Taken: November 29, 2015
Caption: Mummified cat
Additional Description: In 1830, this cat was trapped inside the walls of a Pensacola house during construction. 116 years later, in 1966, the cat's body was found when the building was torn down. The mummified corpse was given to T.T. Wentworth, Jr. for his museum, where it quickly became the "must see" item. Many years later, the cat is still a favorite exhibit among museum visitors.
