Cat Spat Leads To Shooting

Item: Dispute over cats turns into shooting/Spokesman-Review

More Info: According to the Sheriff’s Office, the roommates were watching television when a dispute arose over Kintner’s cats “making messes in the bathroom.” Kintner and one of his roommates began wrestling and kicking at each other. Kintner left the house after getting pinned on his back but returned with a .22-caliber rifle and opened fire, the Sheriff’s Office said. The victim, despite having a bullet wound to his stomach, charged the gunman and knocked the rifle away.

Question: Have you ever gotten into an argument with friend or neighbor over a pet?
