I must admit, the A-cats seem very intriguing, given the very light weight. I have never seen one "in the flesh", though, and was under the impression that they were extremely expensive, and at least a bit less "bulletproof" than some of the other designs. Also wonder whether it could be a bit much for me to handle, given my limited experience with cats? But, if that is not the case and an A-cat is something that would seem to make sense for my situation, then I will explore it further.
