The saying goes there are several ways to skin a cat,I can only think of one?

Answer 1

A cat-loving friend of mine gave me a book called " 100 things to do with a dead cat", I have searched through the pages, but there are no instructions about how to skin it. I suggest you `google` your query.

Answer 2

There are 9 ways to skin a cat, according to naval folklore. This saying comes from a euphamism for the punishment administered at the authority of Captains of naval vessels with a whip known as a "cat-o-nine-tails."
It was a baton with nine braided cords coming out of it used to inflict pain on wrongdoers.

People used to actually kill cats for fun and devise different ways to do it. Before the plague, people thought cats were evil animals. However, if a cat has 9 lives, and you skin a cat, you kill it. If you skin it 9 different ways, you kill it 9 different times. There is also the gymnastic move and taking the skin off of a catalytic convertor.
