Philanthropist Cat Donates Spare Lives To Local Community Felines

In an act of unswerving generosity, a philanthropist cat in North Swindon, who wishes to remain unnamed, has donated it's spare nine lives to the local cat community.

'' I've been fortunate in my ten years to have very few accidents and as a result I have the full quota of nine lives we all get given at birth and thought that I don't need them, but someone else probably will.'' That quote from a tortoise-shell coloured moggy who we've given the name of Dexter to protect his identity.

Rumours that Dexter has become the first cat in the South West to gain full medical insurance coverage were unconfirmed last night, but he did say he was watching his health and has recently purchased a pedometer to see how far he goes of a night and had cut out carbohydrates, because as he said, '' a fat cat is funny, but an obese one is just sad.''

Swindon's Debt Firms Could Go Into The Red As Business Slows


At least three of Swindon's four money lenders advice companies could be at risk of going under unless more business comes through it's doors in the next few weeks.

'' Our busy period is usually January, with people heavily in debt after the Christmas debt season. We took on more staff to cope with demand, but trade has been slow, then yesterday was the first day most people have been paid this year and it just got worse.'' That quote from Mary Horne, 35, Manager of Red Line Debt Consolidate based in John Street.

There was a piece of good news in all this, those financial companies effected say that if they have to layoff staff, they will end up unable to pay their mortgages and be threatened with repossession, thus companies like Red Line will be where ex-employees turn to for help.

It remained unconfirmed whether Red Line was offering a ' 2 for the price of 1' on personal insolvencies sale today, until business picks up to encourage those usual frugal consumers in town to go mad and max out some cards to get the ball rolling for the town's loan shark and debt recovery industries.
