Cat called to jury duty
Here's someone who's got a pretty good excuse for getting out of jury duty.
That's because Sal Esposito is a cat. But such a minor detail didn't stop the courts in Boston from calling him into serve. Or from giving him a hard time getting out of it.
Somehow, Sal was placed on a list of potential jurors and his owners in Boston are having trouble getting him out of it. They tried mailing in an exemption form stating Sal doesn't speak English.
... Exemption denied ...
A letter from Sal's vet apparently worked, however.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
