They make coats from the cat skins. Rather disgusting procedure, but I know that this happens in the Netherlands as well as in Germany and in many other countries like China, Phillipines. They get about $10,- per cat

My friend had a cat who didn't come home and she found out that there was in fact one of these criminals who sell the cat coats lives in her street. When she showed up to ask if he had her cat too, she got a gun shown to her head. Nice buddies...
Her cat never returned.

It's known that people with rheuma buy blankets made of cat coats.

There are many articles about it on the internet. I've so far read the German only, and linking would be useless for you...
