HERE KITTY KITTY L.C. ("Library Cat") has been a fixture at the Escondido (Calif.) Public Library for seven years. The kitty is "beloved by all who visit," the library says. Not so, says Richard R. Espinosa, 47, of nearby San Marcos. When he came in with his 50-pound assistance dog, Kimba, the cat "suddenly and without provocation began hitting and clawing Kimba," he said in a legal claim against the city. The cat was not injured, but Espinosa's $1.5 million claim, which he wrote himself because four lawyers refused to take his case, says the altercation caused him "significant lasting, extreme and severe mental anguish and emotional distress including, but not limited to, terror, humiliation, shame, embarrassment, mortification, chagrin, depression, panic, anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, loss of sleep [and] loss of full enjoyment of life."
