Cat Sues Computer Manufacturer for False Advertising

Bobcat, an orange tabby from New Jersey, has brought suit against computer maker Lenovo. At issue, the cat claims that when he ordered his ThinkCentre desktop PC the website claimed it would come with a free mouse.

“Instead, Bobcat was sent a computer input device that in no way resembles a rodent,” reads the legal brief filed at the Bergen County Court House in Hackensack, NJ this morning.

Legal scholars, however, say the case has no merit.

“This really won’t go anywhere,” said Timothy Goldthwaite, a professor of consumer law at Princeton University. “While the Lenovo web site doesn’t explicitly specify computer mouse, it is unreasonable to assume that a major electronics manufacturer would ship a live rodent with a PC purchase. This is just a waste of the court’s time.”
