Default A Pocket Fisherman for cats

Hi!

What I mean is, a reporter once was interviewing Popeil Senior, and the reporter tried to get a rise out of him by saying "That thing [the Pocket Fisherman] isn't really very useful, is it?" To which Mr. Popeil answered like the perfect salesman he was by saying "It's not for using, it's for giving."

If I was the computer game marketer, that's also the tack I'd take. I'd pitch it not to cat owners but to people looking for gifts for cat owners.

Just my point oh two.

Best,
