Just what she needs: More kitties! Cat lady sues to clone

[Champ]

Cat Lady Heidi Erickson wants to clone her doomed colony of 42 ringworm-ravaged Persians before the state euthanizes and incinerates them, according to court papers.

Erickson argues she has the right to collect the precious DNA she spent years breeding in her champion pack and is still battling to save their lives against the Department of Agriculture's August declaration that the cats pose a public health hazard.

``Why is the state doing this? Why is everything so against saving these cats?'' the cat breeder asked yesterday after winning another reprieve for the cats until Oct. 15 so she can appeal a judge's refusal to stop their euthanasia.

Superior Court Justice John C. Cratsley rejected Erickson's claims of ``heightened property interest'' in keeping her animals alive for DNA collection and refused to reconsider his earlier ruling backing state officials' power to wipe out the colony.

4. If those cats were "precious" to her, they wouldn't have been infested...

...And so many wouldn't have been found dead when her home was raided.

9. now she wants to be a horse groomer

Check out the "Related Local News" section at the bottom-right of the page. Here's a snippet:

Self-proclaimed ``Cat Lady'' Heidi Erickson has turned her interests from felines to equines - but is being blocked from a horse-grooming gig for allegedly lying about her criminal record.

     ``You are discriminating,'' Erickson railed at the state Racing Commission yesterday.

     ``This commission does not want to hear from me at all.''

     Erickson, who became the ``Cat Lady'' after dozens of sick and dead felines were found in her Beacon Hill apartment, was before the board appealing a decision by Suffolk Downs and the state police denying her a grooming license to work in the racetrack stables.

     Police and track officials said the application was denied because she lied about her arrest record.

     Officials say she answered ``no'' to a question about being arrested and provided the wrong Social Security number.
