As some of you might already know, Taylor has a keen interest in science and medicine. As one of her elective classes this year, she chose anatomy. She mentioned earlier this week that she would be dissecting a cat in the class, which I was rather jealous to hear. All we ever got were latex injected frogs and giant hissing cockroaches. Not much fun, but interesting nonetheless.
I was sitting at my desk working this morning, when my cell phone beeped, indicating I had just received a text message. It was a message from Taylor. I took a quick glance and the message read:
"Soft kitty,
warm kitty,
little ball of fur.
Happy kitty,
sleepy kitty,
purr purr purr."
The following photos were attached. I just about fell out of my chair.
And on the photo below, she prefaced it with...
"Insert Lion King opener theme song here."
Just for all the animal rights peeps who at this point are likely up in arms, she's not clowning with the cat, she's in the process of preparing the cat for the dissection. She also uses her free time on weekends volunteering for the Humane Society helping with adoptions of the the stray cats and dogs, of which there are literally tens of thousands of in this area. She also helps with all the dogs we foster, so she's not some sort of person who doesn't like animals – she cares deeply about animal welfare. She realizes that this is one kitty she couldn't save from the fate that some careless animal owner relegated this particular cat to.
