SHOW CAT'S OWNER SUES AIRLINE FOR MISSING CLAWS
Hong Kong : The owner of an award winning persian cat is suing Hong Kong's flag carrier Cathay Pacific after the pet was found bleeding with nine claws missing before boarding a Malaysia-bound flight, a media report said yesterday.
Grace Cheung Kei is seeking HK$45,000.00 (RM21,096.00) in compensation from the airline, which she contends is responsible for the injuries to Sharamka Jemma, the South China Morning Post reported.
"Jemma is not a usual cat," Cheung wrote in her claim filed at the small claims court, arguing the animal had won a top prize here and other awards in various international cat shows.
"You may not be able to imagine how painful it would be if nine out of ten finger nails are pulled out, but this poor little cat had this horrible experience just days ago," she reportedly said in her claim.
"I could not imagine how this could happen in an airline which claims to be the best airline in the world," the claim reportedly added.
The report said that the incident happened in July when Cheung took the animal and four other cats to the airline check-in counter for a flight to Kuala Lumpur where they were to be entered in a show.

What do you think?
The cat arrived Malaysia bloody - that is for sure! And proceeded to BIS in almost every ring for the next two days in Asia's 1st ever 8 ring show! Now in an untouchable No.1 PR, DW position.
FYI - HK$45,000 is aound US$6,500.
