I got my cat back from the taxidermist, just the hide, I'm looking for an idea on how to display the cat hide...
Not the biggest cat by no means, but my first after trying for a couple years...

My thought was to display the cat on a vintage wooden stretcher board, vintage one if I can find one....
See any problems with the hide on a board? Just not sure if it's a good idea to leave the hide on the board for some time??

My house cat likes it, I know, but she is a mouse killing machine...lol
Thanks



Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes......
Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

Nice,hang it on the wall for a while then when you get tired of looking at it,have something made out of it.
If you skinned it for taxi,you could get it rugged.I like rugs better than full body mounts.

I like rugged also, but she isn't very big....

I did think of making a hat out of her, would be nice while trapping Fisher in the UP...??

Get the "house cat" away from something that scraps for a meal! Not trying to be negative, just my thoughts.

^^^^^ that's not your ordinary house cat...she makes me turds to use for cat trapping, and test all my baits and lures for cats...
She has picked out some good lures, just saying...lol

Thanks for the info on the display boards....
