Man fined for putting out wife's cat
A man has been fined £400 for throwing his wife's cat out of the house for urinating in his briefcase.
Laura Marchesi set animal rights campaigners on husband Allessandro for putting her cat Ivano out on the balcony.
She contacted the Italian Animal and Environment Defence Association which found her lawyers specialising in similar cases.
Mrs Marchesi told them she had found the cat shivering with cold and hungry after spending the night trying to get back into their Parma apartment.
Now a court has ordered Mr Marchesi to pay his wife £400 for vets' expenses and emotional damage.
Mrs Marchesi said: "I am so pleased with all the help from the lawyers.
"I love my cat very, very much and what happened to it affected me deeply. It is only fair that I receive some compensation."
It is unclear what effect the row has had on the couple's relationship.

Hehehehe....
I have a few good jokes for THAT story. But, I defer to your the kid in all of you!;)
