The domain name, described in the listing, is available for acquisition with a reserve price set at 700,000 USD. Previously, the highest bid reached 350,000 USD, but private offsite offers have reportedly been significantly higher, within the range of 500,000 USD. The owner, who envisioned creating a dedicated online space for cat enthusiasts, cites a lack of time as the reason for selling the domain. The domain name is expected to be a valuable asset given the global population of over 600 million cats, including 74 million in the United States. The potential for online ventures related to cats is vast, encompassing activities like sharing cat pictures, pet transactions, supplies, grooming, and food. A notable monthly activity is that approximately 15,000 people directly visit the domain, while over a million searches occur for "cats" online each month. This presents a unique opportunity to leverage the domain’s instant brand recognition and global appeal. Interested parties with the necessary financial resources are encouraged to make contact to negotiate ownership of the domain, seen as a potential game-changer in the online space dedicated to cat-related ventures. The owner reiterates the presence of existing offers in the range of 500,000 USD, indicating competitive interest.
