Episode 195: The Grandfather Claws

Episode 195

28th January 2015

Should an elderly cat be treated as a family member?

Episode notes

Josh brings the case against his partner Melanie. They recently moved in together and share a house with Josh’s aging cat. Josh says the cat is like family to him, and should be afforded certain privileges and comforts. Melanie insists that the cat is not a family member, and that Josh’s coddling has to stop. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Only one man can decide.

Thanks to Tessa Klettl-Keller for this week’s case name!
