From the Police Blotter 

Breaking news from Bates Township Michigan:

A man cooking in his kitchen was shot after one of his cats knocked his 9mm handgun onto the floor, discharging the weapon, Michigan State Police said.

Joseph Stanton, 29, of Bates Township in Iron County, was shot in his lower torso around 6 p.m. Tuesday, the state police post in Iron River reported. He was transported to Iron County Community Hospital.
...
State police said he was cooking at his stove when the cat knocked the loaded gun off the kitchen counter behind him.

The investigation is still on going, but the motive for the attack seems to be related to the owner's insistence that the cat be declawed. The Michigan prosecutor is so far considering this to be a case of self defense. I'll keep you posted.
