Create/Transfer a Test Cat
New cats can be created by the contract owner. Cats can be sent from one address to another with the transfer method.
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 .
