I know that cases like this are hugely discovery dependent and therefore a hard lift to ask for someone to take on pro bono, but if any lawyer out there feels the burning need to fuck up a company that's being blasé as fuck about killing multiple cats, Kiki has loads of provable monetary damages.

I feel like when we finally move into a house and can adopt a third cat, I'm going to accidentally lock a cat in the laundry room. Not because I forget to do a headcount when closing the laundry room door, but because, after more than a decade and a half of having 2 cats, I'll forget there are 3.
