This is a question Impulse buys

I'm now the owner of a monster trampoline that's nearly too big for the garden. Tell us your retail disasters and triumphs.

A cat
though it wasn't so much a 'Buy', as it was free.

Over the years, though, the fucking thing's costs me hundreds, if not thousands, in cat food, immunizations, litter, string and rattly things.

Not to mention the fact that it shat everywhere more than once. No wonder the previous owner didn't want it.

Eventually I beat its brains out with a shovel and buried it under the begonias.

(Not really. Little fucker will be sitting behind the front door meowing when I get home, actually.)

On the subject of braining small animals
A close friend's father placed their pet rats in a sack and smashed them to death with a shovel, apparently they were getting old and violent and it wasn't worth the money to have them put down...

anyways, I bet you really love that kitty.

I can sympathise fully...
I was out having a stroll and saw a sickly kitten stumbling about near a ramshackle freeholding, obviously it was one of the feral army of cats left to rid the place of vermin, but it was clearly in a bad way so I 'borrowed it' (sent my girlfriend to steal it) took it home and named it Conrad...

18 months of free kitty bliss followed until 6 weeks ago the little shit got in a tangle wit a car and lost (he still maintains the car came off worse but, despite being cute, he's a fucking liar) thus far the broken leg he suffered has cost us £1900 and he's still due another operation :(

No, he isn't insured.
