Dead cat in yard: what do we do?
Our little cul-de-sac is like the neighborhood playground for feral cats, it seems, as well as all of the neighbor cats. I probably see 10 or so cats--different ones--run around our place every day.
At any rate, last week we discovered a dead cat in our side yard. The stench is everywhere and it's absolutely sickening. It's beginning to come around to the front door and it makes me want to vomit any time I get a whiff of it. We're wondering what we should do with the carcass; I personally don't want anyone to touch it or handle it even to throw it away in case it has a disease. Is this something animal control could or would deal with? Or perhaps it would be better if we just threw some dirt on it and left it for a while?
Any and all tips are appreciated, as this really has to be dealt with.
