That was life #7.
Prior to that, the cat belonged to Hendricks, Janis Joplin, and Elvis.

Tell him to get off of it before he breaks it!

Sammy Davis Jr. was in fact a real quick draw artist with a Colt SAA...
One of the fastest in the world. I always liked that about him.

A headliner in Las Vegas, entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. had dozens of film appearances and several Emmy and Grammy awards to his credit, but his favorite pastime was something far different. Spinning six-guns and beating the best at fast draw, Davis’ quickness with a Colt .45 handgun was legendary. It was said that in any quick-draw competition with fellow enthusiasts Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, Davis was easily the odds-on favorite.
A longtime gun owner and fast-draw competitor, Davis was a frequent guest star on Western TV shows such as “The Rifleman,” “Zane Grey Theatre” and “Wild, Wild West.” Like many Hollywood actors frequenting the Western genre, Davis had custom holsters specially made by Arvo Ojala to fit his single-action revolvers. His nickel-plated Colt revolver, engraved with his name on the backstrap, was modified for the fast-draw sport with an especially contoured hammer and a light trigger pull. Shortly after Davis’ death in 1990, this revolver was sold to a Hollywood gun shop, and in 2011 it was donated to the National Firearms Museum.

I just read Lincoln got shot.
Re: Godspeed Morris - 07/07/15
Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead, too...
Re: Godspeed Morris - 07/07/15
For a moment I was in awe, that frigging cat is still alive?
I would have not fed Morris for four or five days, then the arrogant little prick would have been begging for a PBJ.
