Cats...

Boy-O-Boy! That's not even funny! I've seen one cat around these parts ever that was anything close to that. I have seen some cats around here that would look really cool as a taxidermy mount in anyones house but they wouldn't bring a fraction on the price the market is giving for those cats. It seems that the square inches of white fur with nice black spots is all they are really interested in.

This is the one posted by mondomuttruner might not have brought as much money but is the coolest looking cat I've yet to see.

What do you all think this cat would have brought at the western auctions?

That is a very well spotted cat. It would of brought good money if it was long furred and had a full white spotted belly. I saw a lot of pale cats that did not have the fur or the belly that brought only $ 100 or $200. The top cats went well but the others still did not bring a lot. The eastern cats that I have seen do not have the fur that ours do. Dewey

Thats a nice looking cat! Not sure what it would bring but I'd darn sure just keep it for $200.

I found a picture of a cat that David and Pat treed for a lady a few years ago. This cat was out of Northern MN. I think. How does this stack up with the cats out West?

Seems small but the belly is 70 % of your value. My best cat brought 700. My worse cat brought 123 just because of the belly difference.
