GUEST: Well, as you can see, I'm kind of a cat lady.
I got it, it was, uh, shipped from Belgium.
It was $20 for the picture and $80 for the shipping.
APPRAISER: The Dutch have a long relationship with the cat.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: And they particularly like to put them on their tiles.
The scale of it and the quality of the painting indicates that it's sometime during the second half of the 19th century.
If it came to auction today, it should certainly bring over $600 and perhaps as much as $900.
GUEST: Nice.
