Kate Swan, a Jenkintown resident and artist, was not too long ago featured within the Philadelphia Inquirer for her taxidermized cat, Krusty Noodles.
According to the article, Swan’s husband took their cat to Diamond Tooth Taxidermy in Philadelphia, and now he’s endlessly mounted with a useless mouse in his enamel.
Swan wasn’t instantly into the thought.
“I was like, ‘That’s disgusting! I just want his memory in my head,” she mentioned. “I don’t want the cat carcass. It’s a parade of death.’ I was just appalled.”
But after awhile, she got here round to it and commenced welcoming Krusty’s second life.
“It’s the centerpiece over my table. It really is the showpiece of my home,” Swan mentioned. “I know that’s insane, but it’s like, ‘Ah, Krusty, what a champ.’”
The article goes on to notice that the worldwide pet-preservation market, valued at $87.6 million in 2022, is projected to surpass $111.4 million by 2031, in accordance with Astute Analytica, a worldwide market analysis firm.
