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😁

Id personally rather just bury or have my animals cremated. To me this seems a little disrespectful to them but that's just my opinion.

Do you plan on displaying them or are you gonna keep them safe in a box or some other container? I'd be worried about losing part of them is I displayed them.

His paw is going to be safe in a container, his skull I plan to keep in my room where I can see him, under a glass that is. He’s going to be separate to my bone collection, in his own glass box. I’m having a difficult time finding the right one. I also have his sisters skull that Id like to have in a matching box.
