SYDNEY, Jan 4 (Reuters Life!) - An Australian bank has apologized for issuing a credit card to a cat after its owner decided to test the bank's identity security system.

The Bank of Queensland issued a credit card to Messiah the cat when his owner Katherine Campbell applied for a secondary card on her account under its name.

"I just couldn't believe it. People need to be aware of this and banks need to have better security," Campbell told local media on Thursday.

The bank said the cat's card had been canceled. "We apologize as this should not have happened," it said in a statement.

Messiah could be the pet name for her battery operated buddy, how's the bank going to know that? She put in the request for the second card, not much a test when a valid card holder makes a valid request.

What kind of ID did she present?? I've never had to open a second card, there's got to be ID involved.

It's her fault if the cat goes out and buys a truck of meow mix.
