A TikToker has gone viral for freeze-drying their dead cat so they could be "together forever". Soren High, 35, from Oregon was heartbroken when their 16-year-old feline Loki passed away from a traumatising accident. Soren, who goes by they/them pronouns, told Insider they instantly knew they wanted to have the cat preserved "the day I took her home." Soren shared each step of the $3,000 (£2,400) process, from packing up Loki with ice and flowers for shipping to learning how to maintenance of the cat.

"My cat arrived in the mail today if you're ready to meet her," they said. @teapourn Remembering Lokicat the only way she deserved ❤️ having a pet preserved is a personal decision and one that many may never understand. When i got Lokicat as a kitten, I knew this was how i was going to deal with ber death. I knew i never wanted her to be gone, and that I wanted to always have her with me. Her death was sudden, even though she was 16. We never expected this would happen and especially by a dog we had been fostering. This situation broke us into a billion pieces. After finding a home for the dog, we had Loki preserved through @Animal Family Pet with help through donations and raising funds with memorial fabrics and pieces. Her preservation cost nearly $3k and it was worth every Penny. . . #petmemorial #petpreservation #taxidermy #petsoftiktok #freezedriedpets #fypシ #foryou #grief #loss #memorial Soren also shared how they had Loki's heart frozen. "She is actually fully intact, meaning she was never skinned, and all her bones are actually still inside," Soren explained in one of her clips. "Remembering Lokicat the only way she deserved. Having a pet preserved is a personal decision and one that many may never understand." Many of their 45,000 TikTokers believed the process to be taxidermy, before Soren corrected them. "Taxidermy is completely different and freeze drying has less impact on the body tissues, making the preservation much more ideal," they said. "There's very little chance that she wouldn’t look like herself through freeze-dry. Taxidermy can lead to some unsatisfactory outcomes if not taken absolutely seriously." @teapourn Replying to @☀️ taxidermy is completely different and freeze drying has less impact on the body tissues, msking the preservation much more ideal. Theres very little chance that she wouldn’t look like herself through freeze dry. Taxidermy can lead to some unsatisfactory outcomes if not taken absolutely seriously. #freezedriedpets #petmemorial #petpreservation #foryou #fypシ TikTokers, who have followed the intriguing process, flooded Soren's videos with heartfelt messages. "What a beautiful thing to do. Rest in peace Lokicat," one person wrote, while another added: "It feels like such a morbid topic and thing to do, but seeing Loki cat in your arms… I just can’t imagine how that must feel. Sending love." Meanwhile, a third user emotionally wrote: "Oh, I cried with you. She looks perfect." Have your say in our news democracy.

Taylor Swift’s music video for the 2017 song 'Delicate' has earned her a rather surprising comparison – former British prime minister Theresa May. The video, which has more than half-a-billion views on YouTube, features Swift dancing through a room full of smartly dressed people as the song plays in the background. But a post on X/Twitter has gone viral after comparing her to “a young Theresa May”. And they may have a point. People who take an interest in British politics could scarcely forget the moment when May, at the 2018 Conservative Party conference, walked on stage to Abba’s Dancing Queen. Her accompanying dance was one for the ages, and drew more than a little mockery on social media at the time. It was, in fact, a tongue-in-cheek reference to a widely shared video of May on a trip to South Africa months earlier, when she danced with a group of school children. Swift may not appreciate the comparison – though there are certain similarities between the two, and Twitter users were quick to point this out.

It just looks like someone being weird!” Another wrote: “I'd appreciate it if you refrain from being this accurate again.” And one other person replied: “The same elegance. The same flow. Truly transcendent.” Looks like Swift might need to go back to the drawing board on some of those moves. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
