Nah, the purpose of tv's is not, to be scratched by cats.

A tv is an inanimate object that is more or less expected to stay in one place and more or less (except wiping with a cloth) meant to only be touched where theres buttons.

You could easily have mitigated this by not allowing your cat to jump up and scratch the tv.

Id suggest looking towards any insurance policy you might have. Because youll get nowhere with that.


For full disclosure, youd need to prove its a inherent fault or flaw in the product for you to be able to take this further. Proof isnt my cat broke it so it must be bad quality. Because cats probably shouldnt be getting involved with tvs.

It was not a flaw,it was the CLAW:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

So how did the scratch develop in to a chip? Was someone rubbing the screen over the scratch to see if they could rub it away, or spray some cleaner on etc? Or are you saying that, completely untouched, what was a scratch became a chip? And then, again completely untouched, that chip developed in to a crack (i.e. the vertical line)?

It may not have been you rubbing that scratch - it might have been someone else in the household who is denying any liability... but that sequence of events does not happen unaided.

Sadly though, however it was caused, its impact related, and won't be covered by the retailer/manufacturer. Repair or replace via (self) insurance is your only route.

A scratch is an action. The outcome of that action was a chip.

How do you know that the cat is called Sue?

I'd LOVE to be in on the call when the OP makes the call about how the damage occurred. It all sounds a bit far fetched really.

If you'e ever seen the damage an angry cat can do to the arms of furniture (or indeed to the arms of a human), then you'd know that the TV had no chance.
