Dehyrdrated Cat (b)
Dead Cat from the Front Porch of Rachael Gross and James Strum. (F. silvestris catus) White River Junction, Vermont. Formerly, perhaps, a dark colored cat. Found under a porch.
Overview
Not true mummies, our cats are merely dehydrated. Compare (a) to (b). Both appear to be sleeping. The dehydration in both instances, is due to the ingestion of commercially available rodenticide.
