Woman Shoots Husband Defending Cat

(CBS/KHOU) HOUSTON - Police say a woman in Texas shot her husband after he threatened one of her cats.

According to CBS affiliate KHOU, 42-year-old Audrey Deen Miller has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Police say the incident occurred at the couple's Spring home around 7:30 a.m., KHOU reports. Miller and her husband were arguing when he threatened to shoot her cat with a pellet gun. Miller then pulled out a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun and shot her husband in the stomach.

My husband and I have had this talk.  The cats would come first, and he'd know it was how I promised.

But seriously, what dysfunctional world do we live in where people get shot over threatening a cat?  Maybe they were off their meds.  We can't blame the heat anymore.
