I pay 5 bucks for the 12 and sell em individually...

Okay, now I'm having flashbacks to business school again!
I am absolutely certain the first time I ever heard of "widgets" was MacroEconomics, in learning The Law of Supply and Demand.
I had the professor who wrote the book, and back then I wondered if he invented the term. That was looooong before it was something on your desktop!
In this case, I definitely added value to the cat including healing it, feeding it, transporting it, renting a sales space and advertising it.
(Honestly, all the jargon aside, because of his age, I did everything that I could to make sure he was going to be ready to breed ASAP, including immediately healing him, cuddling him, and putting him out for sale with milk as well as food. I thought about getting him a mate, but when you're 93, you don't have a lot of breeding cycles to waste!)
