Well, up here in the boondocks, we have lots of critters. Some of them
end up as roadkill. There ain't much humidity so if you don't get to it
pretty quick, they're inedible, even with an overnight soak. But they
are really stiff, so a couple coats of poly will seal them real good.

You're not using your imagination. Position a cat just as you want
your push stick to be, freeze the cat in that position. Lay the cat on
your wood, trace around the cat. Cut the push stick out. Viola, custom
push stick. Refreeze the cat, so you can use it as a master for when
you need more push sticks. No prob.

Yeah, yeah, I know, you could use the frozen cat as a push stick.
But, you do that and eventually you're going to run out of neighborhood
cats. This way your cats will last a lot longer.
