f you are wondering how long they stay on the stretcher I took that cat off last night and it is stiff as a board.

Beautifull, wish all the cats I buy were handled like yours. One comment, leave the back legs longer, it makes the cat look bigger. My name is Don Judkins and I belong to cat-anonymous. Buyer 35 plus years. Great pictures. Don

Thanks for the extra tip, Joel. I must have missed that one along the way.

Folks, in case you didn't know it, if I'm not mistaken, that is the man that michael, and me, and you can thank for first coming up with the Nevada stretch.

Great job, Michael! I can see you take a lot of pride in your work (not so sure about your "Jammies", though)LOL.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

don,

I am not sure they could be any longer. I went all the way down to the paw almost. They might look off cause I didn't cut along the coloration line on the legs at first. I made more of a straight cut down the middle not realizing how they would go on the stretcher.

I'll have you know those jammies have been around the world from elk camps in CO and ID to my wedding in Mexico and beyond. Those things have stood the test of time and are a welcomed item in my closet~ lol

That Nevada stretch has been around a lot longer than you think. I have been putting up fox and coyote that way since the late fifties. I learned from an old Norski and I'm sure he didn't start it. He just said that the canines looked better stretched that way. Asa, did your dad stretch that way? Anyone know where that style originated?

I have heard many times that at least on cats it was more recent than that. I also heard that Blaksley was doing it before anyone- who knows though. you do fox and yotes that way? Probably looks pretty sweet. I sortf did our Fisher Nevada style, but not exactly

Those are some good looking Fox!

How did you freeze them to keep them from frostburing?

I do my cat's the same way, but I do not put fur side in at all.

I do the borax thing, but I keep mine in a 5 gallon bucket.

When I do cat's I will pour my borax into a jet sled that I use for ice fishing. The sled in very long and I can fit a whole stretched and dried cat in it, for the final cleaning.

I do not know who invented the Nevada style stretch, but this I so know for sure. When I here names like:

Joel Blaksley

Steve Wood

William Ilchik

Otis Latham

Tracey Truman

I will listen up because they know a thing or two about cat's.


You will find the cats where they are, loCATion, loCATion, loCATion.
