This is NOT a joke. It is real. This sicko IS trying to sell the cat. The $4.50 shipping is for a plush toy and that is ALL he is willing to spend on shipping. This is what he posted to me in an email after I asked him.

He emailed another person on the site I got this from. He said to her that if this auction goes well he is going to sell other live *plushes*. However, this is heresay from this person.

As for beleiving her. I do. I have no reason to mistrust a person who wants to put the animal's welfare first.
