Always planned on it, but it hasn't happened yet.

Split them like a rug and do them up for taxidermy (split ears, lips, eyelids, etc; decartilage ears, claws on to the first knuckly, etc). Tack them to a couple sheets of plywood and dry them out, fold them up skin to skin, fur to ur, and put them on the bus for the nearest NAFA depot.
