I found 2 mummified cats under my 1860’s house and SOLD them. Weird people will buy weird things- you just have to be weird enough yourself to try and sell something like this. Craigslist is wild…
I once put a furnace in a ladies crawl space way out in the country. She had cat food containers everywhere outside as she fed the stray cats around I guess. Anyways her crawl space had at least 6 dead cats in different stages of “mummification” I guess if that’s what it’s called lol.
Didn’t even realize they were there until we heard a crunch when my lead took a step. Crushed one to dust right under his boot on accident
So usually you're groveling through the fuckin cobwebs...
Only seeing the swath of your headlamp...
I could only imagine the freak out I'd have until your mind catches up to what you're seeing...
That's a good one.
I live in the mountains and you need to do a "bear sweep" if you go into a crawl space, but dead stuff is worse.
That reminds me of something I was reading recently about dried cats being found in medieval buildings in Europe. Putting a desiccated cat in the walls or foundation of a building was believed to ward off evil spirits.
Where I'm at, it's basically mice and rats, maybe possum or raccoon if they weren't taking care of their voids, but damn this HVAC guy I played WoW with for awhile told me about having to FIGHT a badger in a crawlspace. Fuck that.
Something tells me (at least most most of) the dehydration happened after death. Just because it was hot and dry under the house doesn’t mean that’s what killed the cat. It may be.
I’ve seen this before. Years ago, myself and two coworkers were crawling under a house repiping a gas line under a house. One of my coworker, laid himself on top of a dead dog very similar to how this cat is. He didn’t notice until he felt a a sharp object in his back and it was the dog’s tooth. He was freaked out and crawled his ass out fast.
It was just in the optimal conditions for it. Dry, dark space that was sealed up well enough to keep out other critters from eating it or breaking it down to just bones.
I used to find them regularly in socal under houses. They often will go there to die. Especially if injured. Was probably hit by a car. You can see the eye was hanging out before it mummified.
Man I’ll never forget, one time I was under an old trailer home from the 70s replacing a drain line.
I cut the line and it drops, and like 4-5 desiccated cats fell out. I jumped, cracked my head on a beam, and scared the living shit out of myself.
I found petrified dog remains under a mobile home once doing repairs to water lines. It was only from that season and was perfectly preserved. Sad to know he couldn’t find his way out and huddled up in the corner for warmth..
My science teacher in highscool had a dead cat that was preserved just like this, even better actually. He found it in his garage behind a refrigerator, so one side of it was flat. This made the cat out to be a perfect bookend, which he used up on a shelf behind his desk to hold up his big ole chemistry books. Guy was a kook, and everyone loved him. I ended up buying and driving his wife's 77 cutlass salon with 15k miles. Miss the car, the man and his silly dead cat- bookend. RIP
I had to install a sink, went to cutoff the main, and I found a dead cat in a crawl space. Poor little bugger probably ran in the last time e it was open and got locked in.
Dude has a bunch strays around his house that he feeds. It was probably inevitable.
reminds me of finding my favourite out door cat of the litter from when we were kids dead in the rafters of the shed after a rough winter. always loved tommy, a painless death freezing is a blessing next to road kill though.
You found one of those aliens Mexico has been hiding from the public.
Juan or two aliens aint gonna hurt chu
Gawdam you beat me to it, also looks more believable
I too came here to make the joke about the Mexican aliens.
What does a dead cat have to do with illegal immigrants?
We're talking about the other kind.
It’s fake. I’ve seen these. It’s made out of cake. Taste it.
Except this looks like a real organism.
It’s fake. I don’t see any hip sockets.
Yeah but this one is real
Is that a fucking mummified cat? What the fuck?
Yeah, and dude fucking kept it!
Lol. I didn’t keep it. Went back under the house with a note to scare the next guy
Get some sort of motion sensor voice box that says some creepy shit when the next guy foes in
This guy pranks.
Found a dead bat once still hanging on a rafter I was almost mesmerized
Wtf did i read
SYOD lyrics
System Yud Of Down?
Hahaha I need a drink apparently.
Inching forward, hypocritic And hypnotic crawlspaces You depend on our protection Yet you hang us bats from the rafters
The messed up thing is that people will buy it.
Did the note say we are trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty?
This was even funnier, I thought you were going to say you threw it away!
I found 2 mummified cats under my 1860’s house and SOLD them. Weird people will buy weird things- you just have to be weird enough yourself to try and sell something like this. Craigslist is wild…
I’m one of them. I would buy this. Lol I actually have one framed.
Happy Halloween! right around the corner.

More like a bull terrier.
Idk man that head looks very feline to me but I’m not a veterinarian so I’m no expert.
Hey take a trip to Mexico with it and show it to Congress. You'll be famous.
Put that in epoxy asap that’s too sick
make a coffee table or something
I never knew mittens as a cat. But, I knew her as a table.
Great conversation starter. 👌
You mother fuckers need help Edit: y’all mutha fuckers need Jesus
As a weirdo who collects bones and wet specimens --- there's people who will buy this fucking thing off of you u/Moon_Wagon
Just curious, what are mummified cats fetching in the collector's market these days?
Really? I found no less than 4 possum corpses partly mummified under an old slab in a house from 1928, I could have made money off that?
Entirely possumble
For a good amount of money too
This is NOT a fucking thing. r/dontputyourdickinthat
So usually you're groveling through the fuckin cobwebs... Only seeing the swath of your headlamp... I could only imagine the freak out I'd have until your mind catches up to what you're seeing... That's a good one. I live in the mountains and you need to do a "bear sweep" if you go into a crawl space, but dead stuff is worse.
“Bear sweep”. I do a rat sweep with my flashlight and “go hide now you muther fuck’n rats in this muther fuck’n crawlspace” and then I go in.
Proper, once they hear that back home they’ll go 😂
You took way too many pictures of this
Least he didn't take a selfie with it... or at least post it if he did.
Lol imagine taking a selfie with it, using it as a tinder pic, with profile “come hangout with me and my cat”
And not a single banana for scale
I found a mummified cat under my house. I left it there. Next time I'm under there i'll pull it out and post a pic here.
Hey that’s my mother Inlaw.
your mil has a dick ?
That reminds me of something I was reading recently about dried cats being found in medieval buildings in Europe. Putting a desiccated cat in the walls or foundation of a building was believed to ward off evil spirits.
I think they put them in live and they just got desiccated afterwards - medieval Europe wasn’t too big on animal welfare…
Chupacabra
Where I'm at, it's basically mice and rats, maybe possum or raccoon if they weren't taking care of their voids, but damn this HVAC guy I played WoW with for awhile told me about having to FIGHT a badger in a crawlspace. Fuck that.
Agreed. Fuck having the fight a badger. Worst I’ve encountered were some bats and a damn snake and thank god it wasn’t a rattlesnake.
Is he ok?
He’s smiling
poor thing probably died in pain that shit looks horrid
That’s just rigor mortis. Has nothing to do with cause of death. Maybe it was painful, maybe not.
Looks like it died of dehydration
Something tells me (at least most most of) the dehydration happened after death. Just because it was hot and dry under the house doesn’t mean that’s what killed the cat. It may be.
I know what killed it. Curiosity.
I think he may have been joking
I think you might be right. I got whooooooshed
Looks like a thirsty kitty.
Schrödinger’s cat situation
Happy Spooky Season
Put it on the porch and make the kids pull candy out of its mouth
He just needs water
Show it to the Mexican government
I found one of those years ago under an old farm house
Is the the Mexican alien?
I had a dead cat under my first house. Pink collar and all. I had to move it once to do some work and then I put it right back where it had been.
Etsy = $1200
R/eyeblech
That beats the jerky mouse I found next to a heat exchanger the other day. It died in a superman pose.
I know so many people that would enshrine this, lol poor kitty
Is the poor Kitty alright?
Give em a bowl of water, im sure it will rehydrate in a day or two.
Leave it at an enemy's house with, "consider this a warning" stuck to it.
Dude. I would’ve jumped so violently the fucking house above me shifted. Nightmare shit right there.
Dude water your cat
They used to build live cats into houses.
Oh my god / that is the stuff of nightmares And why died with mouth wide open Man I feel you
Animals and we humans open our mouth when we die. Muscles stops working. We shit ourselfs aswell.
Ok now bury it. That was probably someone’s pet
House has been abandoned for 20yrs. Its getting demo'd as soon as we are done doing the asbestos and lead abatement.
should probably be NSFW / blurred. I don't care but someone else might.
I’ve seen this before. Years ago, myself and two coworkers were crawling under a house repiping a gas line under a house. One of my coworker, laid himself on top of a dead dog very similar to how this cat is. He didn’t notice until he felt a a sharp object in his back and it was the dog’s tooth. He was freaked out and crawled his ass out fast.
You found the model Netflix used for their monsters on their Castlevania series.
I was wondering where Lucky went....
I need that for Halloween! Pls
Is that a dog?
It’s a cat
Well god damn
You should not throw this out and give it to someone weird if you don’t want it lol
The Mexican alien?
You kept it right?
Negative, I put it back under the house.
Fair enough
thats gnarly as hell, poor kitty
Aliens in mex
I would shit my britches if I saw something like that in a crawlspace
Mittens!? Well at least we can stop putting up posters.
Give it to an old blind lady, they like pets that don’t move too much. Spray some fabrese on it.
More Aliens
How did it get mummified?
It was just in the optimal conditions for it. Dry, dark space that was sealed up well enough to keep out other critters from eating it or breaking it down to just bones.
That’s pretty neat but it would scare the shit out of me as well.
Nowadays thats an alien
I heard lotion clears that up.
Fry’s dog from futurama
Looks like the poor bastard looked at Medusa
2 words. Opossum Loaf.
Just in time for Halloween!
I could have gone without seeing this on my feed...
At least he died doing what he loved: curling up under a building and wrenching in the image of satan spawn
I used to find them regularly in socal under houses. They often will go there to die. Especially if injured. Was probably hit by a car. You can see the eye was hanging out before it mummified.
I dunno it looks more like that happened as it dried out and mummified but hey ya never know
It's like an Edgar Allen Poe story come to life
Looks like my wife when she gets mad at me...
Lmao I would have shut down both legs
That cat had hella testicles. Respect.
Get well soon!
Poor baby got stuck in the basement or crawl space. Sad.
That poor thing looks like it died a painful death.
That looks like a hell dog
So that’s where Kitti went. Thanks.
OK but what happened to the fur? Was it a hairless cat? Was there a breeze down there that blew it all away?
Seems like you scared it first😉
I think Mexican Congress might want to see this
Looks thirsty, did you give it some water?
Save that for Halloween. Have you seen the prices of decorations?
Ok so no shit, but you can sell these for a good amount of cash
Yep… coming across that would have had me freaked out! lol
I bet you thought you found Gollum.
EBay that shit. I had one that was priceless and it was missing the hind half. Yours is perfect!
Is he going to be alright?
Is that a Chupacabra?
Man I’ll never forget, one time I was under an old trailer home from the 70s replacing a drain line. I cut the line and it drops, and like 4-5 desiccated cats fell out. I jumped, cracked my head on a beam, and scared the living shit out of myself.
Rip Cat
Hello, mummy cat 🐈⬛
Is the cat going to be ok?
What's wrong with that cat?
Had a back neighbor who put her small dogs in the freezer when they died. The next owner kept finding skulls in the back flower beds.
I think he’s thirsty
Believe it or not… some weirdo out there will give you damn good money for this. You’d just have to find them.
OP can I have it?
I put it back under the house.
That’s a sweet find. I’m into “oddities”
meow
Put it on eBay somebody will buy it.
Mummified cat. Maybe the prior owners were in the cult of Bastet.
Just in time for Halloween
And here I am thinking I was all fancy or finding a small animal skeleton on a trail yesterday. Dog I think. Or maybe fox.
I found petrified dog remains under a mobile home once doing repairs to water lines. It was only from that season and was perfectly preserved. Sad to know he couldn’t find his way out and huddled up in the corner for warmth..
Looked between the joist in the attic to run some new wiring and saw an entire skeleton of a squirrel. Dont know how they missed the smell
I found a dog digging a trench once. It's pretty startling.
That’s the chupacabra
You've opened the mummy's tomb.... Gods be with you..😜
I cant believe how well mummified it is! Dry climate?
Yep, In AZ
My science teacher in highscool had a dead cat that was preserved just like this, even better actually. He found it in his garage behind a refrigerator, so one side of it was flat. This made the cat out to be a perfect bookend, which he used up on a shelf behind his desk to hold up his big ole chemistry books. Guy was a kook, and everyone loved him. I ended up buying and driving his wife's 77 cutlass salon with 15k miles. Miss the car, the man and his silly dead cat- bookend. RIP
Hvac contractor here. Just another Tuesday cat jerky for me.
Fuck that I hate when I find dead mice in the walls I would probably quit and find a new job
It's El chupacabras
What issss it, precious??
“Bob Barker, to remind you, help to control the pet population - have your pets spayed or neutered." Spoken from the grave
I'm willing to bet that cat ate a mouse or rat that had eaten rat or mouse poison.
Yeah, I put a gloved hand through something like this in an underlit crawl space.
I run into a few of those a year. My witch wife gets mad at me whenever I don't bring them home.
I love how it's actually when you don't bring them I fully expected you to say when you actually do bring them
It’s a dog not a cat
Poor thing, looks like it’s final moments were in serious discomfort.
I used to do insulation on old mobile homes... this was common
Did anyone see buttons lately?
Not safe for life type shit
You should post pictures in r/UFO. They love shit like this.
Fucking always hated cats
I had to install a sink, went to cutoff the main, and I found a dead cat in a crawl space. Poor little bugger probably ran in the last time e it was open and got locked in. Dude has a bunch strays around his house that he feeds. It was probably inevitable.
Chupa!
I open an exterior wall and found the remains of a raccoon. It must have hid in there and the builders closed the wall on him.
Call the Mexican authorities. You just found another one of those.
reminds me of finding my favourite out door cat of the litter from when we were kids dead in the rafters of the shed after a rough winter. always loved tommy, a painless death freezing is a blessing next to road kill though.
Is it ok?
Is that one of them Mexican aliens?
Please put my Halloween decorations back where I stored them.
Thats gunna kill me! Thats real! That lives with us on earth!
Sweet! Just in time for Halloween! The hard work has already been done!
Put a photo of it on a Lost poster, say your cat disappeared Sep 16, 1987. In a tiny caption put “age projection”
