BOSTON: To help herself deal with the grieving process, 23-year-old Chloe Lee decided to taxidermize her beloved cat of 16 years after she passed away in 2020.
The Sun claims that Lee studied taxidermy in order to preserve her pet dog, which she got when she was just six years old. “I got Nicky as a pet when I was six years old,” she claimed.
“She was reserved and timid around other people, but loving and cuddly around me.

“I worked with her body for fifty hours. It assisted in easing my grief.
