Cats, cats, cats!

[Vancecrash]

Ok, so I have hundreds of cats. I realize there are few that are considered collectable compared to the abundance of other types, but what should I be looking for? Is there a good tutorial? Is the ID forum as useful for cats as the other types?

Marlowe Peterson (I think with Larry Castle again) produced a thin book/booklet on cats that's long out of print but not too hard to track down - it's pretty slim but about the only attempt to specifically look at cats eyes (no idea where my copy is... must hunt it out). They're still under appreciated and have little financial worth. Off the top of my head - I'd try and get all the vitro variants, particularly looking out for 'hybrid' types where two colours blend. The original Marble King 'St Mary's' four colour cats are a nice find (there are later Marble King reissues and Marble King two colour cats). There are a few interesting oddities produced by Bogard that are worth tracking down too.
