Inro of blooming plum tree with nekomata netsuki

Purchased this Inro and netsuke from an antique mall in south st. Louis in 2012 and sold it last year on ebay. It was bid on aggressively and fetched a price far above the listing.

The netsuke i believe is a cat demon. I am no expert and was nicely suprised to find my intuition may have some validity. The design on the inro is of a plum tree in bloom.
