In the current economic climate, a bank may not seem like the most secure place for your hard-earned cash, but Peter Neumann from Germany found somewhere even less secure to deposit his pay packet.
Neumann had approached his bank to ask for a replacement 500 Euro note claiming that the original was eaten by his cat!
His bank, however, refused to replace the note as Neumann could not provide evidence of his claims. The bank needed to examine undigested scraps from the banknote in order to ascertain whether the cat had chowed down on real money, and to ensure all pieces came from the same banknote, in case small fragments from different notes were fed to the money-hungry kitty as part of a fraudulant feline fiasco.
Neumann said that it is now too late and any evidence would have long since been thrown away with the cat litter, so it is unlikely he’ll get his money back. Next time his cat eats his money, he should really insist on a receipt.

It’s not unusual for a cat to need rescuing from a dangerous situation by the local fire department, but it’s quite rare for the lifeboats to be called out.
