Last night my girlfriend opened a can of fancy feast cat fod made by Purina to feed my cats.. upon opening it the the can violently exploded everywhere across her face.. It was the most foul, putrid, rancid contents ever.. It shot out with a great force all over her face and on the ceiling walls, etc.. I have tons of pictures documenting the whole disgusting thing, My girfriend was throwing up for half an hour afterwards and became violently ill.. We both had to throw out all of the clothes we were wearing and my house smells 100 times worse than a garbage dump.. We couldn't stay here last night becuase of the smell.. Now I have all of my windows up and it still smells like shit.. There are also stains all over my walls from the guck.. It was not normal cat food it was a black sludge and the most foul thing you could imagine..
Anyways I called Purina and they said it was a handling issue in their factories and that they improperly handled the can when it was cooking. Do you think a lawyer would take this case? Should we be compensated by Purina? Its the worst thing I've ever seen in my life..

On appeal, the award was vastly reduced. On the order of a few hundred thousand dollars.

My girlfriend says 15K or we are going the route of a lawyer so thats what I'm asking for.. She really didn't deserve that to happen to her and she hasn't eaten food all day and is still nautious from the episode.. If it can pay for some of our wedding thats cool..
But my biggest question and perhaps the most important--did the kitties end up getting fed after all that?
:couldn't use the lmao because the amount of smilies is used up in the quote:
that is good stuff.
I also have a mental image of the poor cats thinking they are about to get fed and all of the sudden there is a loud noise with smelly crap flying everywhere and one of the humans barfing in the toilet while the other one is making really bright flashes with the little box-looking thing.
If anyone can get some money out of this case, it's this guy!

yeah...and the cats were probably thinking "farking stupid humans"

But none of you all could possibly imagine how bad it was.. once again the stench and disgust is indescribable through words- you had to be there..
I wanted to ask for 5k to help me paint the walls, replace clothes and for the embarassment and uncomfortableness my girlfriend went through, but the girlfriend is the one that bore the brunt of the terrible incident and she is pushing hard to ask for 15K so that is what she wants... The very nice and honest attorney we have lurking on slickdeals advised me to start high at 12K and I should be happy to settle at between 5-7k.. Personally I would be happy with $2,500 but we will see
They might cover the cleaning costs, medical exam and 1yr of free cat food.
Sorry, you're not going to get a fat check because of spoiled catfood...
....I farking flinch as it unventfully pops open. The cats are looking at me like I am nuts and wonder why it is taking me so long to give them their food.
