Bit daft innit, most breakfast cereals are sprayed with all manner of extra vitamins and minerals before packaging to improve their nutritional value.
When I was about six or seven I came back from a night at a friend's house and my parents had got a border collie puppy, who we called Fly. Pearl was our cat, a tabby female who was nice enough if I remember. I loved that puppy, he was wonderful. We became good friends and he was fun and interactive and very, very smart and wily. The dog and cat, as nature demands, did not get on.
One day, Pearl swiped at Fly and caught his eye. I have vague recollections of seeing it happen. The dog was hurt and went off to the vets. He was fixed up and returned to us with a bandage and collar and eventually healed to almost full health. I couldn't forgive the cat, though. I couldn't understand why it would do such a thing. Every time I saw it outside, I pulled her tail. I'd lift her up by her tail and she'd squeal and squawk and wriggle and run off into the undergrowth.
I kept up this campaign of punishment and eventually the cat disappeared. I harboured a long-standing guilt until I told my mother a couple of years ago. She said not to worry, and that she thought the cat had been run over by a combine harvester.
Just think yourself lucky you don't have a tail.

Putting aside
your cat abuse, those bloody forrins have also banned our breakfast cereals for the same reasons I believe.
