The ultimate cat hat right now is the glittering crystal Ethereum.

Spinning in the shiny ether upon the heads of those delightful crypto kitties.

People have gone crazy for them.

But what happens when the Ether settles and the shiny Ethereum crown slips?

What is to come of the over sired kitties?

Already we are seeing the fallout of this cat-mania.

Are we headed for a catastrophic cat welfare situation?

What will come of the likes of Ex-sired here?

A regal, once highly prized specimen, he has experienced first hand, the fall of his crown. This once proud Kittie was so sure of his status.

But how could a hat held up literally by Ether have any hope of staying up?

The word itself speaks volumes although the substance itself is not as easily contained.

Ether was first used in ancient times to describe the space beyond, between heaven and earth.

More recently an aesthetic hallucinogenic an extremely volatile gas that causes delirium when inhaled.

Now an equally volatile and arguably just as eluding crypto currency has claimed it's as it's crowning glory.

What will come of those cute little kitties who once copulated at a rate that would destroy a bionic bunnies reputation?
They are now being discarded by the way side. Cat factories just can't maintain them when they drop to a sluggish, slow or heaven forbid catatonic rate.

We are seeing those highly prized early generation kitties hit the market at a fraction of their worth and unwanted.

Thank you cat lover @agneslaczo for your Cat in a hat contest. You have given us the opportunity to raise this potential welfare catastrophe and given these forlorn felines a voice.
