Here Kitty, Kitty
In Arizona, a man who really loves his cat was sentenced to five months of prison yesterday. The story goes like this:
Jeffrey Francis Cullen reported a tree fire to the local fire department. A three-person crew arrived and Cullen asked the fire fighters to rescue his cat from the tree. The batallion leader, however, told Cullen to either call animal control or wait until the cat got hungry and climbed down itself.
That wasn’t what Cullen wanted to hear. So he ran inside his house, pulled out a small pistol, and came back out guns ablazing. Fortunately, the fire fighters grabbed a 12-year-old in the vicinity and ran like hell. Nobody was shot.
Cullen admitted he might’ve been drinking.
