Remembering our deceased pets is something that seems so natural and a part of the grieving process. A link of hair or a little toy is usually the route people take when commemorating a pet who has moved on, but one woman decided to take it to a different level.
Instead of grabbing something small to remember her cat by, one Florida woman decided to taxidermy a feline.
Jennifer Clark is an art teacher from Florida who thought it would be a good idea to taxidermy a cat she found on the road. Although it wasn’t her own pet, she thought it would be good practice.
As you could imagine, “taxidermying” a dead cat from the roadside for the very first time had… unintended results.
Jennifer decided she was going to post her results online and they were terrifying. The process ended up taking an entire month and the final product was like something out of a terrifying movie.
The Frankenstein cat was born.
The tabby had:
‘terrifying’ grin and a ‘hotdog’ body that saw the animal’s frame stretched to twice its ordinary size. – Daily Mail
Once she posted it to social media to show off her hellish creation, the internet immediately loved(?) it.
The internet has always had an obsession with the Macabe, but this event seemed to be particularly popular.

While it’s kind of hard to see, the actual body of the cat is even more horrific than you might imagine. The mouth was stuffed with black felt since it was so deformed. Speaking of deformed, Jennifer used a coat hanger to hold the body up. The result was a cat that was elongated beyond any stretch of reality.
Since Jennifer posted the original photo, it’s blown up on the internet.
‘When it was finished I thought. ‘Oh good lord, do I ever want anyone to see this?’
Still, she posted it. Soon after the original post, it had over 200,000 shares on Facebook and it’s probably still climbing!
‘Sometimes you want to preserve your animals but if you bring a cat back from the dead you might get something like the Pet Cemetery movie or Frankenstein’s cat, and this is like that.
Jennifer did the best she could, but she revealed that she did it pretty much blind.
Since posting dead bodies on the internet is a no-go, she just had to go off guides she found.
‘There’s not a lot of videos of taxidermy because they don’t put it on the internet, so I was just going in blind. A lot of the time I was improvising and learning as I went along.”
She ended up naming the cat Oscar and has since developed a social media for him!
While it isn’t for the faint of heart, some of the photos are pretty hilarious. Make sure you check out her photos on her Instagram below!
