From the linked article:

&quot Higgins) said he’s received a number of complaints about the cat from people with allergies.

St. Amour said the library has never received a complaint about Penny."

So...while the library hasn't received a single complaint (from anyone other than Higgins) about Penny, "a number" of people saw fit to complain to a chronic litigant with no official relationship to the library?

Cool story, bro...
