Heartbreaking yes, but you've put the reputation of your business before a bit of short term cash. Hats off to you Mark :)

cats do like a bit of fresh concrete
must be the smell
many garage floors i have laid have cat prints in them
you explain to people about keeping cats indoors when concreting,but they still let them out
