While, Admittedly, There May Be More Than One Way to Skin A Cat, Presently I Know of Only One

A normal person, when driving down the road on a sunny summer morning, might notice the cars and people around them. A different person might notice the animals in the fields. But I will admit that it takes a decidedly different person--some might even say macabre or bizarre--to notice that the bird in the field is, in fact, a turkey vulture and then screech to a halt in order to go investigate what that vulture is eating.

It turns out that it was a cat. It's pretty common around here for coyotes to drag off small pets at night, and that's what we assumed happened. There was very little left when we arrived on the scene, so we took it home and set to work. The following picture is a bit gross, but the irony of skinning a cat was not lost on me.
