I new this would happen, now comes the fun, BTW, they should all be CATstrated....
THE Perceval family prize their pet cat, Tiffany.
But she?s not priceless. In fact, she?s worth her weight in Tiffany?s jewellery: $140,000, to be exact.
No kitten around.
The Percevals auctioned their five-bedroom Glen Iris home of 19 years on Saturday.
The property was passed in at $2,060,000.
And it was then, as real estate agent Glen Coutinho negotiated to try to close a deal, that a cat clause entered the sales contract.
Mr Coutinho, of RT Edgar, said that a child of one of the bidders had fallen in love with Tiffany during the inspections of the home.
?Tiffany decided she would sit on the couch,? Fran Perceval told the Herald Sun. ?People would come through, and she?d observe them and be patted. She loved all the attention ? she does look a bit ornamental,? she said.
Ms Perceval had even jokingly suggested to Mr Coutinho that Tiffany could be included in the sale, because after all ?she believes the house is her property?.
But then the bidder offered to buy the home for $2.2 million ? as long as Tiffany was included in the deal.
Ms Perceval said they agreed to terms ? but her son, Sam, 19, isn?t too pleased and they?re still negotiating with him.

Sam bought Tiffany from a pet shop.
?She was at the pet shop, the last of the litter, and he felt sorry for her,? Ms Perceval said.
?We?re thinking we?ll put $20,000 in a pile next to the cat and say to Sam: you choose.?
She said Sam was planning to travel overseas next year and the extra money from the sale could help pay for his trip.
?And he can?t take a cat with him,? Ms Perceval said.
Given her $140,000 price tag, the new owners better hope Tiffany, 4, has nine lives.
Ms Perceval said that the family ? who also have two dogs, two rabbits and fish ? would be sad to say goodbye to Tiffany.
?We?re an animal-friendly family ... She?s a bit of a princess. She?s beautiful to look at,? Ms Perceval said.
?OK, she?s an expensive cat ? but she?s our cat.
?It is quite difficult to part with her.?
(article originally posted by fokas)The majority (more than 73%) of Herald Sun readers asked ?would you sell your cat for $140,000? have answered the same way I would: No. And that?s despite the fact I?m really a dog person with two adored kelpies, currently no cats.
For me, a pet is a part of the family not just any other chattel like an outdoor setting.
For many people the kind of affectionate and uncomplicated relationship they have with their pets is nothing short of life sustaining. I think the very least you owe a pet for the happiness they bring is a bit of loyalty.
Of course it?s complicated ?
I think im going to include my pet cockroach in my next sale
The last thing you?ll want to hear after moving in is that the wiring needs to be redone ? or that there are 6,000 brown recluse spiders living in the house with you.
Unfortunately, one family was forced to handle the latter second situation after moving into a home in St. Louis. They?re now suing the previous owners for failing to properly warn them about the infestation.
According to STL Today, Brian and Susan Trost bought a home for their family in a western suburb of the city in 2007 and noticed that they weren?t alone almost immediately after moving in.
She said, ?It was shortly after we moved in they started bleeding out of the walls?.
The Trosts called an exterminator to deal with the poisonous pests, but their efforts were in vain. After a year with no results, the family filed an unsuccessful insurance claim (a spider infestation isn?t considered ?physical damage?).
But, they successfully sued the previous owners for A$542,000, after proving in a civil court that the previous owners knew about the problem.
I don't understand what people are getting upset about? Who would be stupid enough to say no to selling their cat for 140K? It's just a cat, you can get another one (for FREE, even!) and sock the money away in a high interest bearing account to be used specifically to pay for the new cat's food and other amenities. Win all around.
All you folks who wouldn't sell your pet for $140K. I bet you'd think twice if there was really an offer.
If not then at what price? Everything is for sale .....
What if you were hungry and your kids had no shoes?
I sold 8 puppies once for $800 each. Guess that makes me the worst kind of monster got me a flat screen TV with some of the money too
This house came with spiders
