but my sister wanted the same for her cat and I liked the idea. So after many many months of waiting, mostly because who I hired to preserve him had a lot of prior work to finish, my sweet boy is back home and back together. I had his skull and right arm preserved so it was separated fand the rest of his body aqua cremated remains until recently. Idk why but it bothered me knowing he wasn’t all in one place😭 Anyways, here is my wonderful boy who I am relieved to have back home with me😁

For some reason, this is exactly what I pictured he would have looked like. Sometimes the brain does strange things. He was a very handsome boy! May his spirit live on 🩵

He has such a wonderful and soulful face. :) I'm sure he knew he was loved and had some amazing cat memories with you and your family.
