    You can still say bad things about cats, just don’t mention bad things to dogs, especially dogs of mixed or non specific breeding found on reservations.

    Balsa and basswood in different sizes/lengths from the craft stores are a godsend for me. Hot glue gun!

    No reasonably strong wood softer than balsa, I think? Strong enough, but soft at the same time.

    If it makes you cat lovers feel any better, according to google the origin of the phrase may refer to a gymnastics move or a catfish. Of course there are also instructions on how to skin a cat, so don't look it up if your squeamish.

    The Vietnamese consider it a delicacy, at one time.

    Just boil and peel, like a tomato

    Tom a dog of mixed or non-specific breeding from reservations are rezdogs and there will be no talk of skinning rezdog. Talk of skinning cats, I suppose, but I don’t know any way to do that.

    Thanks Rez, that have me a good laugh.

    Me and my buddy ate cats and dogs for years before we found out that is what was being served. When I found out, the variance in flavors and textures on different days all made sense!
    His wife's mom was Chinese and didn't think to ask or mention, and we assumed it was chicken or venison.
    She said that their modo is that if it's back is to the sun, you can eat it.
    But it is a strange idea, to eat something, that I've had close friends who were that particular species.
    Strange world it is.
