Speaking of cats... don't know if any of you guys would be interested, but thought I should mention this to you because it could be a real sleeper in making a lot of money with a small investment of $50,000. I'd recommend to do a quickie one week trip down south to check it out.

A group of us are considering investing in a large cat ranch near Matamoras, Mexico. We intend to start rather small with about one million cats. Each cat averages about 12 kittens per year and skins can be sold for about 35 cents for the white ones and up to 50 cents for the black. This will give us 12 million cat skins per year to sell at an average price around 42 cents, making our revenue about $5 million a year. This averages out to over $16,000 per day - excluding Saturdays and Sundays.

A good Mexican cat man can skin about 55 cats per day at a wage of $11.60 per day. It will take 720 men to operate the ranch, so the net pre-tax profit would be about $8,200 per day. Each $50,000 investment would be recovered in 6.1 days. This beats any banking bonuses, Savings Plan, Profit Sharing and most everything including the Chicken Ranch in LaGrange.

Now, the cats would be fed on rats, exclusively. Rats multiply four times as fast as cats. We would start a rat ranch adjacent to our cat farm. If we start with a million rats, we will have 4 rats per cat per day. The rats will feed on the carcasses of the cats we skin. This will give each rat a quarter of a cat. You can see by this that the business is a clean operation - self supporting and really automatic throughout. The cats will eat the rats and the rats will eat the cats, and we will get the skins.

Let me know if you're interested. As you can image, we are rather particular who we want to get into this as well as limiting the number of investors.

Eventually, it is our hope to cross the cats with snakes for they will skin themselves twice a year. This would save the labor cost of skinning as well as give us two skins for one cat.

Cordially,

I. B. "Cat" Skinner

PS - We may contact you concerning a position with this operation.
Possibly recruiting foreman for the cat skinning department.

Bypass the rat idea and feed dead cats directly to the live ones?

Hm, maybe not enough dead cats to go around to jump-start the scheme.

With cats eating rats and rats eating cats, perhaps you could get Dr Seuss to invest in it?

So what do the cat skins get used for???

Suspect the latter.

BTW we would have to keep an eye for this:-
