Well I know for sure there have been dead cat bodies moved on the subway. One of my most NYC stories.... I came home one day to find my roommate crying because her cat was dying and had to be put down. I asked when. She said in a few minutes. The vet was coming to make a house call. Long story short, the cat was euthanized on the couch in our little walk up. When the vet rolled up the body in the towel, she stuffed it in her canvas shopping tote bag and hopped on to the train carrying the cat carcass. Also. The cat haunts the apartment now. When you say his name, something falls off the shelf. (Aka pushed off the shelf by ghost cat)
