#2 Sooooo The Bank of Queensland grudgingly goes off and fixes a procedural loophole that is just too embarrasing to leave open. Much like every financial institution in the West.

Why does fraud happen? Because there's no real financial penalty to the banks for allowing to happen.

#3 Wait, if my cats can get CC, does this mean they will be able to repay me for they food, and even buy me stuff to show they love me? Cool!

#4 Careful on the cat's credit card. If for some reason your cat can't sign it and you sign it instead, it's forgery. This topic has already been explored on Married With Children. I am assuming that the forgery scenario would apply to you and your cat as well as it did Al and his dog.

#5 Married With Children. It's where every lessons in life are to be found. Is there ANYTHING this serie can't teach to the modern man and woman, I ask you?

#6 Bank issues credit card to cat.

"Messiah the cat" may be part of a moggy terror
cell supplying rocket launchers in exchange for Whiskettes and Snappy Tom.

Seriously, it was Katherine Campbell who created the false belief that her cat was eligible for a card - she should apologise for misrepresentation
and wasting the BoQ's time.

#7 A secondary card on a credit card account is not quite the same as the cat having applied for it's own credit card. All onus is on the primary card holder and the primary card holder is responsible for all secondary applications.

The problem is not the bank, it's Katherine, who submitted a falsified secondary application.

Used to work for Citybank Visa. If I had a buck for every application in the name of "Fluffy", "Rover" and "Buster" that I threw out in my years there, I'd have amassed almost $100.

#8 Oh sure, banks are the victims of fraudulent customers. Poor banks. /tears

If I actually could get a buck for every pre-approved credit application that show up in my snailmailbox, I'd be rich.

#9 I imagine there would be a quite different reaction from certain elements if the cat had been named, oh I don't know, how about 'Mohammed'?
That would obviously be an anti-Muslim act.

#10 What I love about banks is that they charge you extra for basic security fraud prevention they should be taking care of on their own.
