    I agree that this is just too creepy. Personally, I don't see how a person can see their pet every day like that, knowing they are dead. I would be bawling my eyes out all the time. But, like Donna said, "To each their own."

    Having the occasional morbid sense of humor that I do.....

    All I can think of is how much it would my cat sitter freak out over that. Here the poor lady would come in expecting to feed 7 cats, and finds a cat she know is deceased laying in the window hammock. Now either she's gonna think she's seeing ghosts and never come back or she'd think I added a cat that looks exactly like Dusty and then screams when she can't wake it up to feed it. I dunno maybe I'm the only one that would find that scenario semi-amusing. lol

    Either way I don't think I could do it. It's bad enough everytime I see Bear's gray butt walk by or see him sleeping in Dusty's favorite spots, I sorta do a double take thinking I'm gonna see Dusty there. I don't think I could live with having her body here everyday knowing it won't wake up and purr or meow at me.

    That's just creepy, I would never do it. Your pet isn't a statue or decoration for you house. It's like a person, would you freeze dry a person and keep them in your house?

    Kind of weird to me, but I guess some people would do it. I would personally cry everytime I see them.

    Funny thing is that at one time I thought I wanted to have myself freeze dried because I can't stand the thought of being buried or creamated when I'm gone. Problem is I can't think of anyone who would keep me around their house, I'd probably end up collecting dust in someone's shed.

    I went to an outdoorsmen show once (hunting, fishing... etc) and there was a taxidermy both there and I saw a dog laying under the table and I thought oh how cute!
    Yeah... it was stuffed. and I was freaked out.
