Because he jumped you from behind, your cat would not charged with assault, but certainly for battery, unless the cat was defending himself against severe bodily injury or death, in which case he was entitled to jump your bones.

In any case, I'd get a lawyer to defend you against this feline scourge.

Check on his assets before you take any radical action.

ya know what? why not sue? you got me thinking...my cat wakes me up too early...and, is too demanding on the type of food she enjoys...I will contact my attorney...

lol

Nahhh. Sounds like you were in the way. Poor cat.

Why r guys so hard 2 figure out?

Nice STUPID question. Ya sue the owner for it! Maybe the cat should sue you for being stupid! Think about what you ask next time. Boy I love what the world is coming to.

Reported for insulting my belief

It is your cat. Try suing your self. No home owners will not cover it. When was the last time a cat jumped and killed some one?????

:)you can sue him as as you are the owner you would pay yourself.
On the other hand what you need is a trainer, your cat needs help!

mr. dorkface

well unfortunately you'd have to sue the owner of the cat.

rebel_gurl002

Well, possibly.But that'd be kind of interesting...you paying for his lawyer too and then if you win the case having to "pay yourself".Judge might throw you in an aslyum though.

You'll have to sue your home owners insurance.

Did you get the cat from anybody, you might want to consider suing them.

The above response is anecdotal and satirical and opinion; it no way can it be construed as legal advice. You should seek the legal counsel of a licensed attorney who practices in your area.

i would make soup out of him

What a way to blow 5 pts. Nice question!

yes you can sue and would probably win but he may have defenses. you asumed the risk of this when you bought a cat for instance. If he has gone crazy,as you say, he is not responsible for his actions. even if you win he may be difficult to collect from as he probably has few assets.
I suggest you attempt to negotiate a settlement. maybe get him a female cat and he will leave you alone.

Sueing your cat. Sueing your cat. Think about it for a minute or two. First what would you get if you won? A couple of hair balls? The judge would call you an idiot and tell you to get a life. How about you take away his cat nip for awhile and you lay off the sauce also.

Unfornately you can't sue your cat, you would be sueing yourself. I have the same problem with my cat. She is 4yrs old and her name is Bella, she jumped out of my closet and tripped me by getting caught between my legs, I fell backwards into a large 2 drawer oak nightstand and severely sprained my back in 2 spots and pulled 3 muscles. It took months heal. I still have her but we are working on her behavior...Ask your vet about feline behavior problems. We are useing what my vet calls Kitty Time Out= When Bella jumps out at someone we put her in the bathroom for 5 minutes so she knows she did wrong, she still jumps out every now and then but she is starting understand that she gets punished for it. I'd say try this and see if it helps....

umm.. i wouldn't think so b/c he doesn't work..i think you would need to get rid of him b/c he has gone crazy or something else is making him crazy

evil_paul

Were you born a retard or do you work at it? You should be put to sleep for asking a question that dumb! Please don't have kids.

Do we have to got to the extremes and sue a cat? No wonder the poor cat jumped you, I would too.

You ' ll have to sue the owner of the cat.

...

elysialaw

You could sue yourself as owner of the cat.

IF you were successful in an insurance claim, the insuring company would likely, again, go after the owner of the cat for culpability, which is you.

Even if not, insurance companies raise rates for people who make frivolous claims . You'd pay in the long run for your increased rates.
