Hi, Melissa and Potpie here.
 
Regarding what to do with your pet after he or she passes away, one
nice (if somewhat uncommon) practice my family and i have picked
up is cremation. It's not that expensive, considering, and it's a bit
of an experience to go out and pick a container--usually a ceramic
jug, although one of our cats is now in a chubby little teapot--to
'keep' the ashes in. I know, I know, it sounds gruesome, in a way.
But I have the same feeling about burying my pet, and unless I had
a specific, special location I'd want to wait to bury them; cremating
them is the easiest way.
 
Drawers: Chris, Potpie can open almost *any* small drawer that's on
rollers. I'd suggest going to a hardware store and getting either
those roller-type closing apparati that they use in kitchen cabinets,
which might be invisible if you can install it right, or screwing
in clips on the outside of the drawers.  Best of luck; Potpie's stolen
various small things i never use out of the drawers she's gotten into :)
