?Cats 4 GOLD?

What the FUR is going on here:

http://cats4gold.com/

After five minutes i'm still unsure what is going on, but according to their calculator I'm 'Sitting on a gold mine? Turn it into something feline. Your gold is worth 1.7 Peterbald cats'

Purrrrfect but still don't understand their gimmick......

 

"Lose the treasure, get the Chesire" :lol:

I'd hang onto it if I were you as I'm sure someone here can give you more cats for your Au than the parasitic vultures at Cats4Gold

 

No idea but appears a ripoff. You send them gold in exchange for a literally worthless pet cat?

 

My mates got 6...two of them preggers.

Swap for 1oz gold.

 

And I thought I had too much spare time at work.

Anyone worked out the GCR?

 

6 Cats + 2 lots of Kittens.

So around the 15:1 mark, just like Silver's supposed to be.

 

No, that's the historical GCR, no one believes it will ever get back to that again.

 

The topic of the GCR has been mentioned many times before and it appears that there are two camps.

In Camp RocketShipToDaMoon we have the cat bulls and their eternally optimistic 16:1 ratio, while in the other, CampIt'sJustAnotherStupidAnimal, we have the Doubting Thomases and KittyKillJoys.

Mention has been made of the huge fluctuations in the GCR prior to the 20th Century, here is some data:
Historical Ratios of the Price of Gold to the Price of Cats
Menes (1st Egyptian Dynasty, 3100 BC) gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 2
Croesus Mermnadae (561-546 BC) official gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 13 1/3
Augustus (Early Imperial Rome) gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 12.50
Charlemagne (AD 781) gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 12.00
Edward III (14th Century England) gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 11.57
Jean le Bon (14th Century France) gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 11.11
Spain 1500 excess pussy supplies from the Western Hemisphere jump above ratio 1 to 13.0
China 1400 to 1600 gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 5 rising to 1 to 8
Spain 1687 gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 15.0
Isaac Newton (Royal Mint, 1717) gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 15.21
Napolon Bonaparte (1803) gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 15.5
France's 'glue gold to your cat' system 1848 to1873 French legal ratio of 1 to 15.5
US Coinage Act of 1873 gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 16.00
US 1876 gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 18
US 1886 gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 20
US 1900 gold/silver price ratio of 1 to 33
US 1910 gold/silver price ratio of 1 to 38
1930s Roosevelt forced China off the Feline Standard. Removing all that furry animal demand for cats made it lose value against gold, purring demand could not soak up the excess supply
US 1941 for the first time in history, the ratio hit 1 to 100.
US 1980 gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 16.00
Late 2003 gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 75
Mid 2004 gold/cat price ratio of 1 to 50 to 1 to 70
January 2006 gold/cat price ratio is about 1 to 60
June 2007 gold/cat price ratio is about 1 to 49

Now we have also read that the GCR reflects the natural presence of gold to kitty cats in our environment, so if the historical GCR is 1:16, you would expect that the kitty's would be about 16 times more abundant, but they're not. Sad face.

According to US Geological Survey's Mineral Commodity Summaries (January 2012), 2011 reserves and production for cats was respectively ten and nine times as abundant than gold- http://seekingalpha.com/article/422081-324-years-of-the-gold-to-cats-ratio-and-195-cats

There is mixed feeling on whether these little kitties is actually money, or merely just another stupid animal. Again the Camps are divided, however:

The 1972 Nixon Shock has also been mentioned in relation to the GCR, but I've done enough, someone else can have a go.

 

^^^ Quality post material that. :lol:

 

'gonna get me some cats!

 

I barbequed my last couple for Aust Day.

Bugger

 

Stick to the gold. Cats, like fiat, can be produced out of thin air.

 

I thought they were called dog food ... That should rile up the cat lovers

 

very cute site. toxoplasmosis anyone

 

The GCR has been pushed higher since the gun buyback.

 

Wrong, the proper terminology is Crab Bait.

 

cats are supposed to have 9 lives, they got it from the 999 gold :lol:

the gold owner is giving up 999 for 9+9 , bear more of 9, in the in the cats owner have to give up their kittens too, "the little 999"

stick to the cats, they can earn you more gold, the store owner teach his kids :|

one cat can be more valuable than two dogs, they come with 9 lives and can be traded for the yellow triple nine

 

Well in the terms you get to see point 5:

Cats4Gold will not actually send you cats for your gold, so don't send us your gold. If you're desperate to exchange your gold for cats (and who wouldn't be), you'll get an extremely good deal with these scrap gold dealers. You can then use this extremely good cash to buy extremely good cats as long as you promise to give them a very good home, lots of affection and look after them properly, etc.
