Eating potatos grown from a dead cat

[dibbers006]

How many years after a cat has been dead and buried in the garden would you find it acceptable to grow potatoes over its location?

I was a little bit at the thought. Someone mentioned that they had grown flowers first but 6 years later they grew veg.

That's nasty right?

That's fking brilliant.

Quite clearly going to get Tiddle's head in with the potatoe harvest.

Got to get an award for top title,

I opened in anticipation not knowing what the thread was going to be about.

Consider the hundreds of thousands of dead animals that have become local fertiliser for just about everything you've ever eaten since you were born.

Your own cat? I wouldnt ever, get quite attached to moggies by the time they expire.

Was the cat called Pete?

[Nolar Dog]

I wouldn't grow anything where my pet was buried. Ever.


On a slightly related note I was asked by a friend to help her this weekend.
Her cat died 4 years ago and we buried him in a blanket in her garden.

She has just bought a new house and wanted him in the garden there, along with her other cat that died a few weeks ago...

So I exhumed his remains and moved them to the new place. To say it was not pleasant is an understatement but that's what friends are for.

I have nothing of value to add to this thread, other than "yes".

Did you flush it?

watch out when pulling the spuds out they could have growing in the skull and then out comes a potato brain in a skull

So not a second thought about tucking into the veg over Mr.Marmaduke...

Pussy that has potatoes growing in it is best avoided.

I would bury it elsewhere.

Exactly! I have had this with a mouse once. Pure bone though thankfully.

[trumpet 600]

So cats do have a use after all.

[GKP]

Not sure I'd like to dig the tatties up along with some of Tiddles. Get them plant an apple tree instead, that way you'll know if the cat has leached into the plant by the skull shaped fruit.

That would be awesome!

[Jasandjules]

I'm going to go with a No, I think the burial section of the garden is rather different to the vegetable patch section..........

Just wait 'til you dig up a potato that looks uncannily like a cat.
