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.
Michelle Sand, a spokeswoman at the Iron River hospital, said Stanton was treated there before being transferred to Marquette General Hospital for further treatment. But Marcie Miller, a representative of the Marquette facility, said there was no record of the hospital receiving a patient by that name.
A telephone message seeking comment was left Wednesday at Stanton's home.
State police said he was cooking at his stove when the cat knocked the loaded gun off the kitchen counter behind him.

Hope this thread lasts longer than my "Hunter Wants Open Season on Domestic Cats" thread.
And how about this for a little trip down memory lane:

In response to this article I went ahead and put Sylvester down. I didn't like the look in his eyes anyway. I wouldn't have put it past him to attempt a "hit" on me when I wasn't looking/or asleep. Better to make a pre-emptive strike now than be sorry later.

Why did he have a round chambered, is all I want to know. Guns don't shoot people, cats with stoopid owners shoot people.
