What does "2 quarters of good cats" look like?

PRO; A2A; Shropshire Archives: Catalogue of the Shropshire deeds and papers
of the Smythe Family of Acton Burnell

Reference: 1514/254; Agreement between Richard de Welstaunestowe Prior of
Preone and Richard Burnel lord of Longeley.; Creation dates: 1292
Scope and Content
Uncertainties had arisen over the payment the men of the village of Preen
were accustomed to pay of 2 quarters of cats each year on the feast of the BVM
in March to the lord of Longleye. The parties to the agreement with the
ascent of the Prior of Wenlok agreed thus: that Richard Burnell for himself and
his heirs should grant to the men of Preone the ditch (fossatum) which appears
between the lord's wood and the fields of Preone, and the same ditch to plant
and inclose the so much from the ?thorntrees (spinnis) of his wood by view
of his forester as from the wood of the Prior of Preen.
The men of Preen are to give to Richard Burnel and his heirs 2 quarters of
good cats each year on the feast of Blessed Mary in March in the township of
Preene for the said advantage and easement
Witnesses: brother Stephen then reeve of Lydleye knt, Sirs Roger de
Buterleye and Ivo de Clynton, knts, of Hopton,....... de Eachse, Walter Sprenghose,

I suspect a misreading (or mis-scan) for OATS...

Dear Adrian,

I would also agree, a misread (either human or mechanical) must
be involved. As the tenant in chief of a tenacious tabby, I would
insist that arms should be quartered, but not cats........

As to misreadings, I find the part of the entry referring to
'.... the
ascent of the Prior of Wenlok ' would be otherwise quite intriguing.
As opposed to seeking the Prior's agreement, this appears to be seeking
out the Prior's ancestry.

Cheers,

John
