Pet Cat Shoots Teenager
Associated Press - A teenage boy has been wounded in the US after his pet cat jumped on an air rifle which then fired a shot at him.
Josiah Boughman, 15, of Canton, Ohio, was grazed just below his ribs by the pellet.
His mother, Mary Boughman, told police her son had been shooting rats in a barn near the family home.
As he returned to the house, he put the air rifle on a picnic table and one of the family's pet cats jumped on the table and touched the gun.
Staff at the hospital where the boy was treated said the boy's wound was not serious.
