This may sound a tad odd.


I have have 2 cats who are now on borrowed time. When they die can anyone suggest a way in which I can convert them into a pair of gloves. I would like a vet after they've been put down to preserve their 'pelts' and then I'd be able to, after treatment, make their hides into a pair of nice warm gloves. I can surely make at least a glove per cat.


Is there a cheaper way of me receiving the pelt and treating it some way and then taking it to a clothier and them making gloves to fit?

The most famous taxidermy shop in London is this one in Islington:

Not sure of the full range of services they offer. I'm with you on this one, we had a dog when I was growing up and I always wanted his big silky ears to make a purse but it never happened. Good luck.

If I wished to put this on 'The Lounge' bit I would have done so, just for a bit of a giggle, but, Mr 'Salsaboy', why would you be so flippant about something? I really mean this.


To have a permanent memory of my cats would be great, why not let them live on in a useful winter asset instead of them wasting away as a memory!

Dopamine1979, I am not trolling, in all sincerity I would very much like my cats to continue to be a part of my life. They are 14 years old (and a spritely 14 years old at that!). They will probably die at different times, but Id like them to become a pair of gloves. They provide me with warmth during the winter months as I do them. Why should that not continue after their death? I would just like some advice as to how to go about the process of conversion. I shall continue to look after them as dotingly as I have for as long as they are still alive.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
