Sensible Erection | There's more than one way to skin a cat

Tuesday, 4 September 2012

quote [ Skinned cats preserved in safe, nontoxic Carolina's Perfection Solution® and dry-packed in vacuum-sealed plastic bags, one per bag. ]

So I'm bored at work, and I type into Google "there's more than one way to skin a cat," for no particular reason.

In the spirit of the post, there's nothing wrong with a little bit of recycling!

The thumb reminds me of the frozen rabbit I get at my local butcher shop, except the head, which is conveniently removed before packaging.

Are you sure it's rabbit?

I remember anatomy class back in high school. The flesh of preserved cats strongly reminded me of cold fried chicken. I always came out of that class hungry, and I'll be honest, it was only the smell of the preservative that stopped me from taking a bite of that cat.

That's ok. Cats feel the same way about you.

All I remember from that is every time the teachers back was turned you were liable to be hit in the head by flying cat parts. We had a cat for every four or five people. My group called our Genghis.

The month we spent dissecting cats wound up the "Find every possible way to skin the cat FOR SCIENCE!" month. Three and a half weeks of high school kids trying to figure out how to get the skin off of a cat, three days of the instructor giving up and dissecting a cat while we watched.

The most luck skinning a cat happened to the group of redneck hunters. They treated it like a freshly shot deer, cut around the limbs, down the belly, and around the anus, and then one of them held it up by the hind legs while the others put their weight into ripping the skin off whole.

for taxidermy classes we skinned the cat the same way we skin out lambs, make a small slit in the belly and put an airhose into the slit,then using high pressure air, inflate the hide right off the cat. then makea few slit cuts and the hide comes off easily.
This will not work on hogs or fish,but most fur animals are easy to skin this way. Cattle are too thick skinned as well.

Thanks for the tip, man.
That's good to know for those of us who need to know how to skin medium-sized animals.

It might help a bit if you could elaborate on just where to make those 'few slit cuts'. Does it vary per animal?

dietcoke said @ 1:32am GMT on 8th Sep
depends on if it is for a prone mount, standing mount or rearing mount, I prefer them around the anal opening since it has to be removed anyway,some prefer on the inner thigh where the hair will cover up the cuts.

It's only $43 a cat if you buy in bulk.

Plastic bags and waterproof name tags are included free with each cat

Why would you name a dead cat?

What would you name a dead cat? I would call mine "Fluffy".
But only in an ironic way.

Could you change the thumb? It's depressing.

tronsgit said @ 2:43am GMT on 5th Sep
So, like, any info on where they get these cats? I'm assuming for that company's sake they don't kill them for this purpose.

rndmnmbr said @ 3:21am GMT on 5th Sep
Probably strays taken from a kill pound, so no, not cats that would have lived otherwise. But yeah, killed for the specific purpose of preservation - taken to the factory while still quite alive, then straight out of the gas chamber and into a tub of preservative.
