Is her name by any chance Pepper? This must be your cat then. :D:D

I have also heard stories of declaring tehir Cats and other pets (but mostly people with several dozen cats) as dependants on tax forms.

Maybe that's getting carried away. I NEVER did that. tempted but never.

I did not originate Cat's MEOW but I named my Cat sitting business that. Five yeras later I'm a little successful ;)

I did originate the saying "Have a MEOWY Day!" :)

A dog getting a degree from Harvard!
Hopefully my Old English Sheepdog does not hear that since he would want to get a "sheepskin" too!

Actually for travel programs, Murpf has been known to have some point earning programs for Hotel points..........

Dogs have masters; cats have staff.

Staff? Since when do we get a salary? Cats have servants!

Now the US Post Office has new rules whereas your card needs to be signed AND you need to show ID. Some people have come in, they say, with fake IDs--you know, to buy stamps and all...
Overzealous? Well, that's our government fer ya!\
And yet I have heard many tall tale of credit cards being swiped at stores like Target where the picture on the ID or card was that of someone's dog or cat :D
Sometimes the clerk doesnt look, he just needs to make it appear that he did for teh sake of the overhead security camera watching him!

Using a Simon Visa (gift card), often the clerk asks for ID, says "Thanks," hands it back, continues. Never noticing the name on my license is not Simon Visa Malls.

:D

My experience is the same as mahasamatman. I haven't signed a credit
card in over 20 years, and the only place where I haven't been able to
use them is at the Post Office. (Except now they have the automatic
machines at the Post Office where I sometimes use them.) I get asked for
an ID about 30% of the time at other locations. I've never been asked for
an ID over the internet or on the phone. A few times I have been
asked to sign the card by a clerk, and I refuse.
Most, but not all of my cards, say "Not Valid Unless Signed"

And should we wonder why credit fraud is at an all-time high? But since there is no voter fraud in states where it is illegal to ask for ID that must be a media myth, right?:rolleyes:

Once you figure out a way to claim your cat as an deduction on your taxes, you can get her a credit card.

Time to start taking advantage of your cats good credit and do a Cat-o-rama.

Just took a look at a couple of my accounts online and see that Amex appears to require a SSN for an authorized user, but Chase does not.

I'll have to start watching the bonus points for AUs offers - with two dogs and a cat they could clean up. I am afraid my German Shepherd might take it to far though - she already watches too much TV. No telling what she will buy if she turns on the home shopping network while I'm not home.

Do you realize when they "caved" they just pulled your credit report using your name/address and on that report it listed your social security number? They wanted you to provide it to make sure they pulled the correct report (and it really was you), in the end, they still have your social security number.

[QUOTE=mahasamatman;9619328#4 is definitely not required. I have never signed the back of a credit card. I always write "SEE ID" on it with a big Sharpie. The only place that won't accept it that way is in person at the Post Office.[/QUOTE]

They will not accept it because your card is now VOID. 99% of places are just not as well trained in credit card acceptance. If your card is not signed it is not valid, SEE ID is not your signature, hence, the card is invalid.

A Cats good life
 

About two years ago there was a client who chartered a plane to transport her cat to New York from the Bahamas. The Cat had the entire plane to itself, had an expensive catered meal, drank Fiji water and had a custom "cat nap" pillow integrated into one of the captain chairs. The client then requested that the trip be "flight followed", meaning that someone called the client every 20minutes to say how the cat was "feeling". This was a house cat, nothing special! With or without a credit card, this cat is living a better life than most of us:cool:
