A family in Australia was trying to sell its Melbourne home but was having a bit of trouble getting the price it wanted.
That is, until they threw in their family pet and got another $123,062.01 for it!
That’s right.
When Fran and Michael Perceval told their realtor that they’d throw in their four-year-old cat Tiffany into the sale as a joke, people actually took the claim seriously.
While the house was originally going to be sold for a little over $1.8 million, when Tiffany was added to the listing, the Percevals walked away with an offer just barely under $2 million!

The family’s agent, Glen Coutinho, says that while he knew it was a joke, it actually worked. Although, we have a feeling that Fran and Michael’s 19-year-old son Sam, who bought Tiffany, isn’t going to be happy about this.
We feel really bad for the cat, just being abandoned like that with a complete stranger. At least there’s some silver lining in the fact that she’s still in a familiar home!
In the end, Tiffany may have nine lives, but she certainly isn’t spending them with the Percevals, that’s for sure.
