Back in the day before I began to understand and respect cats, this story would have made me laugh. Now that I have Chip and Ink as friends, this story makes me peeved. Some dumb man was chasing a stray cat around his yard trying to shoot it with his shotgun. Instead of shooting the cat, the gun went off and he shot his own foot. He had to be air-lifted to the hospital. The cat escaped unharmed. He'll probably have a limp the rest of his life as punishment and will think twice before shooting at helpless animals.
