i guess cats are worth a lot. we had a guy come buy the other day at work and bought 19 cats that we had laying in the back off of vehicles that had exhaust work done and he paid $1500 for the 19 cats. if i knew they worth that much, i wouldn't have tossed mine. i like the braided wire idea, can't cut through that to easy. pretty sad though what extent people go to for money.
