For anyone who has been the custodian of a cat, the joy of having a feline friend is boundless. Most would agree that although a cat can appear independent, nevertheless they are intensely loyal companions, with their own unique characteristics. They often have an uncanny sense of when you are going out and will be waiting ready for your homecoming.   Having shared a life together, the pain of loss with their passing can be overwhelming, with the depth of sadness that a family member has departed. Those who have never owned a pet may not appreciate the strength of the emotional support and the bond between you, leaving you feeling isolated with your grief. We each grieve in our own way and find different ways in which to cope, but many find that cat memorials are the perfect way to say goodbye when the time comes.

When these feelings soften, it can be extremely beneficial to consider what would be a fitting memorial. A customised dog urn can help you to remember your best friend and to move on from grieving to loving remembrance.

Urns for dog ashes can be breed-specific and many memorials in the Pets Remembered product range can include an inscription with your personal message or a pho...
