Cat with a gat.
Let's see if anyone knows what a 'gat' is. I'll bet some of you don't know what a 'cat' is either...

Story has to be wrong. Stanton clan are dog folk. No upstanding Stanton would have a cat. Must be a renegade. Show me his pic.

At the risk of neglecting other intrepid comedians in our midst, you two should tour. It would be purrfect.

Wasn't a Glock, as pictured. You can knock them off a table, or drop them 20 feet or more.
But if kitty pulled the trigger....

Another stupid news item - the guy should not have had his gun loaded and just sitting around the house. He deserved to be shot! :-)

Poor lil darling Kitty, you can tell by the look on it's SWEEEET face, it was totally an accident.
However, there IS a difference between stray cats, like those Bob & Lizzie Dole have taken into their home, and the sad *tails* of those kitties who simply go astray.
Now this owner shootin' kitty never made the news because it was obviously done in self defense.
