"The pieces in the puzzle of the mummified Egyptian cat have finally come together - or at least the pieces of the puss have. X-rays have revealed that the two mummified parcels, belonging to the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery, contained the two halves of a cat.
The contents of one package had been unknown before yesterday's examination at a veterinary clinic, while those in the other were confirmed as a cat's upper portion.
But the art gallery's registrar Anne Rowland said the discovery of what was beneath the layers of linen cloth prompted more questions than answers."
There's a little more on the subject, including a photograph, at the following address on the same site:
