Big Brother is Watching My CAT

[liveonearth]

Today in the mail I got a big pile of begging junk. I get a great range of junk, from tree hugger to gun toter junk, and lots of hippieshit for sale. I contribute to almost no one, but sometimes will send $20 cash to a cause just because I'm inspired. The last thing I want to do is give money to a politician which they will then spend on harassing the hell out of me.

So TODAY I get junk mail from the Alley Cat Allies, begging for my money to help make the lives of some ferile CAT better. And I wonder, how (the hell) did THEY get my address?? I have never subscribed to Cat Lover's Magazine.... But I did buy cat stuff at a PETSMART using a CREDIT CARD.

Looks to me like the great database in the sky tracked my CAT to this barn, then sold my information to whoever would pay. Now the clients of the data hoarders have commenced to begging. If I get a barrage of cat shit I'm going back to CASH ONLY. And I'm never ever going to Petsmart again.

As far as I am concerned, my next sushi meal is a LOT more important than some ferile cat buried under a bureacracy.

Thanks, will follow up on that. My determination to evade their tracking varies from season to season. I like to trade "club cards" with anyone who is in the grocery store line. Heh.

Oh, oops, sorry. That was me. Once I learned that you had a cat, I called up every conceivable cat/pet organization and gave them your address. I knew you'd appreciate it!!!!! Just kidding, of course. Isn't that amazing how many people can track you down to your place of residence, just by one purchase? I hope you avoid any future marketing due to credit card tracking.

I never would have guessed you'd give me away to the cat police....
