Cat Dissection (Vinyl Display & 3-D Paper Model)

Cat Dissection (Vinyl Display & 3-D Paper Model) provides a humane, hands-on way to explore mammalian anatomy—no fur or formaldehyde needed. Once part of Getting Nerdy’s dissection line, this Vinyl Cat Dissection Model has a new home at Inside Out Science, offering a compassionate, classroom-friendly approach to feline anatomy and physiology. This larger-than-life vinyl cat mirrors our student paper Scienstructable models, giving teachers a durable, reusable way to demonstrate complex organ systems.

Students build their own understanding through the paper lesson, which includes guided readings, differentiated organizers, and color-cut-assemble templates for their own foldable 3-D cat model. Great for comparative anatomy units or upper-level life science courses, the lesson highlights skeletal, muscular, digestive, reproductive, and circulatory structures in a clean, engaging format.

Your vinyl cat model ships on perforated sheets and assembles using the included glue dots. Once completed, it adheres securely to the vinyl dissection tray sticker using the included Velcro dots, creating a high-impact demonstration piece you can use year after year. The printed instructions include a link to the video assembly guide for classroom support.

With digital access delivered via email, it’s easy to print, project, or add materials to your LMS. Humane, high-impact, and built to last, this Vinyl Cat Dissection Model brings mammalian anatomy to life—from the Inside Out.

Furthermore, this model adheres to modern Three Rs standards (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement), offering an eco-friendly and scent-free experience that accommodates students opting out of traditional dissections. A paper version is also available.
