First, the plaintiff says that when his brother borrowed his car, damage appeared that matched the shape and size of the plaintiff’s trailer hitch. When the cops arrived, the defendant refused to back his car up to see if the damage matched. The plaintiff is suing for the cost of repairs. The defendant claims there were plenty of trucks with trailers around that could have caused the damage, and he was not the one to hit the plaintiff’s car.

Then, the plaintiff says she agreed to watch the defendant’s six cats while the woman was in Florida for two weeks. However, she says the defendant ended up staying in Florida for six weeks and has not paid her for the extra time caring for the animals. The plaintiff is suing for the extra time spent caring for and playing with the defendant’s six cats. The defendant claims the plaintiff agreed to watch her cats for free, but that they eventually agreed to $50 a week. She also claims she had other friends check on her house while she was gone, and they said it appeared ransacked and her animals neglected.

Plus, the plaintiff runs a company that matches teachers with educators, and the defendant contracted with him at one point. He claims the defendant got hired but never paid the service fee for her placement. The defendant says she did inquire about the plaintiff’s services, but that she also sent her résumé out independently and was hired. She says her job was one she got on her own, which is why she doesn’t owe the plaintiff any money.
