CatAdjuster.org has been online since 1995 and as a result the membership has provided a lot of information on subjects ranging from the Appraisal Process to Zürich claims. However, over the years the information has been posted in many different areas. What we hope to do with area is centralize access to this information and hopefully make it easier to locate.

Just received my "Cougar Paws". I got the high-top tennis shoe style. Does anyone know if the leather dura-flex style is more "flexible"? These are pretty stiff. I'm used to wearing an Ariat boot that has a pretty flexible sole and this is a big shock with the lack of flexibility---I think it will cut down on everything from balance to maneuverability. If you have a "Favorite Cougar Paw", please advise.
