If a cat dies in the city, it can be handled by professionals. If the cat died from a serious illness and its body carries a virus, it needs to be handled by a veterinarian, so the owner won't see the body. Alternatively, it can be handed over to an animal control center, which will handle the cat's body in a harmless manner. Some cities have pet carcass disposal centers, which can also be used. A cat can also be taxidermed. After death, a cat can be taken to a specialized pet taxidermy shop, where some bones are removed to create a specimen. This allows the owner to have a keepsake, a way to be with their pet in another form. If you have the financial means and truly cherish your pet, you can consider taxidermy. Pet taxidermy only preserves the skull, some skin, and leg bones; the rest of the body will be disinfected and disposed of.
