This cat skeleton has been through more than 9 lives. It is missing its tail, jaw, and possibly other bones. Some of the ribs are only held on by wire and a small plastic bubble that houses some other bones has broken open. Still, it is recognizable as a feline friend.
This model along with other strange biological finds are from the Biology department of St. Catherine’s University in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Human anatomy was the most prominent of the biological sciences of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The discipline also progressed to establish growing sources of knowledge in histology and developmental biology. As a supplement to intricately drawn diagrams in books, plastic models were cast to replace the need for bodies. Use these models for teaching in a classroom or at home, or use these as a conversation starter in a room with oddities of the 20th century.
