I went out into my garden at home the other day to relax and try to chill out, and within 5 minutes stumbled on a complete, albeit headless, animal skeleton. This in itself is not unusual where I live, but what was unusual was the fact that it looked like a cat (or a fox at a stretch) skeleton.
Hmmm. I checked the relevant grave, it lay undisturbed.
This left me with something of a mystery. What would kill a cat, out in the middle of the countryside? It would seem unlikely for the cat to just suddenly have died and then had its head taken away, but the relative intactness of the skeleton suggests it wasn’t eaten. I haven’t put a photo on this entry, but you can see one here if you wish to do so. Forgive the hurried photoshop highlighting, its not perfect.
Ideas?

To be fair, I think it’s also missing a reasonable quantity of Leg.
With no knowledge on what preys on cats/foxes and how it goes about eating them I can’t help. Unless its head was crushed and that was why it died, with apparently no head, but that begs the question, what crushed its head? Somewhat unlikely, really…
