Two months after losing a $500,000 judgment in a five-year long gender discrimination case, the Spokane Country Club has filed for bankruptcy protection.

The club filed for bankruptcy Thursday, claiming between $1 million and $10 million in debt, the lion's share of the debt coming from a $1.1 million claim for fees and costs to attorney Mary Schulz for representation of four plaintiffs in a five-year legal battle against the club.

Schulz was listed among the top 20 creditors the club owes money and is the only creditor whose claim is listed as disputed.

In March a jury has ruled in favor of four women in a gender discrimination case. The plaintiffs in the case claimed the club denied them full benefits because of their gender. The Spokane Country Club lost the case and the court awarded the plaintiffs more than $500,000.

The women had originally sued the club for $4.5 million.

A cat in Chattaroy is safe and sound with her owner after being stuck 60 feet above ground for six days. 

A KXLY viewer, Christina Poor, emailed us asking for help to get her neighbor's cat down from a pine tree in the Riverside Village Mobile Home Park. The cat had been up in the branches for almost a week and was so high that residents couldn't reach her. 

The owner had contacted the local fire station, but learned that despite what we see on T.V. fireman don't actually rescue cats from sticky situations. She then called arborists around the area, but couldn't afford the fee to save her pet. 

SCRAPS was able to contact the Pacific Northwest Animal Welfare Project. The group helps cover the costs of veterinary care, foster homes and transportation of local rescued animals and operates only on donations. PNW Animal Welfare Project paid for an arborist to bring the cat down safely. 

What can you do if your cat get stuck?
