what is the value of a dead cat?

Question

is it priceless

Answer 1

The dead cat has no value, its the memories of that cat when it was alive that are priceless.

Answer 2

It all depends on what age it was before it expired. The value decreases with age although in some cultures (Egypt for example) the value is constant and mostly very high and can amount to the value of 10 teetotal wives.

If the said cat was male the value would be halved at death but, if female, then the value is multiplied by 14.36 - the average number of litter it would be expected to have in a lifetime.

Also if it was a good mousecatcher the value could be 8% higher.

Answer 3

I once 'read' a series of cartoon books on the very topic. The first one was called '100 uses for a dead cat'. So apparently you can make a living out of even the idea of a dead cat.
Unless this is some deep psychological question, in which case I would have to offer a cautious 'companionship'.

Answer 4

Well I think the hole question is disgusting - to see how much a dead cat is worth

A cat is a loved animal that can never have an expense valuation, it will always have sentimental value and no one can buy that, or take the pain away of the loss, of one of those intelligent, loyal and loving creatures!!--

Answer 5

Answer 6

Put it on ebay...

... on a more serious note, interesting question because economists are beginning studies to equate such matters... basically taking ecological factors into account when making economic decisions.

For example, an area notorious for dead cats may have a higher problem with rats and mice, so not a prosperous area for a food factory.

Well thats my analogy for the day!

Answer 7

If it's Joan of Arc's ashes then quite alot.

I read today that what the French have kept safe for centuries as Joan's ashes are most probably that of a dead cat! Doh!
