I do think it is inhuman, but if yourt heart is set then I would have it stuffed at the taxedermest insted of being made into a rug. That would keep its natural shape comsistand and a better reminder of your cat. Consider the fact that cats are like people. Would you want to be made into a rug?

I think letting a cat get fat is inhuman & I think making a rug out of him when he dies is improper & inhuman.

Umm...is this a serious question or are you having a little joke on our behalf? Actually, the Victorians used to have their pets stuffed, so it's not unheard of. But if you make your cat into a rug, you'll be walking over it, which wouldn't be respectful of Nelson's memory. Also, cat fur is finer than polar bear or tiger fur, and a rug made out of cat fur wouldn't wear well. I furthermore suspect that most taxidermists would turn down your request--not to mention that it would probably be expensive. You sound like a kid and I have doubts that you are serious, but if you really want to remember Nelson via his fur, one (real) idea is to save his fur every time you brush or comb him. Eventually, you may be able to get enough fur to get someone to spin into yarn and then knit into something like a muffler or sweater. Evidently there are people who actually do this, but you'll have to start saving up Nelson's fur now to get enough for it to be knitted into something.

Personally I think it is inhumane to let a cat get extremely fat as you say Nelson has become. It is unhealthy for him to be overweight.

Not inhumane since he would be already deceased at that point. But disgusting would be more of the word I would use.
