Any takers??
Cats a good bet, but are they the `perfect pussies'?

DARWIN betting agency Sportsbet has opened a unique book on success heading Geelong's way at season's end.
Punters can take a combination of four Geelong successes in a book the agency is calling ``Perfect Pussies''.
The options include a Geelong AFL flag, VFL flag, Gary Ablett to win the Brownlow Medal and Joel Selwood to win the rising star award.
The odds for one of those events happening was yesterday at $1.45, two was at $7.50, three at $23, four at $81, while none of them happening was second favourite at $4.
Wayne Bent, who frames the GFL market for the bookmaker, said punters could take any individual option, or a number of them in a multi-bet at differing odds.
``It's a bit of fun. The best thing about it was coming up with the name Perfect Pussies,'' he said.
``You can take either (option), mix them all up in a multi-bet in different combinations which will multiply to different odds.''
In their different markets, Sportsbet has Geelong as favourite to win the AFL premiership at $3.30, favourite to win the VFL flag at $2.70, Ablett as favourite for the Brownlow at $3.40 and Selwood at $3 as second favourite behind Collingwood's Scott Pendlebury ($2) for the NAB Rising Star.
