Dia de Mu***os is a traditional Mexican celebration honoring loved ones who have passed and welcoming their spirits back to this world. Over the past few years, it has expanded to include celebrations of pets who have died. October 27th is the day that our pets return to visit us in the expanded tradition.
I’ll add a link to an article with more information about the traditional celebration of Dia de Mu***os and how it expanded to pets in my story, but typically it includes creating an altar called an ofrenda to help guide spirits back to this world. For cats, include a favorite toy, food, a bowl of water, and a special photo of your cat. Maybe try sprinkling some catnip or silver vine nearby, too.
I happen to already have a memorial set up, but I’ll be adding to it today for Zoloft. You know he’ll have a Churu waiting for him. 💚
