Love your semse of humor, Mark. I think the success rate for moving a healthy, sleeping cat with a pizza shovel without waking it would be very close to zero. Therefore, anyone actually accomplishing this feat shoud be well rewarded.

The Pulitzer committee should be contacting you any day now.

Are you actually thinking of making this app? It might work!

Cat people love anything cat-related as well we know.

I do think it would get well-liked.

Sadly, no, I'm not planning on doing his myself. I don't have the tech skills.

I'm one of these people who has an abundance of ideas with the "curse" of them often being in areas that are not in my wheelhouse or skillset. My thought is to start sharing the ideas more broadly as I'm always hoping that someone will do them. This is, obviously, a fairly silly one.

I have another (different) app idea that I just pitched to someone who works in tech ... they seemed to think that the space is just too oversaturated and that it would be difficult to find a specific audience to market to... I'm not sure I agree.

I keep running into the concept of a "value proposition".

Glad you like how I think, it's appreciated.

As an aside, I have a whole collection of business ideas I've had over the years... some of them are literary community related.

I'm not in the position to take up these concepts and I've pitched some of them to arts councils and different levels of gov't as well as individuals. It's hard to get ideas off the group.

Apart from the "Value proposition" ... I also keep running into the "seed funds" issue.
