Sleep In Heavenly Pieces

While visiting family in California during the Christmas Holiday (2008),
I went to the backyard storage shed to find a box for presents.
The sun was beginning to set and "Silent Night" was playing on the radio.
I opened the shed door and this is what I found, exactly as I found it.

Taken by the surreal yet strangely serene scene, I snuck into the house,
grabbed my camera, and shot the image.

Would you have grabbed your camera?

Correction: It appears that this may actually be the skeleton of an Opossum...

Yes, Barbara, it is a cat. Apparently an old one that somehow ventured in to find his final resting place. Everything else is basically a mystery...

" Purrfect peace in a basket ". Incredible, makes you think twice about where you take your eternal nap" Again, wonderful in the GP Merfeld way! Aloha.

...most definately! :-)
Is it a dead cat? What is the story here of how this happened?
Great shot, BTW. V
