    My father gets credit card offers to this very day addressed to my cat, because he used its name to sign up for a duplicate free trial for one of those CD-of-the-month clubs in the '90’s. That cat died of old age two decades ago, but somehow gets “preapproved” credit card offers – plus a ton of other ridiculous junk mail.

      What was your cat’s name? Please tell me it’s nothing a sane human would name their actual child. I’m picturing credit offers addressed to “Mister Snifferbootles Smith”
