To start off, my husband was called for jury duty service, which is just so wrong. Why do people who have jobs have to serve jury duty?? Especially when there are thousands of people who are out of work and looking for a job that could serve on jury duty??
Anyway, my mom called me and told me that my husband shouldn’t feel bad about being called for jury duty because she saw on the news that a CAT has been summoned for jury duty. Yes, you read that right. A Cat. How the hell is a cat suppose to serve jury duty?? The family called the jury system and explained the situation to them, and yes, the cat has to serve jury duty. WTF??!! I can just see the Judge’s face and questions now.
Have you ever killed a mouse?
Have you ever caused a hit and run?
Anyway, if you don’t believe me feel free to read the story below.
CAT SUMMONED FOR JURY DUTY

SYNOPSIS:
A fair-haired beauty at 19, Lady Mairi is heiress apparent to her father Lord Dunwythie’s rich barony. He has carefully taught her how to manage their estates, but a feud between his clan and the Maxwell clan is brewing as the two families edge toward a clan war – their dispute over money owed. Mairi’s father believes he owes nothing, and of course Mairi sides with him.
When the impulsive and blue-eyed Rob Maxwell chances to meet Mairi in a barley field, they feel instant attraction, despite their families’ antagonisms. Knowing he must put his clan first, Rob enacts a plan to force Dunwythie to pay his debt: Rob kidnaps Mairi, making the abduction appear the work of a stranger; then he and his sheriff-brother offer to help Dunwythis rescue his daughter IF, and only if, he will pay them the monies due. Yet after Rob captures Mairi’s body, she captures his heart. When Dunwythie summons the aid of the most powerful clan in all Scotland (the Douglases), clan-tensions rise to a fever pitch. Love takes its own feverish course, as Mairi and Rob join forces to prevent a clash between hot-headed clans, and to protect their budding love.
