hi zacko (and everyone else) apologies if you found the image i posted offensive or in bad taste, this was not the responce i was aiming for. i myself was intreged by the discovery of the cat and also it's appearence and preservation. i shall leave the image where it is at the moment but if anybody else is offended i shall remove it. like i said before, i thought people would be interested in such a bizzare image. i do however find it very interesting that it would be this post that would cause the first negative reaction, after all there is a picture of a dead human body and a casket waiting to be buried. which some people may find more in "bad taste" than a mummifiedpetrified cat. apologies again n
