To prove that your cat had paid the tax, she had to wear a special collar with a medal on which was written "tax paid for May 2015". Each month you would get a new collar with the new months on. I also could pay per year and would get then 7 x 4 collars for May, June, July, August, September, November, December !
I got really furious, that was a lot of money how could poor old retirees pay for their cats, if some of them owned until 10 cats !
I decided to organize a protest march for all cat owners for the end of the month. There are already a lot of people who will participate in this march and then we will all go to the mayor's home and put as lot as possible dirty cat litter in front of his door, if he doesn't cancel this new tax ! We all want to have our cats for free !
Isn't that a shame ??
My cats protest and refuse to wear this collar, Kim even got a nervous breakdown !
PS : Don't forget that today is April 1st and that's only an April Fools prank !

Well you had me worried and I fell for the joke till I got to the end of the post. I thought that if a tax like that starts in Belgium it will soon spread to the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteI hope Kim is OK and you revived her.
I know it's a joke, but there are places in the world where it's not! Although 10 euros a month is a bit much!!
ReplyDeleteI thought you were playing April's fool jokes! Have a great day. Jo
ReplyDeleteYou should have not mentioned April 1 and let it go. A few weeks later I would remember and email you to ask when the protest march was organised?
ReplyDeleteHi Gattina - I'm glad you mentioned it was April 1st!!! I was taken in ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteDon't say that too loud, it can be just a prank but maybe someone from the Municipality could hear you....lol....
ReplyDeleteI was getting ready to come join you in that protest march! My goodness, let us hope this gives none of the politicians any ideas! The photos are wonderful and you are a number one prankster!
ReplyDeleteFun post and so glad it wasn't true ~
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend coming to you,
artmusedog and carol
You had me on that one! Love the cats protesting, or maybe they are yawning!
ReplyDeleteYou had me all angry for the poor retirees who just wanted to have their cats! That's a great one!!!
ReplyDeleteYou little imp you! It's a good thing you explained at the end because since I am reading the post on April 2 and since I am old I have already forgotten about April Fool's Day yesterday. Without the explanation, I would totally have believed you. (I'm still thinking about that not-real protest march; it would have been quite funny if true and you are just the girl who could have organized it )))
ReplyDeleteI almost missed that last line! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeletehahahahahha. I believed you! I got outraged that you were forced to pay a hefty monthly tax for each cat. You are a great prankster, Gattina. hahahaha
ReplyDeleteoh you got me.. I was full of indignation there for you.. thankfully it was not needed :)
