Not sure where to put this..growse!

Ok my cat passed away a couple days ago (health reasons) and we barried her in the back yard. I had no where else to put her, i thought the hole was deep enough and put some rocks over it hoping to keep the dogs from trying anything. Low and behold yesterday they unbarried my poor kitty(RIP) and i had to re-burry her. Again this morning they did it again, i have 5 dogs so im not sure which, if not all, are doing it, the yard is huge so they have a ton of room to avoid the "grave" but they insist on doing it! They dont do anything to her, just completely un barry her. Its over 100 so the smell is ..horrific Crying

. I tried putting more rocks on top but does anyone have any other suggestions? Like i said its been over 100 and the ground is so dry its very difficult to dig any deeper. The hole rightnow is about 2 feet deep. These dogs must work super fast because i let them out to "go potty" and in after about 10 minutes, i thought i was doing a good job at keeping an eye on them but apparently not.

Sorry i know this is growse but any help is greatly appreciated.
When we want them to stop digging any other holes we put there .."poop" in it, should i try putting it ontop of the hole? ugh Crying

...

thanks

I know this sounds strange, but, put your cat in a plastic bag and seal it with duct tape, and then in a sealed Tuperware type container before you bury it. Then dig a hole deep enough (at least 3 feet) so that it will be difficult for the dogs to dig up.

Try putting a little fence around the area for a while so the dogs can't get to the cat and hopefully after a while they will forget about it.

Digg deeper. Like 6ft. and put the cat in a plastic bag.

thank you so much guys! I ended up digging the whole another 2 feet deeper and putting rocks on her so even if they dig that far they cant pull her out. I then burried her with dirt and put rocks ontop of the grave and its been a good 5 or so days since they even tried to dig. I have been keepinf a close eye on the dogs and everytime they sniff at it i tell them "no!" and they back away.
