Well, funny you should ask about my cat disection. We were all set to open up the thorasic cavity and take a look at the heart and lungs (removing them as well) but instead of finding a nice, mostly empty cavity, what do we find? The small intestines. All squished up in the thorastic cavity. No heart or lungs in view. Opening up the rest of the belly we find that there is no diaphram or anything really. Apparently our poor kitty had a herniated diaphram. Our Teacher looks over and says, "I've never seen that before."
He brings in several others only one who has seen that before. Our poor disection is pracitically thrown to the garbage as we struggle to find where the secum went and where the spleen and Stomach is. And finding the lungs is quite the task as was removing the liver. It was all lopsided. And the gallbladder had ruptured.

Isn't that tragic?
