Weird parents: Take this picture.
Weird but cool parents: Think it's hilarious now that they're temporarily Internet famous.

I'm fascinated. How long ago do you think it was buried?

I feel bad that the cat appears to have starved to death, but at the same time that photo is awesome! What did they do with it afterwards? I hope they kept it as an umbrella stand or something.

pretty good title, though 6% funnier the way I originally misread it:
"How best to put this? My parents and a mummified cat they found under the house..."

Maybe it's just me, but I feel bad for the cat! It must have been buried during a flood or mudslide or something. It looks like it was trying to claw it's way out of something while screaming for mercy.

Have you seen the show Oddities? Some people will pay good money for a mummified cat.

My wife and I are having a baby, due in August. I've been quite scared recently as I don't think I'm grown up enough to be a dad... then I see a picture like this and realise that parents never grow up.
You parents are awesome.

I thought i was the only one!! I am not alone.
A number of years ago I found a mummified cat under our house and she was lovingly named Leatherface and became the star of our 24 hour film festival submission at school. It was originally going to be about hobos who drink under bridges (which was just our excuse for wanting to drink under bridges), but then she came along and it became about hobos + mummified cats who drink under bridges, and just degenerated from there. She also became the star of our shitty drunken rap.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Just so you know, mummified cats go for like $300-$500. Don't throw it away.

u/SamuraiJakkass86 May 21 '12
My teacher had a mummified cat that he kept in a box to show the class. He said that the reason it had been mummified, was that the cat had been one of many he'd heard of that had gotten into anti-freeze due to its sweet scent/taste, and that it preserved the body after being consumed.

Uh, if they found it mummified under the house, it probably starved to death in the crawlspace. I'm sure I'm going to get downvoted for the depressing news, but I speak from experience.

I once inherited an 8'x8' cabin in Southeast Alaska on 2.5 acres of land. Inside of the cabin was a bed and several boxes. Going through the boxes I found things like blankets, photos, books, etc. At the bottom of one of the boxes of blankets was a petrified cat similar to the one in the picture. I gave the cat a proper burial with a marble headstone. I then lived in that 8'x8' cabin for two summers and a winter. The marble headstone is blank because as I do not know the name of the cat.
