Ragdoll Cat Forums

I don't know if others are like me, but when my soul cat Simon died, I had him cremated and have his ashes on my mantle in the family room area.

Yesterday, I had a visitor to my office at work and we got in a cat discussion. She talked about her "soul" cat and that she had his ashes also, and when she got the money she was going to have them made into a piece of diamond jewelry.

I couldn't resist, so I went online and googled to find about this.....here's a link to the one I'd want if I did it (blue diamond for Simon's blue eyes). Of course, if I did this, my husband would have me committed and I can't say I'd blame him....

I'm really missing a 'stunned' smiley because I'm sitting here in complete shock. Things like this exist? Wow

I always said I would keep my babies' ashes and once the day comes when I'll die, I want to be cremated too and our ashes scattered to the wind somewhere I like. So we'll be together riding the winds forever.

I think what is even more amazing is that people also do it with their spouse's , parent's or children's ashes

I just looked at that...wow..
yes, my husband would have me committed.

I must admit I have seen this before and Teresa, I think I may be siding with Jerry!!!!

I've known about it, but not the cost! I also believe that there are lockets that one can buy....

It's everyone's own choice and whatever makes them feel comfortable and heal. I have my 5 kits' ashes in cedar boxes on the top shelf of my computer desk. Their photos are in front of them...so it doesn't look strange or anything.

Teresa, for that much money, you could get an addition on your house and get more raggies!

O my Interesting idea - and if it's something that would appeal to someone: sure. Myself, I'm more of a believer of the soul and that the souls of the ones that I shared love with is above ashes, urns, coffins or diamonds. So the diamond would not mean much to me - but I can certainly understand that it could mean a lot to others,just not for me.

I have 2 of my 3 girls, Sheba and Heidi, buried in the garden in a quiet spot and Hannah, the last one to pass away, I had cremated and her ashes are buried with the other 2 and I have a lovely red Rose, called 'Remember Me' growing on the spot. I couldn't imagine having the ashes turned into jewelry, how could you be certain it WAS their ashes, anyway!
