Some have a weird sense of humor. The killing of a cat is not funny.

Well, it is ridiculous, which piques the sense of humor in well-adjusted human beings.

Not, it isn't funny that, per se, a cat was killed.

But, considering that ordnance dropped from the sky and could demolished a house or people and all that happened was a kitty got nailed and blanket set smouldering, that qualifies as ridiculous.

You sound like a lay member of PETA.

Killing a cat - Not funny.

Artillery piece malfunctions - Not funny.

Killing a cat, inside a house (i.e. not aimed at the cat) with an artillery piece from more than 2 miles away - Come on.... That's sort of funny.

It brings up all sorts of funny, but bad taste comments, like...

That'll teach them not to get their cat licensed!

Or the military successfully tested a new "purr-seeking" artillery round today.

Not to the cat.

Sorry.
