Bringing old homes up to scratch is nothing out of the ordinary for property renovators Andrew and George Hartley,

But this professional couple nearly jumped out their skin when greeted by their most recent form of preservation - as a mummified cat fell on them.

The couple got a face full of the ancient feline as they removed ceilings from an 18th century property in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire.

There is an old school, 1700’s, near me that had a mummified cat under it. It was thought to be good luck. Goodness knows why!

[Jet Jaguar]

It was probably once someone’s beloved, beautiful kitty; just as pretty as our kitty kats that we have now. I’ll bet the kitty’s owner wondered what ever happened to her cat. Sad.
