There's more than one way to skin a cat
In other words, there is not only one way to achieve a goal. Skinning
in this idiom may mean to beat and cats may have suffered.
A site visitor emailed this theory:
I may be mistaken but more ways to skin a cat I believe is in reference
to skinning a catfish. Their skin sticks to their flesh and is
difficultly separated. There are a few ways to separate. I think one way
was to drop them quickly into boiling water. This is all something I
read as a kid
