Pets buried in the garden.
Sorry, this isn't exactly a gardening question, but I imagine gardeners would have the best answer.
I buried our cat in the garden 6 years ago. Around 22 inches down, wrapped in a blanket.
Does anyone have any idea if there will still be any remains if I have to dig up that particular area again now?

there may also be some fur too. certainly when I accidentally dug up a rabbit 6 yrs after its demise there were bones and fur.

You will most likely find a few of the larger bones; skull, femur, thigh bones.

oh dear! might try to get some other brave soul to actually dig up what's there and I'll rebury. Strangely, I think I'd be fine if it was someone else's cat. Thanks for the info.

Depends what the blanket was made of, but I'd expect at least some fabric and bones.
