This cat may be bright, but I do sometimes wonder what our poor world is coming to!

LOL! He's probably smarter than some jurors I've served with! :mrgreen:

They probably wouldn't let him in the courhouse anyway as he doesn't have a government issued photo ID! And then issue a warrant for contempt of court by not appearing for jury duty......

Ive done jury service, a cat would have more intelligence and understanding of the law than some of the clowns I served with. Theres so much waiting around with jury duty, I could have done with a cat there...

I don't think we have a section for pets on census forms here in the UK.
If it did happen here to my Cats or Dog and the court insisted after i told them they were animals then i would take them to prove how stupid some people are.
Wonder how this will pan out :D

Did you hear about The Guardian writer who got his dead cat the same doctorate as Gillian McKeith has.

To be fair a cat would'nt go through your poo.

Bad science paragraph. To be fair I am a big old guardian reading lefty but it still brings the lolz
Goldacre purchased a "certified professional membership" on behalf of his late cat, Henrietta, from the same institution for $60.[23] In February 2007, McKeith agreed to stop using the title "Dr" in her advertising following a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority by a Bad Science reader

It makes you wonder what the world's coming to :lol:

Mum and I have just been making jokes about dogs and cats demanding mutt-ernity leave and purr-ternity leave (they probably will be paid mutt-ernity and purr-ternity leave the way the world is going now ):lol:
