I suppose one could make a hat out of a skinned cat. Of course, we all know it is cold enough for a walking stick.Or the wind does not go around you, it goes right through.

I've been sitting here trying to think of one to add to yours, but my mind is not working in that direction at the moment.

Good morning

I have heard all of these sayings, and I agree with you concerning the idiom about skinning a cat. It is a strange way to express achieving goals and the proverb has several questionable origins dating back to the early 1800s.
