The Post reports that Project Runway finalist Kenley Collins is letting her ex-fiance keep the cat that she threw at him. On Wednesday morning, Collins was arrested after throwing cat Arlo, then a laptop, apples and water at Zachary Penley in their Brooklyn apartment, an incident the fashion designer described as being blown out of proportion and, perhaps, the manifestation of a bad break-up. The former couple had two cats and Collins said, "The girl cat [Sandra] is mine and the boy cat [Arlo] is his," which is just sad to us—Sandra and Arlo are losing each other! And Project Runway winner Leanne Marshall told the Post (which also has a shot of Collins hamming it for a photographer), "This should put a clear answer to the question I am most frequently asked, 'Was Kenley really that awful, or was she just edited like that?' When she got angry, I knew to keep my distance. Clearly, she needs therapy."
