Agony

OK, ignore the last comment. THIS is unsettling.

Alright first comment : ) !!

That some Fed up S**t man!

Thats Disturbing !!!!

This is freaky as hell-- do you reckon it suffocated or what? o.O

poor kitty....

OMG! thats horrible! poor kitty... i wonder what happened to it for it to end up like that

PS- ew it still has whiskers...

Poor kitty. :(

It looks like someone threw it, theres a lot of jackasses out there that would do so...

Oh man...

Ohhh, how so very sad!

Have to wonder what happened to that cat. >.>

I wonder how that cat got there, how long its been there. It's really creepy

poor thing, it looks like its back is broken

[insert very unhappy face here]

This is, by far, the most disgusting/disturbing picture I have ever seen on here. This, however, does not negate my need to pour over every detail of the photo.

Seems common for cats to die in these places...
But i've never seen a cat in such a position of agony, dead or alive!

This is truly a disturbing photo. Just like everyone else I to wonder how this poor cat died. For his sake I hope it was not a painful death but by the look on his face I doubt it. There are truly some sick people in this world though and I hope he was not a part of someones sick joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

even i'm at a loss for words....

PROBABLY DIED OF STARVATION

At least it's not in pain anymore.

poor kitty.

Disturbing. Poor cat. But it's suffering is over and it's in a much better place now.

wow....no comment from me I'm speechless

:-(

Hmmm. Interesting that in such a damp, moldy place, there would be enough of a lack of moisture to dry the cat out, instead of having it mold/rot as would be expected. Physics.

so wrong, on so many levels!

So dead cat out of the drawer beats dead cat in the drawer?? (another photo)

Looks like it fell from some were, Motts were there any high up places nere there? Cats have a habit of jumping from high places, maby it fell? or some one -shivers- threw it.

OMG!!! SICK

Just hazarding a guess... but if all that poop on the table is from the cat, then it must have been around for a while. Maybe the shrinking tendons or something pulled the head back like that after the cat died?

Still... freakin' creepy.

Correct Birdy. As the tendons dry out, the back and neck arch opening the mouth. The expression on its face is very doubtfully the expression of a painful death. Its just the drying process pulling everything into that peculiar shape. Nvusovmots, I agree, interesting to see it dried out in such a moist environment. I guess we must assume it died during a dryer spell.

Which is all totally beside the point. What an excelent photo.

That's so sad...poor Child of Bast. I agree with Revyloution, the tendons do dry and pull into odd shapes during Decomp.

What a sad photo. Look at how it's front paws are so serenly folded. Many animals wander off and hide in a secluded place when they are dying. This cat probably was dying and chose here (and took awhile judging by the feces) to do it. Maybe it was up above in the rafters (?) or roof above and fell into it's current position when it died.

Oh my god. I have two cats, and that just made me very sick. Disturbing isn't the word.

That thing is sweet looking. =D

It's strange how this cat ended up in such a position. It looks like it was placed there on purpose and left to decompose. If you think about all the events a body goes through during decomposition and all, this doesn't fit the bill. It looks like it was held in place so it would look the way it is now.

WOW. it still had it's mouth open, what is that on the table, guts?....poor kitty...

opps my mistake i just read what was in the caption dumb dumb me.......*blushes*

i need to go give my cats a hug,this is too much.

R.I.P

What a sad place to die! Poor kitty D: I wonder how long it has been down there?

At the vet clinic that I volunteered at, there was a mummified cat in the X-ray room. Someone was renovating or demolishing their house, and they found the body in between two layers of cement.

i really wanna know why there was a poor cat there. :(

it looks bigger than a cat.

I'm-I'm going to go hold my cat now... and cry a bit on the inside...

wow i don't even know what to say that's just really really creepy holy carp. sooooooo creepy.

son of a Bich that is disturbing

i would have run like hell!

I thought about it for a while and when animals are close to death they go and hide somewhere to die alone. The expression on the cats face and the position of the body was more than likely from it's nerves twitching and its muscles tightening up after death.

this cat has fallen from a height.
it doesn't necessarily have to have been in pain. As the above comment states, probably more from the agonal gasping rather than anything else. It had to have either been dead or paralysed when it got there because it wouldn't let itself be in that position.
i'm a vet nurse btw, so it's all justified posting :p

ashes to ashes dust to dust this is the fate of all living things poor cat !!!

Oh, Poor Poose-cat. Makes me sad to see something like that.

that is so sad ='( poor kitty </3

I cant thank you enough for this website. Im study photography at college and at the minuite we are studying "urban decay". This is the only site ive found that has amazing pictures on that show urban decay. Especially this picture you can get more decay then this.
Your a amazing photgrapher well done!

Oh my God! Poor kitty! I need to be with my kitty right now

wow, how awful :(

RIP, kitty.

thats very creepy and very disturbing but not as disturbing as watching your cat die in your arms :-( poor kitty kat :(( looks like something might have fallen and broken it's back

I need to go find my cats...for once they aren't on my lap.

That poor cat! It's almost like a car wreck; you shouldn't be looking but you can't turn away. How agonizing!

Unfortunately, I suppose no one will know for sure what happened to this cat.

I feel sorry for the cat. i going to give my cat a hug now!!!!!

Me-OUCH !!!!

the creepiest thing is that it is so well preserved. probably fell or ate something bad.

It appears to have suffered a neck fracture. Human intervention I'm sure

looks like it crapped itself to death. Must have eaten a bad tin of Whiska's

I sure hope that poor kitty did not dye and/or suffer at the hands of a human! It is amazing what the sight of a dead animal can do to a person... it truly is upsetting and disturbing... I think it does more than seeing a dead human being... and I am more upset when I see a dead animal... that was a very sad picture...and once again I sure hope it did not die and/or suffer at the hands of a human being!

wow .

i absolutely dispise cats but this is really sad .
):

What a lonely place to die.

poor kitty TT_TT

I HATE cats, but I still found this disturbing.

The cats spinal cord would have tightened during the mumification process along with its ligaments aswell, this would cause the cat to rear up like that and appear to be in agony...

still creepy as shit still

fuck you aev, and why would it stay there until it dide? cuz theres lots of poops, i guess mayeb a disesse, and also fuck you apple, and maybe he pooped himself to death, but thats really sad and wird, i thought it was a bat at first holly crap lol

It doesn't matter how much you may hate a certain animal. They do not deserve to pass away in this manner. I have found humans far more deserving of this kind of fate for the evil, sick deeds that they perform whereas animals do not have such a mind capacity for what they do and cannot do anything that could be considered despicable.

Very well could have been sacrificed by a cultist , or was sick and starved to death. It just gives nourishment and stimulation to some very bizarre thoughts. It,s alive, it,s alive.

Looks like an Avertisement. FREE CAT

Thats horrible. Very sad, I hope the little cat did not suffer too badly. Maybe it was an accident, I dont want to believe a person did this- although I know thats possible.
and may all individuals who harm animals go straight to hell and be in pain for eternity.

o.o! OMG. Poor kitty. :'(

And Harly, seconding what you said.

I own 3 wolves and i would hate to come home and find them like this

...wow.

I know about the tendons shrinking and such, but i'm more concerned of why it is upside down.

forget the damn cat, whats with the table covered in feces?!?

actually when things become 'mummies' there mouth natuarly do that, so it probably didnt die screaming....
but still that is so creepy!

Poor thing. Could it died of rat poison? That might explain all the feces and the fact that the body dried out in the moist basement.

That is so disturbing!
That is truely creepy looking!!

holy mother! i don't think that thing had a very pleasant life..

looks like the cat was living up above on the table or at least using the table as a litter box and died suddenly, falling into the drawer causing it to be upside down. That would explain the position of the head if the cat fell in head first. It is obvious the cat was living there for some time. It was probably a feral or maybe the pet of the resident. Most likely a feral that met a natural end and was later contorted when the tendons dried. Another explaination for the open mouth is that the cat had a sudden heart attack and died with it's mouth open a bit and then later the drying process took over. I find it highly unlikely the cat died with the mouth open that wide. Remember rigor doesn't set in right away so the muscles do have a chance to relax a bit before and the body goes limp. I bet this is when the cat fell into the drawer. Ever seen the mummies that look like they are screaming but is just the results of natural mummification?

This is disturbing at best. Unlikeliness that it died in agony aside, it's quite unsettling that there's a mummified cat in a drawer surrounded by feces--and for no apparent reason, at that.

HOLY A$$! the hobo's a demon!
BURN DOWN THE HOSPITAL!

(just joking, don't burn it down)

poor kitty!! =[ i feel so bad for it!!

My Thoughts, to add to the dessication, etc. This poor feline may have fallen, but, unfortunately, it may have been attacked by other animals (i.e. rats) in it's debilitated state. Nevertheless, horrible place and way to leave this plane.

THERE YOU ARE SILLY CAT!!!

that is CREEPYYY

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(burst into tears) i feel so bad motts u sure have guts to get near that thing

ohh..... :(

I think I'm going to be sick.... I love cat's especially my obese one that I've had since I was a 1 year old. I hate to think that this might happen to him, He's really old

if i were to venture a guess i would say this cat took residence here after the hospital was out of order i dont think anyone would let a cat go to the bathroom all over so my guess it is not the work of a human. its not from starvation judging from the poop this was a very well fed cat. i would also say this was not the work of another animal because if another animal killed it it it would have consumed the cat not just killing it for the thrill of the chase. i doubt from a fall or the cats legs would be splayed straight out in an attempt to land on its feet as all cats do. if you look at any mummified cat thats been in heat its mouth is always open due to skin shrinkage. i would say this was just a stray using the hospital as a place to stay maybe out of the sun or rain. it went in the most comfortable place to die and probably died a peacefull death. as far as being upside down in the drawer i would say it was moved after death for some reason possibly to make room for something where it looks like a place was cleared of both cat and fecal matter possibly by the hobo... so take a deep breath im sure this cat had a very free & fulfilling life and peaceful death.

Yup, great way to justify it .

Nunya, your "Ventured Guess" sounds more like educated guidance to Me. Very nice, and, thank you. I like your assessment.

I don't even wanna know

Oh man. That's.. nasty.

way worse than the doll. NOW i'm gone!

My stomach turned and my mouth just dropped open at that. So, so, so disturbing. That poor kitty... =(

awwww at first, i thought it was a dog!

Although I have been known to throw my car into reverse a time or six for the sake of a cat; this discusts even me.

Carolina, I hope for your sake AND mine you never stand behind my car, if you know what I mean.

distubingly interesting

This made me have to cuddle with my kitty

my cat even flinched at this photo


Poor kitty

The cat found its way in there and couldn't get out. Probably died of starvation.

Poor thing! If someone did this to that poor critter, I hope that cat haunts him for life! If the cat died from starvation, I feel sorry for him.

That is horrible....there are some really sick people in this world. Ugh.....

yea i highly doubt another animal did that...

extremely disturbing, but i can barely look away ... like when you see a bad accident on the road ...

i cant figure out why the poor thing is inverted...

This is soo awesome

How did it die? Any dried up blood left? I like it. :) You crazy people...that is not disturbing.

Not that I want to burst your bubble, but when living beings die, they begin to lose moisture and rot. At some point during the process, the skin and tissues recede, which is why people used to believe that hair and nails and teeth grew after death, because they actually just became more visible.

...okay this was VERY disturbing...great work again Mr. Motts :)

Oh, poor kitty. I hope that if some d bag did that to that poor creature, they rot in hell. I really love my cats, and that just really hurts me.

its not that grim, it was yawning and had a massive heart attack. it was like old age or something.

that's rather disturbing...
oh god, i actually felt sick when I first saw that!
Poor thing :

the cat was running from the homeless man.

Wow, I've seen a lot of dead animals., but that one takes the cake. VERY disturbing!!

This is distrubing and beautiful at the same time. It made my stomach tight though, At least its not suffering no more, i bet the cat was beautiful too

yummy

Wow.

That is depressing. That really is... im sorry you had to see that motts. I really am.

There is a peace on the other side of pain

It was the resident's pet!!

I have a cat and this makes me feel very upset

another drawer cat, like the ones from earlier

Poor cat. What a horrible place to die. Locked in an old, abandoned psychiatric hospital.

See my first reaction (probably like most) was YIKES NEXT IMAGE! But after reading the comments you know, my mouse glided back up to the top to examine every inch of this photo. And yes, I want to hug my cat now.

really........

Nice.

awwww poor kitty


P.S try listneing to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PHpCywCcIA while looking at pictures of things like this

that poor baby. I weep for God's creatures that are hurt and sad... I pray that no one hurt this poor thing and it was not tormented.. I weep as well as God for his creation........

god in heaven that is horrible..... I wonder if the poor thing got in and couldn't get out and was abandoned?

i hope some asshole did not slam this cat repeatedly in the drawer to break his back. It's been dead quite a while it looks like.

I agree hllhnd, it looks like the cat's neck is at a very unnatural angle, possibly broken.
