Demo/The Cat Empire is an independent 5-track instrumental demo released by The Cat Empire in 2000. It was never released for retail sale but was sold at performances in clubs and bars when The Cat Empire were just beginning their career. The demo consists of only three original Cat Empire musicians, Felix Riebl, Ollie McGill and Ryan Monro.
A copy was recently sold on online auction website eBay for approximately 350 AUD. It was rumoured that a roadie or close friend of the band was selling early demos on the 2009 UK tour.

Famous quotes containing the words cat and/or empire:
“The black cat does not die. Those same books, if I am not mistaken, teach that the black cat is deathless. Deathless as evil. It is the origin of the common superstition of the cat with nine lives.”
—Peter Ruric, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Edgar G. Ulmer. Hjalmar Poelzig (Boris Karloff)
“Let Rome in Tiber melt and the wide arch
Of the ranged empire fall! Here is my space.
Kingdoms are clay; our dungy earth alike
Feeds beast as man. The nobleness of life
Is to do thus; when such a mutual pair
And such a twain can do ‘t, in which I bind,
On pain of punishment, the world to weet
We stand up peerless.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
