Hi all!
I bought this catt for $3 at a local nursery, and I want to bring it back to life. I'm good at keeping my own plants alive, but I'm new to orchids (I have two phals and a catt that're doing just fine) and I would love some help with this.

To my beginner's eye it seems like there are three problems:
1) It needs to be repotted or mounted, and now's a good time-- it seems like it's in a growth cycle.
2) It's far too dry-- the pseudobulbs look like a 150 year old man on a bad day.
3) Whatever the discoloration on that leaf is needs to be taken care of.

I'd like to mount it, as I've heard Catts do really well mounted. I have NZ sphag and a nice piece of hardwood driftwood that's rough on one side and smooth on another.

I could have sworn I had a specific question... Oh yeah-- help please? Is a good way to help this little guy to get it out of this non-breathing junky medium and mount it?
