Hmmm, actually since that company that clones cats does so at $50k a pop, the person who brought this suit should have sought an additional $50k as the cost of replacement. Now that would be an interesting case.

Good! And I hope she pursues aggressive collection procedures, including (but not limited to) ex parte' garnishment of bank accounts, seizure of real property, and (my personal favorite) getting a court order to enter the debtor's house with a sheriff's deputy to inventory non-exempt property.
The nice thing about garnishment of people's bank accounts is that the bank tacks on a service charge of about $400 per garnishment. Yes, it comes out of the debtor's account and is not counted as part of the satisfaction of the judgment.
Make the debtor's life pure, unmitigated Hell.

I'm glad a judge at least understood that the cat had value to the owner...and that the idiot with the dog was responsible for the destruction of someone elses 'item of value'.
Hrmpt,
as for birds,
check out what a Black Palm or Major Mitchell's Cockatoo is going for these days ;)

Gray did not appear in court for the case and was not represented by a lawyer, Karp said.They better be very certain that they have proof of serving the papers to him.
That aside, NO CAT IS WORTH $45K . The cat was 13 years old and would have died soon anyways.

Where did the dog kill the cat?? Was the free roaming cat(s) in the dogs yard?
My neighbor lets his cats roam around the neighborhood killing birds - that I love - with immunity. Ask me if I like it!

cased closed
This is the real reason he got stomped on so hard
The judge could care less about old ladies or cats

Well, just a few weeks back, my neighbors dog came after my wife's Persian cat. Cat was on a harness/leash (I control my pets so they do not trespass or kill wildlife) sitting in the flowerbed my wife and I were gardening in at the time. Dog came at a dead run for the cat, who did a pretty good job evading, considering he (the cat) was on a leash.
I literally had to chase the dog/cat furball around until I got a hold of the dog. I proceeded to bounce the dog's skull off the driveway a few times, while being bitten. I had gardening gloves on, so I was lucky.
The cat in question was the gift I gave to my wife for our engagement (happily married for 12 years now). I was an impoverished graduate student back then and could not afford any diamond ring, so the cat (which she adores) was the very best I could give her.
To say the pet has sentimental value would be an understatement. I warned my neighbor that a repeat event like that would cost him more than he could afford. Yes, I know that cats kill birds and dogs kill cats. Well, where I come from, people shoot and kill dogs who come on their property. Since the folks where I currently live frown on that, I'll guess I'll have to rely on a lawyer.

If the dog had a tendency to get loose and enter her property, she probably should have locked her cat up for a few days and set out some poison.

You can buy cats at the pet store for less than $100. Since this was a special cat to her, award $500 so she can get the breed she wants.
Anything more is theft and insane. The judge should be removed as he is obviously mentally incompetant
