Cat tax

This morning I got a link sent to me from a friend, saying that from now on we have to pay cat tax. I'm like, isn't it typical ze Swiss? Now we have to pay for everything, and I was already formulating my defence. My cats are indoor cats, they don't catch any birds (except for the odd one that crosses over my balcony, like yesterday, when I found a pile of feathers out there) and so on.

Anyway, I was reading and reading and there was a lot of information from all sorts of organizations. And remember, this was in the morning before I had my coffeine shots.

But after a while, I realized there was too much info, and knowing my friend with two foxes behind each ear (does that work in English?), I stopped the response email I was writing in my head and realized, hey it's 1st of April!

Good for me, who wants to be seen as a dumb blonde?

PS. My Australian friend didn't think it was a joke, down under apparently you pay for having a cat. And she's not a blonde.

I didn't say that article wasn't supposed to be a 'joke' I never read it, but that it's not that strange to register cats(esp if you think registering dogs is normal).
