How did the expression "there are many ways to skin a cat" come about? How many cats were harmed in the making of that expression??? 😣

As a kid, I asked my father the same question, and he said it was about skinning catfish, not fuzzy cats. Not true, but I accepted the answer since I had seen him skinning catfish or "cats."
