Hmmmmm. Maybe I better be careful "mooing" when around certain excessively robust females?
Why doesn't the old crone just "Hee Haw" back at the kid?
What a waste of court time!

I agree with your response. Why be nice to a kid that's not nice?
To: GrammaLou
Well, Emily Post would not approve . . . but I'd hope it would make the kid never meow at me again.

If the judge rules meowing illegal, then that cat food commercial will have to be ruled illegal, then the Head On commercial will go because of irritation.
Nope, can't declare meowing illegal. It'll just stir up a can of worms.

First, I don't let my kitties out. Most aren't interested in doing anything but looking out the windows anyway.
But second, I'm not certain I could find cat excrement in my ornamentals (more than flowers in there). I just don't get that close. And kitties DO usually bury. Unlike the neighbors'!@#$ dog, who I never caught doing it, who dropped his bigger-than-human load square in the middle of my side yard about once a week.

I'm pretty sure he has a mental disorder of some type.
I imagine he probably doesn't work at anything other than a sideshow.

Who, the judge?
If I were a kid and my best friend, my cat was taken away from me because of "some crazy old lady" next door, I would mad at her and my parents. After all, cats don't have to go out; they could have just kept it in the house.
The kid's mad at everybody, but can't take it out on his parents as they're too close, so he takes it out in a passive aggressive way with the complainant.
No huge deal, just a mistreated child who'll probably be screwed up from this for the rest of his life.

There are two types of people in this world: those that are able to shrug off comments/insults/teasing/innocent or ignorant remarks, whatever in stride; and those that have to take offense at every freaking thing that is said to them to the point that they have to get the law involved.

I can't believe the judge needs ninety days to rule.
If there ever was a case for a summary judgment...sheesh.
Yeah, this judge might be disordered too.

After reading this thread, I guess it's ok for a 14 yr old to harass a 78 yr old as long as it's under the right circumstances. I disagree and I own 5 cats.

I know what you mean...I cannot fault the poor dogs however. Their owners are insufferably arrogant and take complaints personally. I've even had one owner forbid me to say the word "dog"---it susie or fred or lula---not dog!
Never once did a cat owner do that. But then again, I've never once said "cat" without saying "cute" in front of it.

Look at it another way. A teenager is taunting an elderly woman because his irresponsible parents couldn't keep their cat inside. Now, he blames the elderly woman.
Hopefully,the young man will learn some respect and leave her alone. If it were me, I would be concerned.

Dogs are used to attack fleeing criminals, detect drugs, detect bombs, find survivors, find the deceased, hunt, retrieve game, guard property and are actually like people. I'll take a dog any day.

Her age is really irelevant. I've had a theory for many years now; cranky crabby types simply turn into old cranky crabby types. Age should excuse cranky crabby behavior.

I don't disagree. It's some dog owners who I find insufferable.

Agreed. True for all people, not just dog owners.
To: Clint N. Suhks
Does the judge get paid to spend 90 days on a ruling?
As I understand it, most judges are disordered.

I remember back in the day when a 14 year old wouldn't dare be rude to a 78 year old woman even once, let alone constantly. The kid is very ill-mannered and his parents should set him straight.
That being said, this case shouldn't even be considered a matter for judicial decision.
