Stake attention in this memory
A desiccated, mummified domestic cat, dark brown-grey in color, lies preserved within a clear display case. The animal is stretched out, exhibiting an elongated form with visible rib structures, particularly on its torso, and has an open-mouthed skull with teeth and empty eye sockets. Straw-like material is scattered beneath and around its paws and tail, resting on white tissue paper lining the base of the case. A white informational label, positioned below the cat's midsection, states "Hidden beneath... The Mummified Cat" and details that it was "Found beneath the floor of a shop on The Cross" in Worcester, United Kingdom. The label explains its complete preservation due to "perfectly dry conditions, whiskers and all," and speculates its presence is either due to deliberate placement for warding off evil spirits or accidental trapping. The artifact is part of the Worcester City Collection.
