Every time i look at my cat and worry about how overweight she is, I remember the fat Cat savings account I had with the Credit Union when I was a kid. Every year they would send me a birthday card with a dollar in it and every year my mom made me go down to the bank – she was the manager – and deposit it into my account – and account that she was the co -signer of so I wasn’t able to take out money all by myself.

I haven;t been inside a credit union in close to 15 years now, and i wonder if they still do the fat cat savings program, or if it was stopped becuase so much emphasis is being put on being a healthy weight. There are tonnes of diet things out there – like quicktrim, exercises machines and other lose weight aids, but think about it. Santa used to smoke a pipe. When was the last time you saw a depiction of Santa in print or on television with him holding a pipe?

Most, if not all cartoons shown in North America do not show smoking of any kind, in fact, I’m pretty sure that smoking in a movie bumps its rating up to pg-13 right a way, so I’m assuming that the credit union no longer offers the fat cat program. I wonder what they put in its place?
