I have a friend who ketch's the cats for me and calls me to let me know they are next to my toon. usually can talk the neighbor into cleaning them for me and then have him cook them on his iron skillet.:highfive
but when I have to do it pop them in head with filet board and that usually gets it done then filet right down the backbone and then put the filets on board and it's really easy to run your knife along and skin them that way. easier than skinning first IMO.
