Well, if you list your cat as a citizen on a census form ...
That said, I have a teddy bear who gets mail ...

No one likes jury duty. The mindless waiting, missing work and general boredom.
No doubt, Sal the cat feels the same.
The Massachusetts cat has been called for jury duty.
The problem arose after Sal's owners, Anna and Guy Esposito of Boston, Mass., filled out the latest U.S. census form listing him as part of the family but as a cat, WHDH-TV reported.
When the family received Sal's jury duty notice earlier this month, Anna filed for Sal's disqualification of service, choosing his reason as he is "unable to speak and understand English" out of the 10 other statutory disqualifications listed by the Massachusetts Judicial Branch, KGW.com reported.

Will there be similar concern in this country when Jedi Knights are proven to be under-represented in juries as a religious group?
I see this as a serious issue -- Jedis have a long history of being oppressed by the Empire... .
I can't get passed the line about your teddy bear getting mail. (the plight of the Jedi Knights notwithstanding, of course)
How many cats are there on jury duty right now? Meow...I'll take that as two!!
