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.

    • Thanks 🙏 I appreciate your reply 
    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
