Not that I expect most people with more important things in their life to remember her, but Kenley (the retro dress designer from season 5 of Project Runway) was just arrested in NYC and spent the night in jail for assault, harrassment, menacing, and criminal possession of a weapon. Needless to say, when I saw the headline, I was expecting the same-old story about starting a fight in a club, or maybe threatening a papparazzo. (Not that I expect that Kenley is actually famous enough to be followed by papparazzi, but still.)
Instead, it turns out that she threw a cat at her boyfriend. Also, his laptop, some apples, and a glass of water. Yep, just your run-of-the-mill domestic dispute--though throwing the cat was an interesting twist. What surprises me most is the fact that a cat, if thrown, evidently counts as a weapon. Who knew? Was it a ninja cat? Maybe it was a Army Ranger like Nicholas Cage in Con Air--where the fact that it has been trained for fighting automatically qualifies the cat as a deadly weapon. It seems kind of unfair that all the blame is falling on Kenley when her highly-trained ninja cat isn't sharing any of the responsibility for the attack. Going from what I know about cats, it had probably been waiting and training for this opportunity for months. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire argument was part of the cat's grand scheme.
