The $1.5 Million sounds a bit much to me, Phred. L.C. is a beautiful cat. Hope she is happy in her new home.

Well, Phred, the dog may not have been a wuss....

Decades ago, we had a neighbor who had a German Shepherd that was so mean and viscious he was eventually given to the Air Force (we lived on base, and he was so dangerous it was either that or have him put down). One day Jane came to the door with Rocky on a leash. In the meantime, our Siamese had just had kittens. When Sammy sensed Rocky, she dashed from upstairs and flew at Rocky before my mom or Jane even saw her and proceeded to shred Rocky's face!

As far as Mr. Panic Attack and his $1.5 million - it really bugs me that people who are able-bodied are able to get these assistance dogs when there are still blind, legless, deaf, etc. people who are on waiting lists. I also don't see how he suffered any pain when it was his dog that was scratched. Oh, well.

Zipp completely agrees!

I think LC should counter-sue for $13.5 (1.5 for each of his 9 lives). On the grounds that...

This incident caused "significant lasting, extreme and severe mental anguish, in addition to physical altercations including but not limited to, chipped claws, loss of fur, spittle, and vocal emittances; such physical altercations have left LC incapable of (but not limited to) activities such as, scattering the litter out of/within the box, giving the human(s) a good swipe with freshly sharpened claws, shredding the carpet, chairs, books, etc.; in turn, this incident has caused humilation, shame, embarrassment, mortification, chagrin, depression, panic, anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and loss of sleep in the feline community as LC was unable to inflict more damage."
