It'd be useful if we knew what the hell you were talking about, my man.
According to what you are describing, the plot device used is the "in media res"
This technique In Media Res means " in the middle of things", and that is exactly how it works, in media res is to start a story in the middle of the story itself instead of its beginning, that is, start the story of the facts showing the characters already involved in the conflict that structures the story, using this technique allows a more dramatic beginning of narration: the story will begin with the protagonist already in trouble, and with this we will capture the interest of the reader from the first moment.

Answer:
I would talk to my friend and try to come to an agreement so that he or she would pay half the repairs the sofa would need.
Explanation:
Although animals are unpredictable and my friend is not to blame for the damage his cat did to my sofa, the cat is my friend's responsibility, just as it was my responsibility to look at what the cat was doing and prevent him from destroying anything .
As we cannot charge the cat to pay for the damages it caused, the best option would be to enter into an agreement with my friend and ask him to pay half the repair that his cat caused.
