Yo I Loved how Doyle patted the plaintiff when he gave him the tissues. We need more bailiffs like Doyle. 💯💯💯💯

What is wrong with JM today? His interrogation is rather harsh. He's being real simple, acting like shelters are not dangerous. Many homeless people prefer the streets rather than the shelters for quite a few reasons. Some homeless people have issues, like not making the best decisions. The difference between them and some of us is that we have more protective factors. JM is acting like these people did something personally to him. WHY? Edit: JM, the plaintiff wasn't talking slick to you, he obviously has some challenges.

That was nice of Doyle to touch his back after giving him the facial tissue.

I need to meet this cat

This is one of those episodes where you can clearly see that Mathis is out of touch. Those shelters are a dangerous place and constantly full. There are many people that chose to sleep outside instead of the shelters. And it's funny how he was about to go in on the pastor until he realized it was an acquaintance. One that has a Mega church with homeless members that has to depend on other members for a few dollars and nights rest. If the pastor is that busy and the church is that big shouldn't they have a department or ministry to help the members? Why do they have to go directly to him? And we still have yet to see the problem. Smh

I feel for the plaintiffs! There’s clearly some issues ! They need to receive some counseling. The defendant did them a favor! She took care of the cat for four years ! That’s her cat !

You can tell they have some severe disorders going on. I wouldn't be surprised if the mom became pregnant after someone took advantage of her naivete

From the defendant’s speech alone I know she had no plans on giving the cat back

I feel bad for the plaintiff’s however, they did abandon the cat.

Something is off with the plaintiffs. Something isn’t adding up😢

THIS case is a reminder to get your babies diagnosed when you notice they are not up to speed. There are intervention services as well as laws that protect our special needs community but due to the STIGMA , I guess some parents just hope their children will grow out of it . 😢

I feel bad for the plaintiff's 😢 i hope they can get another cat, cat's are practically free

How can they afford a cat after all the hardships they have been through

That man was not talking slick to Judge Mathis!!! He probably doesn’t even know what “talking slick” is! SMH

She did them a BIG favor by taking the cat in for 4yrs. They were homeless and wouldn't have been able to feed or house it. Be greatful she didnt take it to a shelter ❤

Plaintiffs to JM: we got evicted because we had a slumlord Defendant to JM: they told me they were evicted because they stopped paying rent...the landlord was a member of their church Plaintiff 2: Trustee 😑 (cos that makes a difference 🙄) Four years later, with almost no contact; c'mon, now! They abandoned that baby. With all the cats out there needing a home, why do they want to uproot this one?

They need overseers or social workers because there are some mental challenges going with both mom and son.

Noooo im with the judge! 4 whole year, its obvious that woman grew an attachment to the cat, tf!!

Man give them their cat back!! Some people can be so petty! Smh

Sadly, to say it will truly be a miracle if they get their cat back!! 🐈 ⚖️

Some of yall tripping being mad at the defendant. I understand that the plantiffs were a little slow but 4 years???? They dont need that cat if they could go that long without it.

I peeped the switch up when JM realized he knew the pastor , nah keep yo word

Their story seem off. Telling the truth is not a complicated thing to do. They were fumbling and not explaining the same story.

I tell you JM smh. I believe that young man was sincerely answering JM’s question and JM took it as being slick. I also heard that some shelters are more dangerous than being on the streets smh

This plaintiff wanted a free trip to Chicago --- AND I AIN'T MAD AT IT. Next Case

I can’t lie when bruh started crying I couldn’t hold my laugh 😂 shit caught me off guard.

I didn’t like how JM badgered them about being homeless.

No Good Deed goes unpunished 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Actually a shelter is way more dangerous than being on the street I can attest to this being previously homeless myself at one point . The shelters u have to deal with thievery, rape, bullying and corrupt shelter staff. Only time you should be in a shelter while being homeless is if the weather is bad other than that I take my chances out in the street especially if u have round the clock public transportation or can sleep in your car.💯.

The mother & son a little off ain’t they 🙁

Am I the only one who thinks the plaintiffs should’ve gotten their cat back? 😮WOW!!

Y’all abandoned your family as you say! Wow! They have some nerves! Smh 🤦🏾‍♀️

They went wrong at not paying the rent.. they needed to do everything the right way. That’s what messed them up.

The plantiffs seem...off, the son especially seemed hostile from the beginning. Not sure if they're just mentally not all there or there's drugs involved, maybe that's why they couldn't get a place of their own. Four years is too long to leave an animal with someone. I just watched a Judge Judy case similar to this and her ruling was the same. Pets are considered property in the law, and if you abandon your property for years there's no reasonable expectation that you'd get it back. Hopefully the plantiffs are doing better now.

Yall don't need no cat, yall need a job....2 jobs a piece

When you whole family refuse to help you, it may be that you are the problem.

Go to the shelter and get you guys another cat 😢

Mathis is pathetic. It's hard to find words to describe what I truly think about his actions and behavior nowadays, especially in this case. But all I can hope for is that the plaintiff's are back on their feet in a better situation.

2 healthy, grown adults couldnt get 1 job between them both to stay off the streets. That's pretty sad. How does a Son let his Momma just sleep in the street? This cat is so much better off with the other lady!! 🐱

I don’t think the plaintiff was disrespectful…however 4 yrs is a very long time to keep someone’s cat…that’s clearly abandonment…

The got a nerve, Miracle is in a good place now!! You dont leave your animal with someone for 4 years and expect to get it back, gthoh. The cognitive issues need to be recognized by a social worker. They got legally evicted. I feel bad for their mental emotional. On the other hand they could not keep this cat and, was not thinking about it for two years

Im sorry but you can't leave yo animals somewhere for 4 years and think you can come get it.

Can’t lie I laughed when the plaintiff started crying 🫢 But I’m happy him & his mom are doing better. Judge Mathis acts like he knows all about the streets but doesn’t know how shelters are 🙄 If I was the defendant I would of just gave them the cat back because I don’t want anyone trying to go upside my head.

1:06 I know this is serious but when his momma looked over at him it took me out 😂

Yall saying yall don’t like how Judge Mathis was handling the plaintiff but the guy was putting too much on it and then he didn’t cry anymore during the case…..I think Judge Mathis was asking some valid questions

Mathis can be a real zza sometimes

Have a heart and give them the cat back.

Agree! These shelters worse than the streets & as awful as these churches

Bishop at home like "Now why am I in it?" 👁️👄👁️

JM was on one with this case… he must didn’t want to be at work that day

Even if I had to work at Popeye’s🍗🍟 and sell toe pics on the side- 🦶 My Momma head ain’t touching the street to sleep!!

Why do people say FIRST....You don't have anything better to do than "Announce " you're 1st.....Go Volunteer or something 😂

Pray this: Father, Help me to tear down every unholy, ungodly and unrighteous mindset I have that allows me to fight against Your will in my life. I repent for perverse thoughts, words and actions. Free me from all wicked and evil ways and deception. I am open to hear and obey! In Jesus' name, Amen

That cat don't remember them.

They didn't have the money to pay rent to begin with. Cause they would have been able to pay for their own hotel

I knew Mathis was gonna eat them up soon as he started talking!!!!! Lol but that defendant is so dead wrong! Just give them ppl the cat back! I’m sure they probably had more evidence of her evading them smh. Damn shame lol

Mathis is completely wrong in this case, obviously the plaintiffs needed special assistance and probably why it did take longer than others would have but the defendant is DEAD wrong keeping a cat she know is not hers. As soon as she said she agreed that she would keep the cat until they found a place he should have decided in their favor. If I say till you get back on your feet that could take a month a year or a decade but once you do I will give the it back. SMH

JM handled this one wrong. He couldn’t tell that they have some cognitive delay issues? Smh. That woman stole their cat, she just was quicker than them.

JM has been very nasty and disrespectful for the last several years on his show. I can't stomach his new show. But when the man told JM to ask her, I knew that was it. Never be a smart butt with a judge. Sorry about their living situation and their church was no help. But 4 years last 2 you haven't seen the cat. That cat has grown attached to her new family.

He is SO rude to the plaintiff!! Poor thing was trying to talk and he kept arguing and interrupting, This show made me sad for those people. He was out of line.

Lady give them their cat back

Unfortunately I laughed when the plaintiff started crying saying he was homeless. When Greg asked how long. He said 3 days. Me and Greg were thinking he was going to say at least a month. I think mom and son have some mental challenges. Which makes me sad. It's tough finding a job like that. I hope they have been diagnosed with something. So they can apply for SSDI. That will help them with free medical insurance and around 700 bucks into their account every month. I know healthy people who have taken advantage of the system when they don't need it. And people like the plaintiffs. Who really need that check are left out.

Plaintiffs were either addicts or became addicts during their time kn the streets. I say this as a black man. Ol boy was running game the moment they started talking trying to add more days than they initially were homeless and just the way they went around things as a whole. They also left out some pretty damning information like WHY they were kicked out which was...not paying the rent due to a,b,c etc. Also they never stated what theyre occupations were that allowed them to pay rent or how they lost it? Just were very vague. And for those who say that the lady shouldve returned the cat thats abit ludicrous. 4 years, lady spent 4 YEARS of her time caring and loving that cat. Shoot I'd have found it odd that shed be willing after 4 years.

she should’ve gave them their cat back .

Sounds like these two need a job. Charity case

This judge is so rude and a cold hearted man

Sorry they had to rehome their cat. But the cat needed a stable home.

Just give the people their damn cat back

They abandoned their cat. All there is to it. You do this with kids for 4 years and it pretty much stains the relationship. Don’t try and spin the block.

JM think the church out here helping the community like they used to and they not. It’s sad especially when ur paying ur 10%, they will still not help u out. They wanna give encouraging words 😤

She need give the cat back

Defendant really didn't have to do nothing. Both plaintiffs was digging themselves in a hole..

It’s not fair for her to feel like she has rights to their cat, if anything they should’ve come to some sort of financial agreement of repayment for the money she spent on the cat during the time she had it AND the cat should have been returned! How you counter suing for the costs of keeping your own cat

Lol.. people are out of hand man. If you have such a problem with JM, the solution is simpler than you’re making it. You cannot leave property that requires maintenance with someone and want it back after 4 years. It’s a sensitive subject (I understand), but JM was right that living indoors is better than outdoor in a cold (weather) environment like Chicago.

Aint nobody keeping my cats! Im pulling up with the cat treats!

Its Monday I'm here

I feel bad for the plaintiffs however they clearly abandoned their cat. If they stopped payment due to the landlord not fixing things why didn't they have funds for a new place or a hotel? Although they clearly abandoned their cat the defendant should give it back and they should pay her for food and pet care fees. Honestly the defendant seemed hell bent on keeping the cat since she was never available for a visit.

Judge Mathis should know that YES Shelters can be more dangerous than the streets. They often fill up fast and don't allow just anyone inside. Poverty is a Horrible thing... Also..many churches do mot offer financial help to non-members abd members are only given money on a case by case basis AND only if you have a good standing record for giving tithes and offerings.

Good, she has the cat and their wayyyy too late

Judge Mathis, can you let them talk without interrupting? They are trying to explain what happened .. He let the defendant talk. I feel so bad for them.

So sad and Judge Mathis came off very insensitive and very out of touch with us common folk.

Judge Mathis acting like he can’t tell the plaintiffs are not a little slow.

Mother & son need a lil mental health therapy.

4 years “no no no no”

Judge Judy where you at 😂😂😂😂

Give that man his cat!!! That's not her CAT!!! That wasn't the agreement for her to permanently keep the cat!

He wasn’t trying to be slick 😩

Her son has issues absolutely no tears

Judge Mathis must’ve been hungry and ready for lunch time. Dude wasn’t being slick maybe nervous but the lady stole that cat 🐈

Judge Mathis is an animal lover (as all should know) and these people absolutely abandoned their pet. They didn't even care about actually getting the pet back. It was just a greedy money grab attempt. I'm thrilled that the plaintiffs are actually going to have to pay the defendant!

12:49: UH UH I saw that little smirk!

Most churches do not actually help raise any money to help with homelessness, despite they take up collections every single week.. Also never give anyone your pet unless you're giving them away cuz you probably will not get them back

That cat probably would of messed with his asthma anyways

The plaintiffs need to be prayed for. There is something wrong with them spiritually.

Shelters are everything plaintiff said , that is the streets jm

The truth came out at the end. Her family bonded with their cat. Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

I love judge Mathis but sometimes i see why he got Cancelled he was so rude to them and especially the son pissed me Off

This is crazy a cat😂😂😂

After 4 years that cat not thinking about you
