Everybody who has a cat knows how bad they are at managing money. They’re always like, “Can I have a couple of dollars?” and then they never pay it back.
Quite a surprise, then, to read that an Australian bank actually issued a credit card to a cat named Messiah.
The bank later apologized for the lapse in judgment, which occurred when Messiah’s owner decided to test the bank’s identity security system.

You know, sometimes, life is easier to them. If you wanted to get a credit card and you are a legal guy you will have to fill in lots of documents, whereas cats won´t.
