Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

There is no dua or any recitation to be made when burying the cat.

However, the death of the cat should be a reminder of our death. We should be conscious of our death at all times. That will grant us the tawfeeq to

1.       Make Tawba.

2.       Be content with whatever we have.

3.       Exert ourselves in Ibadat to prepare for life after death.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

Wassalamu Alaykum
