You’re forgetting cats have 9 lives, so maybe the cat died for the first time and is now bouncing back to life.
Meaning that we are in the midst of reaching the full potential of the cats second life, which should be somewhere around the 10 dollar mark.
So by the time we reach the 9th life it could be in triple digits. So i think the dead cat bounce might have been accurate. Isn’t it great we are only on life number 2.
