Immediately it looked like one of those plastic woven keychain things kids were always making in elementary school. I think British kids called them Scoobies?

I remember when we were helping my aunt move into her new house and there was all this stuff that was left in the house from the previous people selling it to her that they didn't want, so we were throwing it away and it was all pretty mistreated and the people were slobs (which is why she got the house for such a deal). Anyway we were moving a big old recliner chair that looked to be about 200 years old and when we did we began to smell and awful smell...and while we were carrying it out we heard and felt something fall out from the bottom of the chair. We were outside by this point, and looked down, and there it was; a rotting, festering cat corpse with ants crawling all over it.

I was 13 at the time, so I dropped the chair and ran for the hills screaming like a little girl.
