Dear Ronald!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment!
Pets indeed take us to a journey, even before they are issued this one-way ticket to paradise.
Tributing them as journey companions, done this way or the other, is always a payment of respect and honor. When they are gone, it’s an affirmation of the loss, of the emptiness they were fulfilling yesterday. But then again, we are always left with memories from the times when they were making our lives richer.
I hope your cats left many beautiful moments for you to cherish in your mind!
Love,
Ivan

An insight to the life (and death) of walking sticks, and at the same time of the (com)passion of Ivan Kralj.
When my late cats passed away, they all got an (individual) decent cremation at the local pet cemetery/cremation centre and they’re honoured at my home at a ‘memorial corner’ with photo’s and little artifacts, but this one way trip to paradise is the most intense and respectful tribute to a pet, I’ve ever read about.
Respect and love !
