In some cultures, dried ("mummified") cats were concealed inside buildings as a form of good luck or apotropaic magic.

I just finished helping my parents move and during the cleaning up phase of the new house. We found this mummified cat under the house. A super cool find!

Been awhile since i got a new dead thing, so I’m excited to prepare this for display.
