Had to spend from 8:30 this morning to 5:00 just sitting in the lab dissecting this god forsaken cat that we had to skin ourselves... Let me tell you, it really wasn't too much fun.

Why are you dissecting a cat in one day? It is usually done over a series of lab classes so you have time to study the organ/muscle systems as you go?

Problem is that I'm taking the whole class in one half of summer. It's very condensed and very rushed. Today's lab was to make up yesterdays lab which was unfortunately memorial day and today. So we did the muscles and some reproductive organs.

I couldn't disect a mammal. Only thing I dissected in HS was frogs, fish, clams (?!), and squid.

We had to do an unborn pig fetus in junior high biology and high school anatomy.

I had ALOTTA trouble when we were doing a mudpuppy (a type of salamander) about 4 years ago. I'm terrified of lizards or anything that has that shape... Mammals don't seem to bother me at all.

How did the cat die?

I believe the cat we had might have died after an operation... It had stitches on it's throat and left abdomen that never seemed to have healed properly. Rather weird but I believe most of the cats we have were owned by people who gave the bodies to science. (not really sure how true that is.)

i worked in a bio lab once in hs where we seperated the pigs from the huge bin for the seperate classes... me and my friends would have contests tossing the pigs with tongs and catching them in the buckets...

I dissected a sheep's eye in high school. In summer school during junior high, I dissected a fish. Fish smell bad. Apparently, sharks smell even worse.

I can second that... I think it's the urea in sharks but they smell god awful.
