Does anyone think the decline in cat purchases and the ensuing production of less new cats might at least in part, be due to the state of the general economy? ie. Less jobs = less money = less toys. And even if you kept your job, rising mortgage rates + rising fuel prices + rising food prices = less disposable income available for toys as well.
It might just be due to economic factors. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
Hell yes. Gas is killing me, power is killing me, and last week a conversation I had with a small brewery owner in Portland illuminated the fact that hops have gone from $4 a bushel to $40 a bushel in the last year and beer is getting ready to skyrocket in price
I make more money than I ever have in my life but I'm as poor as I've ever been. I can't sell my F18 because I can't afford to replace it. Otherwise, I would have had a new F18 6 months ago. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
