Create/Transfer a Test Cat
If you would like to try transferring a cat with the bridge without creating your own test cat, please contact us on Discord or the TokenBridge forum with your wallet address, and we will send you a test cat to play with 😻.
With a test cat, you can proceed from NiftyWallet Transfer or MEW transfer instructions.
If you deployed your own contracts and have access to the ownership address, you can also create a test cat using the createPromoKitty method in the KittyCore contract.

Select method: createPromoKitty
_genes: uint256 integer
_owner: 0x address of contract owner. The
