don't know if this info has anything to do with your question: At Beni Hasan, there were so many cat mummies that at the end of the 19th century, a total of 19 tons of mummified Egyptian cats were shipped to England to be used as fertilizer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_mummy

Times perhaps and it came up. Fella found a wrapped thingey in the attic and x rayed it you know as you do and found it had a cat skeleton. And the consequence was the uncle who had the attic had been an Egyptologist.
yes Peter Pedant I too have been reading that story about the one found in the attic, also this other story, I just don't like the sound of it at all.
