You need a container. A cardboard box, a sturdy plastic tote, or even a giant shoebox if your cat was a tiny champion. Line it with a soft towel or your favorite cozy blanket—the one your cat secretly loved more than you. Place them inside gently, like you’re tucking them into a very final, very weird bed.
Now, here’s the weird part: put them in the freezer. Yes, your refrigerator freezer. I know it sounds like a horror movie, but it’s actually the kindest, most practical step. It prevents decomp while you arrange cremation or burial. Just label the box with a huge, floppy note: "DEAD CAT. DO NOT EAT." Trust me, your roommate or partner will appreciate the warning. Nothing ruins a late-night ice cream run like grabbing a frozen Fluffington.
