Cat's, why do they hate us?

BATES TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A man cooking in his kitchen was shot after one of his cats knocked his 9mm handgun onto the floor, discharging the weapon, Michigan State Police said. Joseph Stanton, 29, of Bates Township in Iron County, was shot in his lower torso around 6 p.m. Tuesday, the state police post in Iron River reported. He was transported to Iron County Community Hospital. State police said he was cooking at his stove when the cat knocked the loaded gun off the kitchen counter behind him.
A likely story, better check his paws for gun shot residue.

#6  I guess he never heard of a safety.

Hey, dumbass, I only have a revolver, but even I know it's that little lever thingy on the side there. And what it's for.

Shot in the "lower torso." That could include the ass. :-D

#3  And they're not going to tell us who manufactured the gun, so the rest of us cat owners will know what brand to avoid.

Owner: [terrified] NO! PUT THAT BACK!
Cat: Are you a man or a mouse?
Owner: MAN! I'M A MAN!
Cat: Could have fooled me! *BLAM*
