WASILLA -- A pair of accountants are heading toward a September trial in a dispute over Carl, a 6-year-old orange tabby cat.
"Since the initial hearing, not a whole lot has happened," said Eric Conard, attorney for Staci Fieser, the accountant who currently has custody of Carl.
But attorneys are swapping information and evidence. Things are proceeding as civil cases normally do, Conard said. He has no reason to believe he won't be in trial Sept. 10 in Palmer Superior Court.
Though her lawsuit asks for $100,000 in damages for having been deprived of Carl's company, Catherine Fosselman said she doesn't care about the money.
"Before we even filed charges, all we wanted was him back," Fosselman said. "We have since offered to drop the lawsuit and everything just so long as they gave the cat back. This has nothing to do with money."

"Fight for my favor, mortals!"
That's an expensive pussy cat.
"the cat, as property of the firm"
Ouch, reading that story made my brain hurt.
Dog fight over a cat!!
One hot July day we found an old straggly cat at our door. She was a sorry sight. Starving, dirty, smelled terrible, skinny and hair all matted down.
We didn't know what to call her, so we named her "Pussycat". We felt sorry for her, put her in a carrier and took her to the vet.
The vet decided to keep her for a day or so. He said he would let us know when we cou ld come and get her. My husband (the complainer) said, "OK, but don't forget to wash her, she stinks! " He reminded the vet that it was his WIFE who wanted the dirty cat, NOT him.
My husband and my Vet don't see eye to eye. He calls my husband "El-Cheap-O," and my husband calls him "El-Take-O." They love to hate each other and constantly "snipe" at each other, with my husband getting in the last word on this occasion.
The next day my husband had an appointment with his doctor, who is located next door to the vet. The doctor's office was full of people waiting to see him. A side door opened and in leaned the vet; he had obviously seen my husband arrive. He looked straight at my husband and in a loud voice said, "Your wife's pussy is finally clean and shaved and she now smells like a rose. Oh, and by the way, I think she's pregnant. God knows who the father is!" And he closed the door.
Shouldn't that be spelled "Cat-ching"?
Look at that face. A very pretty kitty, I can't imagine anybody not wanting Carl.
Awwwww, so adorable!!!
Nice looking cat.
Weird lawsuit.
Truly.
