So the story goes like this: A man rushed himself to the Spartanburg Regional Medical Center on Saturday, saying that he had been shot in the knee by his cat. The man said he was getting medication out of his gun safe at about 7:30 p.m. when the cat jumped on the safe, knocking a .32 caliber handgun to the floor, where it discharged on impact, the bullet hitting him behind the left knee.
A likely story. I think that Sir Pounce was mad that dinner was a little late.
My favorite two sentences from the account of this story:
Investigators checked out the man’s home and found no signs of a struggle.
No charges have been filed.
A line from a Steve Martin routine comes to mind here: “I’ve got to get a pair of cat handcuffs, and I’ve gotta get ‘em right away …”

Cat handcuffs? You’re showing your age there. Funny stuff though
