Cat shoots owner

In another bizarro piece of pet news: Cat Shoots Owner.

An excerpt from the report reads: "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."

I still say it's not the poor feline's fault. If there's anything that should be done, give that cat shooting lessons. Nyar.

Ah cats. Either you love them, or you hate them. In case it's the latter, here's 8 more reasons why you should hate cats.
