Field notes
The four named strategies map institutional-finance language onto cat behavior: treat-supply macro, a 6 a.m. door-meowing momentum trade, sofa-under crisis hedging, and HVAC-filter-backed securities based on shed fur. Its risk table assigns carrier and vacuum sightings extreme sensitivity, while the continuity plan sends the portfolio to cat daycare—by carrier. The footer explicitly says the firm is fictional and the displayed performance figures are invented.
