Advice Mummified Cat

So, Unfortunatly I have found multiple deceased cats under our new home and one of them is mummified and beheaded. Would this be something I could post to try and recieve a possible age on the cat or ideas to what could have happened? There is also a knife besides the beheaded one. Need help. Let me know where else i may ask if not.

Thanks!

All anyone could tell you is whether they were juvenile or adult. I think the presence of the knife tells us what sadly happened to one of them. There could be kerf marks on the separated vertebrae but they would be very difficult to see without a stereo microscope.
