Is your local cat's home minted?

Inspired by the will thread, I was thinking since you regularly hear of people threatening to leave everything to the cat's home some must follow through. Some of the followers through must be quite wealthy. So statistically that would tell us that there's at least one cat's home that got an absolute sh1tload of money at some point.

So I was wondering if anyone here has some tails of cat-based extravagance to tell us. Is there a cat rescue place near you that is pretty much a palace for cats where people are employed to brush every cat daily and where they only get fed fairtrade organic cat food. Perhaps a place where the people running the cat's home have squandered it all on fast cars for themselves and left the cats in squallor? Maybe an honest well-run cats home that expanded massively to take in half the strays in the country?

By "cat home" do you mean "the pound"?

if so, no, its a bleak place & all animals are disposed off after 3 days.

I thought people threatened to leave money to the cat, not the cat's home ... I mean surely that just means investing money in your own house?

I was a student in a house share in Rathmines a few years ago. One morning I was woken from bed to the knock on the door from a man who introduces himself as a property manager. Naturally I assume we're in trouble about something, so I invite him into the kitchen and prepare for a bollocking.

Nope. The old landlady is dead, says he, and has only gone and left everything to the cats.

Bit of a surreal feeling, sitting on your worktop in your underwear, half asleep, with someone telling you the cats are your landlord ... the cats want you out.

There are plenty of cats' homes in Dublin. Not sure what goes on in them. Lots of cats plotting ways to swindle old ladies out of their investments I presume.

Cats want everyone out. Worse than ****ing seagulls.

I remember reading that Dusty Springfield left a significant portion of her estate to her cat.

Most rescues in Ireland are struggling just to survive. They have to raise almost every cent themselves through fundraising and most don't get any kind of goverment funding at all. Last year 2 million euro was given by the goverment to animal rescues,divided amongst them. Some of them might only have received a donation of 100 euros. Not to worry though, the horse racing and greyhound racing industries received 20 million euros from the government. Support your local rescue folks.
