Mich. Man Gets $122,400 for Cat Bite
Mich. Man Gets $122,400 for Cat Bite

FLUSHING, Mich. (AP) -- A nasty bite on the hand that a man got from his sister's Siamese cat is worth $122,400. A jury on Friday awarded Michael Sabo, 57, the money for an injury he got when the cat, Randy, bit his right hand in March 2004.
Sabo's fingers swelled so much that they looked like "plump hot dogs," his attorney, Tom Pabst, told The Flint Journal, and an infection put Sabo in a hospital for three weeks. He had to pay thousands in medical bills.
Pabst said Sabo's sister, Jean Toney, had warned people not to pick up Randy because he had bitten people before, but the newspaper said the cat leapt into Sabo's lap.
Sabo initially tried to get his sister's homeowner's insurance policy to cover the cost of treatment. When that request was refused, Sabo had no choice but to take the matter to court, Pabst said.
There was no answer Sunday at a telephone listing for Toney. A call to Pabst on Sunday wasn't immediately returned.

It is funny. I make one mad (the fat head one) He goes and woops up on the other one. Then both of them decide to ambush me. Sometimes they will attack my wife instead of me. Course she blames me. These cats are retarded. One loves to jump in water, drinks coffee and hates the outdoors. The other one has mental moments and does something stupid all the time. These cats ain't right.

Geez...$122K for getting bitten by a cat? Hmm...I figure I'm up to...

*writes on scratch paper...runs out of paper & gets calculator*

Something like $2 million by now.
