How to cut your cat • 1. Put gloves and protective gear on. • 2. Drain excess fluid out of your cat. • 3. Lie cat on its back. • 4. Tie paws down. • 5. Cut along midline and lift skin. • 6. Tease the skin away, but make sure you don’t cut through the muscle. • 7. Cut on either side of the genitalia. Continue until skin on paws is gone. • 8. Skin head. Peel skin away from ears. Peel until you feel bone close to lips and jaws. • 9. Begin dissecting cat.
September 17, 2008 • We washed Tom and started to skin her. We made incisions down the chest and stomach and up the inside of the front of the legs and wrists. We detached the skin from the muscle. Then we made incisions down the back and cut it away from the muscle.
September 18, 2008 • We were finishing up skinning our cat. We had the whole cat skinned except for its head.
September 19, 2008 We made our first incision vertically down the stomach of the cat. Then we made an incision diagonally across the bottom of the ribs and through the diaphragm and above the genitals. Last we identified the organs.
September 23, 2008 • We made a small cut in the trachea and blew it up with a straw. Then we made an incision in the bladder and blew it up also. Next we cut open the stomach and found grass and a cricket. Last we cut the large intestine open and found feces.
September 24, 2008 We identified and took pictures of all the organs. Liver Diaphragm
