The initial report indicated that Project Runway alum Kenley Collins threw her cat at fiance Zak Penley. The cat was only one of many objects thrown at Zak – the projectiles included apples, a laptop and water. Kenley later said that yes, she threw those other things at her fiance in the course of an argument, but she never threw her cat. Instead, she claimed to have “gently” tossed the cat in the vicinity of her fiance.

The cat’s day in court never came, but Kenley’s did. Kenley plead guilty to charges of disorderly conduct in a Brooklyn court on Monday. The felony charges of second-degree assault (with a deadly cat) were dropped. Kenley paid a $120 fine and will have to adhere to a two-year protection order keeping her from her now former fiance.

The cat fight’s over!

Former Project Runway season 5 finalist Kenley Collins pleaded guilty in a Brooklyn court Tuesday to a count of disorderly conduct, E! Online reports.

Arrested March 17 for assault after allegedly throwing her pet cat at her sleeping ex-fiancé, Zak Penley, Collins, 26, was given a $120 fine and a two-year protection order prohibiting her from contacting her ex. According to the district attorney, the reality star’s sentence was reduced because Penley never sought treatment.

In a March 26 court appearance, Collins denied using her pet as a weapon, saying instead that she put it on the bed “gently.” Initially, she faced a second-degree felony assault charge.

Charges are reduced all of the time, so I doubt the district attorney got involved and decided to prosecute on behalf of the cat. I said it at the time, but I really doubt Kenley actually threw that cat. Cats are not objects that can be thrown with any kind of ease – not that I’ve ever tried. But I have tried to move a cat who didn’t want to move, and the cat drew blood. The moral of the story: you too can chuck apples and laptops at your fiance, but never throw a cat.
