Uses for dead cats
Never mind entwisi's LPG. How about running your car on dead cats. I think this is the ultimate eco-friendly fuel, we'll never run out of cats.
From the Reuters news site: German inventor's 'cat fuel' angers animal lovers Wed Sep 14, 2005 3:15 PM BST  Printer Friendly | Email Article | RSS   BERLIN (Reuters) - A German inventor has angered animal rights activists with his answer to fighting the soaring cost of fuel -- dead cats. Christian Koch, 55, from the eastern county of Saxony, told Bild newspaper that his organic diesel fuel -- a home-made blend of garbage, run-over cats, and other ingredients -- is a proven alternative to normal consumer diesel. "I drive my normal diesel-powered car with this mixture," Koch said. "I have gone 170,000 km (106,000 miles) without a problem." The Web site of Koch's firm, "Alphakat GmbH," says his patented "KDV 500" machine can produce what he calls the "bio-diesel" fuel at about 23 euro cents (30 cents) a litre, which is about one-fifth the price at petrol stations now. Koch said around 20 dead cats added into the mix could help produce enough fuel to fill up a 50-litre (11 gallon) tank. But the president of the German Society for the Protection of Animals, Wolfgang Apel, said using dead cats for fuel was illegal. "There's no danger for cats and dogs in Germany because this practice is outlawed in Germany," Apel told Bild on Wednesday in a story entitled "Can you really make fuel out of cats?" "We're going to keep an eye on this case," Apel said.

Re: Uses for dead cats
Just as well it not April 1st I think.
Not too sure if I like the idea but would love to see fuel at the prices stated in stead of being ripped-off by a garage the other day!!! Had price of deisel on big boards at 97.9p a litre but when you got too pump the prices was £1.02.9 a litre not saying which garage it was but think some of you will know |

Re: Uses for dead cats
Being a cat owner......and cat mad, I can see why the animal rights activists are up in arms.
There are other ways to fuel cars......and they would be developed more except that this goverment gets such a rake off in revenue.......every time the price goes up Gordon Brown must rub his hands with glee.

Re: Uses for dead cats
Lovely stuff! At last we have something with a bit of life in it....some of the other stuff that has been posted on here recently appears intended to turn the Accy Web into a 1950's womens weekly magazine. The only thread that seems to have been missing is one for people to swop knitting patterns for sleeveless pullovers.
As for other uses for dead cats, let me have a think... Last edited by Tealeaf; 14-09-2005 at 16:35. |

Re: Uses for dead cats
I wonder what sort of response a thread called "Uses for Dead Councillors" would elicit.
Seriously though, wasn't there a series of books published about ten years ago on this very subject (dead cats, not dead councillors)?
