    Well, you realize it needs a repot, so that's good. You don't want to divide it, so I can't ask for a division So, at the risk of someone jumping on me for saying this; as much as I love Catts, and they are one of my favorite 'chids. I don't really think they are the most aesthetic plants around when not in bloom. Of course some are more homely than others, but I don't think yours is 'ugly'. It probably falls some where in the middle. I don't think I'd mess with all those roots as that's why its blooming well. IMHO, I'd let it be After a repot, of course.
