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.

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…

Awwww! Look at the cute wittle kee-kat!!
THIS is why I am a dog person.
You think that was an accident??? Cats get so easily ticked….;-)
That can looks familiar…
I think I saw it as a kitten
Guns don’t kill people, Cats do!
Brings new meaning to “One Pissed off Pussy Cat!”
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.
Is that Frank J.’s cat?
If only the same thing would happen to Emeril Lagase.
BAM!
“You hate cats, huh? Go ahead, make my day!”

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….
I bet the cat was trained by this guy.

Kitty is ARMED!
Clicky!
Clicky again!
Shot in the lower torso, eh?
Boots! Report for remedial target practice, ASAP!
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.
