Alas, poor Mr. Fluffins
While we imagine that most pets would rather achieve immortality through not dying, the majority that do achieve an afterlife do through loyal works. For the modern pet-lover, a multiplicity of options exist, both elaborate (with the obligatory caveat emptor), to twists on the traditional backyard internment. For the more modernist, advanced taxidermy provides a couture option, as does converting them into jewelry. For the truly avant-garde, Cattelan or Hirst may be available for commission. The more traditionally-minded can opt for mummification; while this service is available from professionals, it is also within the reach of the dedicated amateur. Cloning may be viable, but the only US Company doing it is currently in an IP war with their competitors in Korea, and at this time, the best bet may be to just hold onto the goods until the dust settles. Alternatively, there's alway cryonics.
