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!

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

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

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 )
