My cat had to be pts a couple of weeks ago. Although upset, I'm not devastated, it was for the best and saved her suffering. I'm not overly-emotional about it, though I do miss her.
She was a black cat, and I gave her a "witchy" name, as I did with a previous black cat, who was called Hecate. This one was called Lilith. I'm not a witch, I'm an atheist, but it amuses me to give black cats "witchy" names. I'm fairly sure it doesn't bother the cats any.
But I'm annoyed that the (lovely, and thoughtful) condolence card from the vet spelt her name Lillith.
And, on having received her cremains today, I'm even more narked that they included a "certificate of cremation" and an engraved urn, both spelt Lillith.
I have googled, and Lillith is not a common spelling of Lilith; I could have forgiven if it were.
It cost me £100 to have my very small cat supposedly individually cremated. (I have my doubts, but y'know...) Should I expect her name to be spelt correctly?
(I'm not proposing complaining, or insisting that the urn is re-engraved, btw. I'm not crying myself to sleep. But I am ever so slightly narked. They did so much to be "nice" about the death of my pet, but couldn't spell her name!)
