Only a dumb pussy would urinate on a man's briefcase and not expect to pay the price. In this case, the price wasn't actually too bad - the man who owned the briefcase flung the cat onto the balcony of the apartment where they both lived. Also sharing the apartment was the man's wife, the nominal owner of said dumb pussy.

Now, the man's wife obviously preferred the dumb pussy to her dumb husband, because she called the Italian Animal and Environment Defense Association, who in turn found her lawyers specializing in similar cases.

Cat owner and man's wife, Mrs Laura Marchesi, reported that she had found her cat hungry and shivering with cold after spending the night trying to get back into their apartment, and a court has now ordered Mr Marchesi, he of the pee'd on briefcase, to pay his wife $800 for vets' expenses and emotional damage.

We are not told whether the emotional damage refers to the dumb pussy or to Mrs Marchesi (or is that one and the same thing?). However, Mrs Marchesi is quoted as saying, "I love my cat very, very much and what happened to it affected me deeply. It is only fair that I receive some compensation."

We are not told the status of the Marchesi marriage.
