When we think of taxidermists, we think of people who stuff and preserve wild animals, but one person who specialized in stuffing pets, cats in particular, was the Englishman Walter Potter, who not only practiced his art on the bodies of cats, but liked to pose and dress the cats in human settings, such as weddings. The Victorians, who had a kind of “cuteness cult,” were quite fond of Potter’s preserved-cat art.
