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:
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.”
—William Morris Hughes (1864–1952)
