Woman freeze dries her dead cat

[Catherine]

You read the title right. Her cat died and she couldn't bear to part with it, so she had the body freeze dried. She keeps the freeze dried cat on a shelf where she can see it and touch it.

I thought cloning a dead pet was the biggest possible denial of a pet's death. This takes it further. She has the actual dead cats body in her home. She touches it and talks to it. I can't even think of what to say about this. I know grieving can take many forms, but this doesn't seem to be a healthy one.

I quite agree. The cat has moved on to another dimension and is no longer on earth. What this lady has had freeze dried is only an empty shell.

I think it is disrespectful to treat the cat's body like that. Let the body return to the earth as is natural, since the spirit has moved on.
How could she think the dried shell is anything like the beautiful cat she loved.
