My girlfriend is starting in the medical field and is fascinated with death. About a 2 months ago we had a litter of kittens and two of them died. About a month ago, we buried them in the backyard and planned on getting their bones out for her bone jar. (Sounds hotter than it is) Today we dug them up and even after more than a month the insides we still very much liquidy. The bones we also very soggy for lack of a better word. This was perplexing to both of us as after this much time it should mostly be skin, bones and hair. What causes this liquification? And how to bones get soggy?
Extra info: we live in the the central midwest. Moderate heat and wetness. They were buried in a box wrapped in a towel about a foot underground.
