What's the best mic for $2.49 to mic my cat?

I would use my Neumann U47 on our cats. You can hire one for 15 minutes for $2.49. Should be enough. And the sound is specatular.

You need a pair of LDCs about 8 feet apart, head high...

Set them up, stand right between the two, grab the cat by the tail, and swing...

Medieval police sirens. Nothing quite so painful to the ear. The change in pitch comes from the doppler effect.


HIGH SPL WARNING:

Swinging cats can cause serious damage to ribbon microphones, eardrums, nearby upholstery, and the skin on your forearms. Do not combine cat swinging with alcohol, as serious injury or death could result. Cat swinging is not for everyone. Ask your doctor if you are healthy enough for feline activity before you start cat swinging. Some restrictions and limitations apply. See store for details.
