Fight over dirty kitty litter ends in violent confrontation

Most people don't enjoy doing daily household chores, especially if it involves disposing of pet waste. But one Florida man really doesn't like cleaning up after his cat. According to authorities in Palm Coast, Florida, a man threatened to kill his wife if she didn't take out a dirty cat litter box.

The 59-year-old allegedly picked up a knife and threatened to kill his wife as the two argued over who should do the 'dirty work.' He also reportedly threatened to 'throw their cat' against a wall. He is now facing a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
