I have a fondness for Walthers, so I was more than interested. After cycling a couple of rounds (while pointing in what I thought was a safe direction) I went to lower the hammer using the decocker. What I didn't know was that my muzzle direction (while away from anyone) was directly at the cat's food dish, filled full of dry food. The cat was nosing her way towards the food dish when the decocker failed to safely lower the hammer, resulting in a 9mm "redistributing" the cat food all over the house, and directly into the cat's face. The situation was balanced by karma however, because the cat sought refuge about halfway up my thigh. I did not know that a cat could grip that solidly.

I think I must be lying to myself, because cats invariably like me, and I end up petting them. I once decked one of my best friends over his planned harm to a stray cat. but, but , ... honest, no, really, I don't like cats. I always say I don’t like cats.
