If you’ve ever wondered what a humanoid cat’s skeleton might look like, Skully the Skeleton cat is your answer! While the rattling of his bones makes him a little less stealthy than his flesh-covered kitty friends, he is every bit as scary! But please don’t comment on his silly little legs, he’s a little sensitive about them…
