How do i make a cat skeleton?

Question

I need to have a cat skeleton for this play that we are doing ("The effects of gama rays on man-in-the-moon marigolds") and it seems immoral and unhygenic to use a real cat.
Does anyone know how to make a skeleton and out of what materials?

Answer 1

You could use a plastic replica. I found one at Carolina Biological for $299. They do go for about that price.

However, I found a really inexpensive one here:

for $85.00.

It's made of polyurethane.

Answer 2

If you have to make one, I'd try papier-mache on a wire frame. Would be pretty tough to make a very detailed one, but it the public won't get too close to the cat, it'll probably work fine.

Or maybe you can borrow one, fake or real, from a nearby school's biology department, or a vet? Or try art studio's, they sometimes have skeletons or mock-ups too to get the anatomy correct in their drawings.

Answer 3

why imoral your country has bombed thousands of women and kids
,and now plans to do a lot more
so using a real cat means nothing compared to that .

and if you pour bleach over the bones .it will be hygenic

just kill a cat ,skin it ,take of the meat and put the remains on an ant heap ,in a week you have a skelleton.

Answer 4

You could make one out of cardboard. Everything doesn't always have to be 100% accurate in play. The most important is, that the audience gets what you are saying.

Answer 5

Just use an egg and say thats what the gamma rays did to the cat.
