Default Aussie cat gets Credit Card

The Bank of Queensland has apologised after granting a credit card to pet
cat in Melbourne.

South Morang resident Katherine Campbell obtained a card for her cat
"Messiah", which was attached to the woman's existing account.

It has been reported she was testing the bank's identity screening.

The Bank of Queensland says people who apply for credit cards must sign to
confirm the information they have provided is true and not misleading.

Meow! We don't do credit cards. People buy food for us.

Years ago, there was an article about a bank that issued a credit card to
"Mr. Readers Digest." That was in the days when credit cards -- not just
credit card applications -- would routinely arrive in the mail without any
need to apply for them. When I first arrived on campus as a new hire, I had
a little stack of credit cards waiting for me. I destroyed most of them.

This happened last year to my Rumble. He got a pre approved for a $5000.00
visa card with 9.90% interest. The name on the approval was Rumble the Cat.
I found out that my old and I mean old pharmacy; the a@@holes, sold their
customers information which they say they don't to other agencies.

The LAST thing I need is cats with credit cards.

Smokey would order a mountain of porn, including National Geographic
and Playboy, and Nocturne...I'd be investigated for terrorist
involvement in no time.

What about Tyche and Kumani? Antipersonnel mines and FOOD?

If the Furballs had a credit card Dunzi would buy a ton of DaNip and
Sarrasine would be online ordering mousies and Hills S/D by the sack

Yeah. That, stuff with "exotic babes" (read lionesses, tigresses and
lynx, um, lynxesses) and stuff with Angelina Jolie.

Tyche and Kumani? Yeah, Tyche would order food, and also those tubs of
pure lard, and request they come in boxes where she can FIT. She might
even want her own suitcase to FIT in all the time!

Kumani, I don't know. Probably the light bug. Or food made out of
light bugs. I don't know how to tell her that you can't eat what comes
out of the laser pointer.

Aww! It would be on par with having to tell a small child that Santa
doesn't exist!
