Jellicle cats

When she seemed eager to learn and the opossum handed her the knife hidden in her tail, Magnus got to work. Rolling the large cat over onto its back so it's legs splayed out on either side, he placed his knife down to speak. Hopefully he would do a fair enough job at teaching. "So before you start, you want to roll the animal onto it's back and let it's legs so loose on either side of it. Then, right above their feet you'll want to make a thin cut through the skin all the way around." He picked his knife back up and started cutting on one of the front legs before moving to the back leg on the same side, showing her how it was done before prompting her to do it on the other side.

"You try on that side." He motioned towards the opposite legs and waited for her to get settled and start. He'd be watching in case she had any questions before moving on to the next part, that way he didn't have to think about one thing and be doing something else at the same time. This way, he could keep an eye on what she was doing in case he needed to give some pointers.
