Espinosa, who was a reporter for the North County Times at the time, said that the sudden attack terrified him and triggered panic attacks that continue to torment him. The cat was an unofficial library mascot, he said, so the city is responsible for the attack, Espinosa alleged. His complaint said that, as a member of a protected disabled class, he expected a proper response from the city, which he never got.

Espinosa, who is representing himself, said money is not the biggest issue in his lawsuit. He hopes it will educate the public about the legal rights of people with "hidden disabilities"
