Suppose the class members all happened to own pedigreed cats, and the
breeders who had sold the cats to the class members had told them that
as responsible cat owners they would have to feed the cats kibbles
during the day and Fancy Feast at night and buy a fountain for each cat
because cats prefer to drink out of a fountain (where gravity works for
them) rather than out of a bowl (where gravity works against them) and
they don’t like to share a fountain with another cat,” Posner wrote. He
asked readers to imagine that the cat food got more expensive, and the
fountains didn’t work.
Cat owners, he wrote, wouldn’t like that. “Yet would anyone think
they could successfully sue the breeders? For what? The breeders had
made no misrepresentations. “It’s the same here.”
Judge Posner, as quoted by the ABA Journal, in a recent decision.
Cat belong to Navy Commander, formerly owned by the Sultan of Turkey, 1927.
