HERE KITTY KITTY

Houston is best known as a city where almost all men, and many women too, pack a pistol, but on Sunday one of its kittens made national headlines

Sunday was Mothers Day, but that didn't stop the usual gun-play in Houston.  However there was a different kind of excitement in the Fleetwood subdivision.

A loose Bengal Tiger was spotted prowling on the streets before laying down on the front lawn of a house.  

When a brave, or stupid, off-duty Waller County sheriff's deputy found out about it, he rushed over to the scene to "protect the neighbors."  With gun in hand, he walked to within a few feet of the big cat.  That's when a man came out of the house shouting, "Don't shoot, don't shoot!'

The man then led his kitty back into the house thereby depriving the deputy of the chance to bag a tiger.

Once the excitement had died down, the neighbors resumed listening to the gunfire.
