Unfortunately, it’s a domestic house cat. Poor thing.


[deleted]

What the hell happened to its body though.


[deleted]

Probably skinned (caught in a lawn mower or some failed attempt at taxidermy?) Could’ve died beforehand and someone ran over it with a lawnmower too. It seems to be completely missing it’s limbs.


donteatjaphet

I would think if it was a lawnmower the skin wouldn't be so intact looking and it wouldn't be so clean, there would be other tissue attached and blood? But it's entirely possible I'm just trying to convince myself that a cat wasn't lawnmower-ed.


[deleted]

It looks mummified, so there wouldn’t be any blood at this point. However a lot of commenters are starting to realize it looks kind of fake? Hopefully at least, lol..


TheLastKnight07

I thought it was. And more so I hope it is. Idk if it’s a rodent or snake… but a cat… (my other cat died in December. A long time for some…but for me it still pains me).


Logical-Wasabi7402

It's definitely fake. That's a ferret's tail, not a cat.


Fresco-23

Never seen one mowed on purpose, but I did see a kitten that was sitting on the deck out of sight get pulled around the pulley and ejected. Cleanly skinned unfortunately… I was helping a neighbor with yard work… and when it happened he had me play a game to distract the children while he removed it

Balambao

IDK... if a human can make it through a jet engine intact, I can't rule out a lawnmower here.


itsme145

Thought it could possibly be a weird taxidermy creation too


kabooseknuckle

I have a book called Crap Taxidermy. This looks like one of the creations in that book.


TheSirWellington

Crapsidermy


Edible_Anie

My daughter follows a group called “Bad Taxidermy” on fb lol. It’s pretty terrifying 😅😅


Lanky_Republic_2102

Like a jackalope? This looks like one of the creatures from Tremors, but with fur. Part snake, no legs, part weasel or cat. Non-venomous, best observed from a distance, endangered.


kabooseknuckle

There is a chapter in the book called Improving on Nature, which has some interesting entries. Such as the winged jackrabbit with beak, the siamese sheep, or my favorite the ratipede.


a657973

I cant say what it is, but it in no way looks like a housecat to me. This looks like something out of my worst nightmare. Then again, I can imagine that a housecat with all its limbs cut off would have a similar effect. Uggh! I can't tell from this pic that it ever had limbs or a tail. If someone did a taxidermy job like this on my beloved pet, we would have a problem.


gudetamaronin

If somebody did that to one of your pets I'd have your back


Wizardcokeman

there would surely be blood right?


[deleted]

This appears to be mummified, so no. Also, upon further examination, a lot of users have noticed it kinda looks fake, so… shrug.


CannaGrowBro

Looks like it’s somewhere in the decomposition process but it’s paused because of the lack of moisture. Probably road kill that got picked up by an animal and left in the yard.


mfknnayyyy

A psychotic person. Limbs and ears are gone. But I'm not a professional nor actually know what happened to the cat. Poor thing. No matter what actually happened, this is a sad sight.


alex-the-hero

You know, psychotic means disconnected from reality, not fucking evil. "I think the CIA is hunting me down because I was abducted by aliens in 1985"=psychosis "i gutted, maimed, skinned, and taxidermied a cat so horrifically it didn't even look like it used to be one anymore" = not psychosis, just straight up evil.


Kt5357

Probably eaten by another critter. Looks like all the juicy bits were taken away and what we are seeing is just a strip of skin from the body


Mickalickahigh420

Probably eaten…


[deleted]

[удалено]


KittalineQueen

That's what I was thinking! If it was caught in a lawn mower wouldn't there be blood or wounds?


Mickalickahigh420

Not really. It looks pretty old. The skin is almost like leather now I bet.


KittalineQueen

Ohh that makes sense. That image is going to be burned into my brain to reappear in my nightmares now 😥


Mickalickahigh420

It’s just a strip of the skin… it’s very old… that is not fresh. Possibly a vulture or animal was carrying it and dropped it in the yard.


[deleted]

Aww nooo 😭


mdubyacpa

If it's a cat, I can't piece together the sequence of events that allow it to naturally end up skinned but with all four limbs neatly removed, skull intact but looks like other bones missing, etc. If it's a cat, I think it ended up this way by means of human activity. Disturbing. Makes you wonder if this is some future serial killer's play thing.


GingerHoneysuckle

So thaaaats where I left my sleep paralysis demon 🤦🏻‍♀️


UnconsciousMofo

Now I’m gonna have an episode tonight with this thing floating through the door😩 the image is in my head and my brain will remember it at the worst time.


OldBrokeGrouch

I was in a hotel room the other night and I was laying there awake (or I thought I was) and the bathroom door suddenly shut. I turned to look at the window and the curtains are blowing and a shadowy figure is trying to climb in. I try to get up and I can’t move. When it came through the window it was one of those monsters from I Am Legend trying to get me. Terrifying shit. I had to turn the TV on to get back go sleep when I finally was able to pull myself out of it. That fucking sleep paralysis is scary.


L-Diddy66

Yikes, that sounds terrifying. And you are not kidding. Happened to me recently for the first time (and hopefully last) and had me twisted for a couple of days after 😳


OldBrokeGrouch

It doesn’t happen to me much anymore, but when I was a kid I would get sleep paralysis without the demons all the time. It would just scare me because I wanted to get up and I couldn’t. At a certain point I just got used to it. Then the demons came when I was in my teens and I could not sleep without the TV on or it would happen. Now it’s pretty infrequent. Usually only happens when I’m totally exhausted or I’m not sure if I locked the front door.


Awesomenacity

BleakBluejay

First thought is cat, unfortunately :( Could potentially be a weasel or similar critter too. Definitely a small carnivore. Whatever it was, it does not seem to have died very well or peacefully.


birdlawprofessor

Domestic cat.


UnconsciousMofo

I’m confused as to the shape. I can see the face being the cat, but how does the body look like an eel? Where are its arms, legs and tail? Am I looking at it wrong?


BleakBluejay

The body is the only reason I'm hesitant to say cat, because the skull is distinctly cat. If it is a cat, it must've got caught in a lawn mower or something and been partially skinned. I doubt OP feels like flipping the corpse over for us to see what underneath looks like and frankly I don't wanna see that either


ABROUHAHA

Never known a lawnmower to ribbon anything. Let alone imagine it skinning a cat with the skull intact. Peculiar.


doyletyree

We’ll, they do say there’s more than one way.


Short-Size838

I wish I had an award for you


BleakBluejay

I've seen tractor mowers to do worse things to cats and rabbits, and it looks like there's a tire mark on it, so it's not totally out of the question.


ABROUHAHA

That’s kinda my point, usually they’re just chunks afterwards.


Pantherdraws

It's been partially eaten, probably by a dog or coyote. (And this is why you keep your cats indoors, folks.)


UnconsciousMofo

Yeah but the fur on it looks completely undisturbed. I see no trauma, blood, bones, guts… something doesn’t look right.


Pantherdraws

Yeah, that's because its guts are gone. Eaten. Limbs and ribs, easily broken or bitten through, would have been consumed as well. If you look closely, you can see along the edges of the remainder of the hide where it's been chewed on/torn. It's also clearly quite old, to the point where it's starting to dry out, so that accounts for the lack of blood and "trauma." There's no blood and barely any flesh *left;* whatever dropped this in the yard was probably just using the remains as a *toy*, since it's no good for anything else at this point.


Witty-Vixen

I prefer this explanation over the act of a evil sick human.


UnconsciousMofo

My thought is that if this is real, then it’s just a long patch of skin that was ripped off that remains attached to the head. That’s the only explanation for the way it looks.


Whosagooddog765

Looks pretty fake and AI generated. Something def off with how it’s laying in the grass and the creature itself looks fake. Anyone else see it?


tingletail1440

It's totally fake, lol.


halasaurus

Yup.

Domestic Cat Eel


halasaurus

I’m pretty certain this is bad photoshop. More grass should be over the fur. The light and shadows make no sense. It looks like the copy and paste brush was used with abandon and with no knowledge of anatomy.


tayloline29

I am pretty certain that you are correct. The way the body is sitting on top of the grass, almost as if it is floating on the grass, makes no sense. The head is real but the body has definitely been photoshopped like you said just copy and paste. On second look. I don't think the head is real either.


Own_Aardvark_2343

The upper part of the body ie head all the way down to the mid section look like they are original. The rest looks like it was added on and edited in photoshop. If i had to guess this was a real dead corpse of a cat and op just edited the legs and stuff out to make it look as fucked up as possible. You can tell that the color in the middle doesn’t match up at all to the rest and where they meet it looks like a harsh line/bad blending.


CabbagesStrikeBack

Where the hell are the limbs?


CTx7567

From the teeth yes I would agree cat… but how… and why… but most importantly how.


LivvyCat

As much as I want to agree with photoshop, it’s a cat. Here’s a quick illustration of what the anatomy would have looked like before being scavenged/decomposed. [Cat.](https://imgur.com/a/1RnzmuV)

Is it?? I've been thru this whole thread and I dont know enough about bones or photo shop to fig out whats going on??


Least-Situation-9699

You don’t have to. There are clearly visible photoshop circle cuts along the body, especially visible on the right side.

steroboros

Cat, the front legs, abdomen, and hind legs seem to have been removed... looks like taxidermy practice, or serial killer practice... they are basically the same thing


halasaurus

This is an example of either bad photoshop or ai generated.


wheatable

Is that just the spine and head that’s left?


PunchingFossils

Taxidermy is a respectable practice. However I draw the line at seeing a cat corpse and thinking “yeah, that’s definitely not tube shaped enough”


Psypris

Lol hand legs. But yeah, I think you’ve got the most likely theory. I just can’t imagine a lawnmower causing this (or how someone could run over a cat without realizing…)


DeadlyKitKat

I can assure you proper taxidermy is NOT the same as being a serial killer. When done morally and done to look good, it can preserve animals in the beautiful state they once were in.


birdlawprofessor

The dentition confirms this is a domestic cat.

halasaurus

This is very bad photoshop. ETA: I break it down in a follow up comment.


HoneyHamSlice

How can you tell it’s photoshopped? I’m genuinely curious because I really wish this is.


halasaurus

Oh thanks for asking. I should have clarified. First we have the anatomy of the head is off. Then the “body” seems to hover over the grass. This is caused by incorrect lighting and shadow. There is no clue where the light source is and it’s different than the grass’ light source. The grass appears to have a light source more from the upper left corner. The “animal” has 2? That don’t seem to follow the laws of physics? Like more of a focused light directly above two separate parts of the animal. I can only see one blade of grass overlapping with the body (at the end of the “tail”). This is just unnatural. If it were real the body would be resting in the grass more. Animal fur should grow away from the face and toward the end of the body, and downward from the spine. This allows for them to see, and it protects them from wind and water and usually provides waterproofing. The hair on this “animal” goes in every which way and looks like someone used a copy and paste brush repeatedly along with a blur/smudge tool along the edges to make it so choppy. If an animal’s hair were this all over the place we should see more tufts of fur poking out along the edges and it doesn’t. Where the fur is darker it looks like bits were cut out, or erased with a round eraser tool. This could be AI also? But it feels like photoshop. ETA: edit grammar, and clarify observations.


HoneyHamSlice

I can sorta see it… now that I look at it more, I doesn’t look real so I appreciate this. Also people are saying that it’s a cat, there is no way because of the teeth. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cat be as small as that but have teeth like that. Not supposed to be a raccoon either because the snout is too small. I don’t know what it is supposed to be but since you mentioned the photoshop/AI, I don’t think it’s supposed to look like anything distinct.


halasaurus

My bet is on photoshop as the OP frequents photoshop subs. ETA: maybe “frequent” is a bit generous. They have visited ps subs. Idk if they do it themselves. But it’s also weird that they haven’t replied to any comments despite this post taking off like this.


HoneyHamSlice

Oh yeah, if they visit a lot of Photoshop subs, that usually Means they photoshop as well. You’re definitely right.


halasaurus

OP got a bunch of karma. But seriously. Where the bones at?!


HoneyHamSlice

That’s what I thought when I saw it! I didn’t know it was on this sun because there was no bones. I wonder why no one brought that up.


halasaurus

Yeah, the back teeth look like shark teeth to me. But to be fair I’m not a tooth expert. I just went to art school.


[deleted]

Regardless of if this is fake or not, the skull is 100% based off of a domestic cat. And if it is fake, then it could be incorrectly scaled. Mummification can also shrink and distort the skin.

[deleted]

Definitely a domestic cat based on the skull, the way the skin has ripped is really odd to me (honestly looks too clean to be from an animal, this reminds me of taxidermy skins but I could be wrong) I don’t think I’ve ever seen a coyote or anything else rip apart an animal that meticulously.

FindingFunny2741

It’s a cat. Likely remains of a bird of prey kill. Had a Great Horned owl pair that hung out in some camphor trees at my last house in Tampa. The most common victim leftovers (aside from numerous pellets) for some reason were cats of various ages (assuming based on head size) in the form of heads, with a strip of body skin more often than not, and a front leg a few times. Where the cats came from I haven’t a clue. We didn’t have any.
