YOU HAVE TO be kitten us.
A Russian bank is now lending cats along with money – people who take out mortgages will also be given a furry feline to play with for a couple of hours.
Jezebel reports that because more and more Russians are seeking mortgages, the Moscow-based Sberbank came up with the unique promotion as a means of attracting customers.
The lucky mortgage-seekers will even get to choose the cat they want to come and visit.
The promotion also ties in to an old Russian superstition – it’s good luck for a cat to be the first creature to walk into a new home. See how excited this couple get when their fluffy visitor steps over the threshold:
When can we expect Irish banks and businesses to pick up on this? We want cats with our student loans, and we want them NOW.
