What is illicit cat possession, you might ask?

Let’s explain by using a practical example involving Golden State Warriors big man JaVale McGee.

According to a report by Patrick Redford over at Deadspin, McGee was not allowed to keep his cat, Raja, in his apartment when he was a member of the Dallas Mavericks. He also is alleged to have caused other damages to the apartment, furniture, and flooring.

Via Deadspin:

All in all, he agreed to pay for all the late and unpaid rent he owed, $12,000 in repairs, as well as $9,350 in cat-related fees. Subtracting his security deposit and tacking on an extra $10,000 for legal fees that Johnson requested, McGee agreed to pay $26,000. He submitted a petition to confess judgment yesterday.

Seems illicit enough.

Long live Raja. He seems cool and worth the $9,350 in cat-related fees.
