There’s no doubt that feline excrement is one of the foulest, hardest-to-remove smells in the modern household. That said, dealing with a shit-happy cat and a roommate who hates it is typically best achieved with cleaning supplies and stern conversations–not wrestling matches and .22 caliber rifles.Alan Kintner, a 55-year-old guy from Spokane, was arrested for allegedly ignoring these steps and moving straight to Second Amendment remedies. And the worst part is: despite shooting his roommate in the belly, Kintner apparently still got his ass kicked.The Spokesman-Review has the report today.View Larger MapIt happened late Saturday in a rural area northwest of Spokane, and started when Kintner and his 44-year-old roommate supposedly got in a fight about Kintner’s cats crapping in the bathroom. Words were exchanged, then it turned into a wrestling match.Kintner apparently was no match for the younger, stronger roommate, and soon found himself humiliatingly pinned on his back. But instead of conceding the fight, he allegedly went outside and fetched his .22 caliber rifle, which he then returned with and shot his roomie in the gut.Unfortunately for Kintner, a .22 caliber rifle is not the meanest gun on the rack, and the wound only enraged the victim, who then charged Kintner, knocked the gun away, and presumably commenced a thorough beatdown on the old guy.In the end, Kintner was in jail, his roommate was in the hospital, and the cat was free to piss and shit uncontested in the bathroom all it wanted.
