The back of the neck is gonna be the last area to dry. It'll slip there too. I'd try and wedge it front and back even though you have it on an adjustable stretcher.

Why did you put it on the board like that? Highly likely to have problems with that skin,may not show up until it comes back from the dressers.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

There must have been a reason, why did you skip the flip?

I don't flip here in Nevada, but that's just because its so dry. Borax the whole pelt and get a fan on it like they said. And check out this video on how to put up a cat: you can just skip forward and watch him put it up. How to put up a cat

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

So how do I sort the fact from fiction if I don’t do it myself??? It’s very dry in my shed the Woodstove is stoked a couple times a day, so far I have concluded that the fan is a great idea, the belly wedges are a great idea, leaving the feet turned is a great idea, the cat is drying nicely. Bctomcat you’re kinda hard to like.

How to put up a catNever put up a cat, but seems to me even if you have to put on the board skin out for a few hours at the least, it would be better than not...I don't want to ruffle feathers, nor do I feel I'm educated enough to comment, but just would like to know the thought process behind this. I'm not here to admonish, I'm here to learn!

Bctomcat,Those feet are turned inside out and that’s the foot that had the trap on it, do you have any way to remove bloodshot.??? YES, you can use borax to clean fur, especially with regard to dried blood stains. Once the skin has dried and the fur turned out work considerable dry borax powder into the stained areas, let set for 10-15 minutes and then comb, brush, and shake the borax out. Using this borax treatment method works extremely well as can be seen in the following before and after pictures. As well as removing blood stains the borax also cleans and brightens the fur. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2022/01/full-12152-124702-before.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2022/01/full-12152-124703-after_borax.jpg)
