I find this absolutely appalling. I don't understand anyone who would want to do this to their "beloved" pet. I thought people who stuff their pets were odd, but this is just horrifying. The poor thing is stretched out, flying around with a terrified look on its face-permanently. Why can't he let it rest in peace. This is so sad

I intend to be taxidermied standing with a raised finger and a stern look on my face. Thn each of my kids will have tostand me in their living room for 73 days of the year before passing me on to the next one and so on. My will will tie this obligation to their inheritance. They can put propellers on meif they want, but no using me as a coat rack.


He needs to put a vertical proulsion mechanism and steering on that cat, then he can fly it into people's open windows, or cruise through a shopping mall. Kind of like the air swimmers you can buy at museum gift shops, only a dead cat in place of a shark or goldfish.

It is very odd and I did find it disturbing.

On the flipside, I do believe that that body is merely the box we came. Once we are dead, the body is an empty vessel and our spirit flies free. I guess the cat's body now has a chance to fly with the spirit. I just wish it were in a less freakish pose.
