Ashton: There’s so much I am going to need to pay for my chicken emporium: There’s rent, chicken, chicken, and chicken! Good thing I found some coins under the sofa cushions. I’m not sure if it’s going to be enough for very much chicken, though.
Newton: Don’t worry, Ash. I’m here to help you achieve your dream. I’m a venture cat-italist.
Ashton: What’s a venture cat-italist? I’ve never heard of that before.
Newton: It’s someone who invests in promising new companies like yours when they are small and just getting started.
Ashton: Oh! That sounds like what I need.
Newton: I understand you are just starting out and can’t repay me immediately. So instead, why don’t you give me a percentage of the chicken emporium? Let’s say 51%? *wink*
Ashton: Let me think about it, Newton. This is a really big decision.
Ashton: What do you think? Should I let Newton have own part of my chicken emporium?
If you missed them, catch up on all of Ashton’s chicken capers.
The Island Cats says
Don’t fall for it, Ashton! Before you know it, there will be a corporate takeover!
Laila and Minchie says
Maybe you could go on the tv show “Shark Tank”!
Melissa & Truffles says
I don’t trust your big brother, Ashton…he’s up to something. Maybe you could ask your kitty friends to invest in a portion of your new business?
Hannah and Lucy says
We don’t think you should be trusting Newton – he looks like spiv!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Fur Everywhere says
We don’t know much about maths, but 51% sounds like a lot, Ashton…
Ellen Pilch says
51 % is a lot, how about no interest, but free chicken for life- actually, you may be better off with the 51%.
Susan and the gang from Life with Dogs and Cats says
Do your research before you invest — or let anyone invest in you!

Random Felines says
we think Waffles might give you better terms
Talent Hounds says
I say just do it!
Annabelle says
No No No Ashton don’t fall for that. You’ll be giving up controlling interest in your own company. Start small and build! Mr Jinx will help you. I think he has a kitty bank somewhere.
Athena and Marie says
Love it!

Kitties Blue says
We think that would be a BIG mistake! What about asking each of your friends to give you one green paper as a gift. Bet that would get you enough to get the business started. Nice wink, Newton! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calistsa Jo
Christy Paws says
I don’t know, Ashton. Newton looks like he’s up to something to me. I agree with the others. I think you’d be better off starting small and asking your friends for help. I’m in! Good luck.

Summer says
Hmmm… I think some negotiation is in order. Make that a LOT of negotiation!
Clooney says
Ashton, tell that guy to stick it! If I were you, I’d keep combing the territory for more coins!
Emma and Buster says
Ashton, go get a lawyer, LOL!!!!!
The Swiss Cats says
51% is far too much ! Negotiate, Ashton, negotiate ! Purrs
Cathy Keisha says
NOOOOOOO! Much as I like shady characters like Newton, I hate to see my furrends swindled. Maybe *I* could make you a better deal.
Nerissa's Life says
You’ve gotta negotiate him down for a smaller percentage, I think. You don’t wanna give him controllin’ interest. You and I seriously need to talk ’bout this futher ’cause, as you know, I’m startin’ up my nip farm and investin’ in nip futures. We can help each other out, for sure.
Purrs,

Maxwell, Faraday & Allie says
Allie: Never trust a sibling. *looks meaningfully at Faraday*
Robin says
Hmmm… I think that Ashton has been watching a lot of Shark Tank. I think you could raise the money another way 🙂 They always say you shouldn’t mix family and business anyway.
Annie says
No, Ashton. He looks like a shyster. (Did you see that wink?) Start small, I say, and keep it Ashton’s Chicken Emporium.
Connie says
never give up control of your idea
I think you can get a far better deal on kickstarter.com
