just wanted everyone to be clear on that, as we previously covered my not being a lawyer. (as per link below)

so, in summation: i am neither an attorney nor a domestic feline.
thank you for your time.
*please forward any additional queries on this matter to my personal legal counsel. (whom I retain due to not, myself, being a lawyer)
**regarding legal documentation on this matter, you may contact the state bar of NC or your local ASPCA chapter.
