During a Zoom hearing couple years ago, that the judge was doing from her home, her cat jumped onto her desk and demanded pets, which Her Honor dutifully provided as we continued to argue as though nothing unusual had occurred

This could be a bad precedent for you. I'd try to settle quickly

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

Atreus and Kya were chasing each other during a meeting one time with opposing counsel, and literally right as my boss asked me if I could do something for him, the cats decided THAT was the moment to jump on my desk and run across my keyboard—which muted me.

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

In my rush to unmute myself I accidentally clicked the wrong button and left the meeting entirely. According to the team, allowing counsel looked at my boss and goes, “I guess that’s a no.” We had a team meeting right after and they were all dying laughing.

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

Opposing counsel*

dbeecher.bsky.social•11 days ago

Offering another perspective, I've had several remote hearings where judges had dogs barking in the background and never once heard or seen a cat. Perhaps worth waiting to see who the case is assigned to.

jais.muusu.net•11 days ago

Clearly, it's time to settle.

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

I know. I’m cooked!

stinapag.bsky.social•11 days ago

I can't believe @darthbluesky.bsky.social is missing this.

Summeowy Judgment, for sure.

matthewhvoss.bsky.social•11 days ago

This is the most adorable pawsuit ever.

erikgunderson.bsky.social•11 days ago

It's fur-ivolous litigation.

lutherevers.bsky.social•11 days ago

My brief read of the complaints makes me think this has legs. I'm firmly on plaintiff's side.

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

So is everyone else. 😩

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

Look at this smug little jerk.

Thank you to @zachrosewriter.bsky.social and @debbiemia.bsky.social for this laugh. It is a purr-fect display of humor and legal ‘prowless’.

debbiemia.bsky.social•11 days ago

All credit goes to Zach. It was 100% his idea and draft. I only formatted it and threw in a few extra puns because Atreus deserves to have his case look profursional 😂

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

It looks fantastic!

zachrosewriter.bsky.social•11 days ago

Oh, I am giving much credit to Debbie here. The adjustments and formatting were absolute Purr-fection

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

Also, cat-tax of this adorable little jerk.

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

Also, I have been advised to settle, as cat law is notoriously plaintiff friendly.

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

Also, linking to Atreus’ other glamour shots. https://bsky.app/profile/kateration.bsky.social/post/3lj6vcajtuc2x

These pictures are airtight evidence if it comes to a purry trial

It just doesn't have the same ring as tree law, does it?

iamthatdork.bsky.social•11 days ago

Making me miss my orange baby (literally, he acted like a toddler and always would come to my spouse when she got home and demand to my picked up)

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

Atreus jumps on the highest thing he can find, and trills at us until we bonk foreheads whenever we get home.

iamthatdork.bsky.social•11 days ago

Omg. I love this so so much

The lawsuit and pictures are amazing!

TeamAtreus

Sorry, but I’m Cat with a C on this one.

feralnietzsche.bsky.social•11 days ago

Bold choice.

See you soon.

ebs.bsky.social•11 days ago

dbeecher.bsky.social•11 days ago

Has anyone considered representing Kya as an intervenor here? Surely Atreus' demands for skritches are going to limit her access to the same.

feralnietzsche.bsky.social•11 days ago

I’m conflicted.

ebs.bsky.social•11 days ago

Recuse thine haunches to the gallery, sir.

ebs.bsky.social•11 days ago

Did Kat lose an arm? Doesn’t seem like a zero-sum issue to me.

And what about that big furry programmer dude in all this?

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

@wqsaves.bsky.social is the one Atreus likes to annoy the most. And the one he throws a tantrum with. I think I should be dismissed as a party in this action.

dbeecher.bsky.social•11 days ago

Atreus specifically asks for two hands in his relief!

asrothstein.bsky.social•11 days ago

What does @boozybadger.bsky.social have to do with this?

asrothstein.bsky.social•11 days ago

Alright meow, your honor everybody knows skritches are a zero sum game.

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

I was told by @dmschmeyer.bsky.social that cat law is notoriously plaintiff friendly. Figures. 😏

zachrosewriter.bsky.social•11 days ago

I believe one of our friends noted that an MSJ is easy to win because "Plaintiff is a cat."

"GRANTED."

loooool this is incredible

lizardky.bsky.social•11 days ago

Oh, dear, I just had to forcefully evict a certain Orange Boi for the crime of "dancing on keyboard" and "smurgling mouse hand". I hope he doesn't know any lawyers.

gerakion.bsky.social•11 days ago

I lost it at "pro cat vice"

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

The puns they used are excellent. I can’t even decide which one is my favorite.

scenarist.bsky.social•11 days ago

@ebs.bsky.social Can you venue shop until you get the very hirsute Judge Beagle Barker over in Wolf County?

imaginos.bsky.social•11 days ago

I see a Show Cause hearing in the near future.

@jortsthecat.bsky.social in case you're ever searching case law for legal precedent

illluminati.bsky.social•11 days ago

OMG! What's the cat's claim? 😹

fumblebee.bsky.social•11 days ago

I AGREE WITH THE CAT

fumblebee.bsky.social•11 days ago

The honorable @darthbluesky.bsky.social presiding

fumblebee.bsky.social•11 days ago

I’m seeing missing causes of action
Like putting him in the cat carrier and taking him to a scary scary doctor

kateration.bsky.social•11 days ago

Atreus doesn’t do cat carriers, or small enclosed spaces in general. He was found left in his cat carrier outside for two days, outside of police barracks, when he found and was picked up by animal services.

fumblebee.bsky.social•11 days ago

Fair enough. Gus (good boy in pfp) and his littermate Maddie were found chained to the fence of an animal shelter in Puerto Rico

heavysauce555.bsky.social•11 days ago

"The plaintiff Atreus is the bestest boy" cracks me the fuck up
