How else would you raise the cat from the dead?

my guess is that the turkeys think the dead cat is a dead turkey and this is some sort of normal behavior for them?

We're just not accustomed to seeing cats who've died an honorable death. Clearly they're taking it to Valhalla.

I'm actually thinking the turkeys probably killed the cat.

I find it hard to believe none of you have ever played Musical Chairs: Dead Cat Edition.
