At a fiery meeting last night, the man again made his stance against the tower's purchase clear, "I knew it would be a waste of money, they're outdoor cats, if they want to climb on something there's a perfectly good fence in the backyard." the man said.
The person in charge of the purchasing decision, Finance Minister Cyndi Holmes, said that the purchase had only been made after an extensive assessment of the needs of the household's two cats had been undertaken."I looked at all the different models of cat towers available, compared their features and checked their suitability for the cats we have in the house, then I picked the biggest, cutest one they had. It's got a ladder and a platform with a hole in it. If I were a cat I'd be up that ladder in a flash" she said.
Minister Holmes scoffed at the man's allegations that a rigged voting system had been used in relation to the tower's purchase. "He was asked if he agreed with buying a cat tower. Just because he said no at the time, and on the fifty or so other occasions the tower was brought up, doesn't mean he was against it. It just means he was wrong" she said.
The man produced a photo of a ginger cat, lying on a chair next to the tower as evidence that the purchase was a complete waste of money.
Minister Holmes then made a counter claim, producing a grainy photo of what she alleges is the same cat sitting on the tower.
The meeting quickly degenerated into a Pythonesque farce reminiscent of The Dead Parrot Sketch as the man made a counter, counter claim, claiming that if it were indeed a cat, then it had been stuck to the tower with BluTac.
The pending court case will be reported in due course.
No cats were harmed in the reporting of this story.
