My beloved kitty of sixteen years, Wilde, died almost three years ago. We buried her in the yard of this house that we have been renting for four years.
We are now in the process of looking to buy our "forever" home, which will be on the other side of the city (closer to my husband's work).
Do you think it would be O.K. to bring her body with us to our new house? I know the owner of this house will move the marker I have on her grave after we move, and I don't know how I could come visit with new tenants in the house.
I know rationally that it's her body, and not her, but I am comforted that her remains are nearby, and I visit and put flowers on her grave often.
Would it be a mistake to dig up her remains? She's buried about 18" deep, wrapped on one layer of linen.
Thanks in advance for your experiences and thoughts.
Cheers, from
