house magic cat 4

house magic cat 4, originally uploaded by calamitysue.

Not just a cool mummified cat,this poor creature was found sealed in the foundations of a very old house.There was no way it could have got in there and died,it was probably killed and put there to ward off evil spirits. A tradition in England ,there are a few documented in Australia.Here is a website that goes into it.
