Seems a jury in Escondido, California has ruled against a man who was suing the city for $1.5 million dollars after a cat scratched his assistance dog at the city library. He claimed the scratch TO HIS DOG caused him "significant lasting, extreme and severe mental anguish and emotional distress including, but not limited to, terror, humiliation, shame, embarrassment, mortification, chagrin, depression, panic, anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, loss of sleep [and] loss of full enjoyment of life as well as other physical and mental afflictions and pain [and] suffering." He also claimed that, because the cat was black, the "attack" was a hate crime!
