(AP) - BC the cat survived, but likely used up
one of his nine lives when someone shot an arrow through his head.
The 2-year-old gray and white tabby came home one day last week
looking like he was doing a bad imitation of the Steve Martin skit
from the 1970s. BC's arrow was pointing front-to-back rather than
side-to-side.
Owner Ralph Henderson says BC was walking and meowing, but was having trouble eating because the
arrow kept bumping the cat food bowl.
Dr. Troy Majure, the veterinarian who removed the arrow, says it
chipped BC's skull and somehow arched over the brain.
The only signs of the kitty's injury this week were scabs on the
front and back of his head.
