You should have seen the size of the cat. It's meow had a better high 
end than the Polk. I followed the link provided by our resident 
schoolmarm and discovered that cats were the usual substitutes for 
pigs in the pig in a poke scam and resulted in another, often used, 
saying "let the cat out of the bag." I also checked Wickipedia.

Matt Polk is going to be very upset to find his well known company 
unrecognized in the language's reference of record. I guess James 
Knox Polk, as a President, outranks the head of a company that used 
to manufacture audiophile equipment.
