I used to believe it strange, until I started doing fur work and doing my own tanning then stopped tanning and then became my own buyer and end user of fur.
I have prepped so many dogs and cats, and other smaller furred creatures and sent them to be tanned for people who cannot normally go on with out them and cannot bare the thought of putting them in a burial spot somewhere, it is amazing !
But never had any one ask to have me make them something out of them, always just tan them and be done !!
There is so much un-normal stuff people do with pets, I'm not ever surprised to read or be asked to help with such any more !
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

An older friend of mine, before I was born, used to trap and sell a lot of feral cats, with another guy I met through him. When the market ended, they tanned a bunch of cat hides and sewed them together and lined the entire inside and seats of a car with them. They went on a double first date, with two women, who really liked the soft seat covers, until they figured out what they were.

It's also a great skim from an old Red Skelton bit. No truth to it whatsoever. Except for the cat part of the story. He really got me on that one.
