Say what???

Overheard (in passing) at work today...

"You know, I have been reading. And I've decided to just mount the cat..."

What the...??? Surely I heard that wrong. I mean, I live in Wisconsin and all. And they *do* offer "Beginning Taxidermy" as a supplemental summer school course here (I think you have to be in 6th grade and you get to mount a fish...) but mount the cat?? That can't be right...

Or is that something that gets done?? What do you think?
