After running more than 14 years on Broadway, "Cats" has been sued by an audience member who says she was pawed and humiliated by a cast member during a performance. The theatergoer had an orchestra seat near the aisle, where Rum Tum Tugger danced and cavorted with audience members, apparently too close for her comfort. The suit charges assault, battery, negligence, and the infliction of emotional distress.
