go peacefully and quickly. 
I cleaned up the mess.
Cat vomit is nothing new when you have cats.
I had no idea he was sick.
Maybe all of the stupid fireworks being set-off did it?
I don't know. His brother Mr. Andy died last year in Feb. on Valentine's Day.
Damn! 
What a shitty way to start a new year! I hope the rest of your hear is hella better than that!
The vet wants $89 to bury him.
I don't know what to do.
He is a huge cat and I managed to put him in his carrier and it is out in the garage with him in it.
Rigor mortis had set in already when I found him.
The other cat I have is all upset. She doesn't know what happened to him.
They sort of had a love/hate relationship w/one another but in the end they did love one another.
I had three cats last year at this time, now just the one left.
I asked for help a couple of times and ewwww boy!
It was a rough go for me out there today and yes, I slipped a couple of times on the wet grass/soil out there.
I am still alive anyway, like it or not. 
Never prepared for death, never!
Picture of Silver and his brother Andreas.
This was abt. 2-1/2 years ago or so.
My late husband had adopted both of them in 2013.
They are once again together in a place where good kitties...all kitties go.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Kitties, well his brother is meeting him on rainbow bridge.
condolences to Silver, a pet is a very hard thing to loose. They leave pawprints on your heart.
What a horrible start for a year 
I'm old, sick and alone except for my other kitty Missy, the black cat. She is 8 years old now.
She is enough for me now.
I hope I will be around to see her for a long time and that I don't pass away myself.
I'll be redoing my estate plans now. They had a provision in it to care for Andreas and Silver in it and I found out that some of the people named in my estate plans aren't very what they seem to be.
Thanks for the thoughts however. For the most part, I agree that it is a good idea.
It is starting to rain outside.
There is a lot of rock in the yard and I got about 18" down. I put a large bath sheet in the hole I dug and he fit inside just right.
I have some Holy Water from Knock that is 40 years old. I sprinkled some of that on him along with a prayer. I hope it helped him and me.
It was rough going for a pushing 70 year old woman w/MS. The job is done now and if I need more soil to cover it up better, I have it.
I can see his grave from the bedroom window so he is still home where he always wanted to be.
Thank you everyone for your kind replies.
I'm so exhausted.
I need to eat and go to bed I think.
My other cat, my sweet black kitty is here with me. She seems upset.
We both are.
Thanks again everyone.

I'm so sorry that you had to go through the burial alone.
I'm positive that if someone on DU lived close to you that they could have helped you. I know I would have.
Rest in Paradise, Silver.
Death death death and alone alone alone.
My life is not what it could be. I need to work on getting things together!
Its a mess around here now, mud everyone from digging that grave in the rain.
Oh well, at least it is a done job and Silver is where he would want to be. 
RIP, Silver.Welcome to the Democratic Underground Michiblue! 
I'm in awe that you were able to bury him with your MS.
I hope you and your remaining cat bring comfort to each other.
I can barely move today after the burial.
It is raining hard today so had I not done it yesterday, I would have had to take him to the vet and have him buried elsewhere.
I don't know where I found the strength to do it but it is a done job.
Rest in Peace my Dear Silver. You were loved, greatly.
