Thank god the only thing I've ever disected was a chicken foot and a rat! There is no way I would ever disect a cat! I have 4 of them running around in my house and I love cats too much to cut one open. But if need be, I could probably disect other animals, although I'm not sure cause I haven't been in that situation. I have seen necropsies before on cats and it's totally disgusting-yet interesting to see the organs and stuff, but I still don't like it at all.
