Pet cat causes $40,000 worth of damage to her family home

[Satanica]

I think it was intentional. Kitty was tired of being shut in that laundry room every night! Hat tip to ghosttruck!

[....]
Whilst Amber and Joe Fauser were sleeping, they believed their one-year-old cat Eve was doing the same in the laundry room.

However, when Joe, 25, woke up for work as a security guard the next morning at 6am he was greeted by pools of water flooding the entirety of the downstairs of the house in Adelaide, South Australia.

Quickly going to check on the cat, Joe found Eve sat on top of the washing machine and the attached laundry tap on full blast causing a stream of water to fill the room.

'He quickly went to find the source of where it was coming from and found Eve on top of the washing machine with the laundry tap on full blast and the tap had been been pushed so that it was looking directly at the ground.

'We knew it was Eve straight away because she is always causing havoc and playing with things because the Bengal in her makes her super curious.

Amber said: 'We hired a flood emergency services team.

'It took the whole day for them to dry the house as they had to suck up as much excess water as possible, rip up our floor boards and some of our carpet and placed 30 different dryers and humidifiers in the house which stayed there for seven days and made our electricity bill sky rocket.

[....]
'It cost $16,100 to dry the house out, $10,000 to replace all of our brand new carpeting and wooden flooring, $1000 in electricity bills from having the dryers and humidifiers running all day for seven days.

'The team who restored our house said it was between $30-$40k worth of damage.

'To make sure this doesn't happen again we bought child safety locks and we aren't letting Eve into the laundry room anymore.

'We bought her an outdoor enclosure with access to the garage and only let them roam the house when someone is home and awake!'

This is what happens when you're mean to the kitty. Next time you will sleep with the fishies, along with shit in your slippers and every bit of glassware you own will be broken on the floor. Said every cat everywhere in solidarity with EVE.

I had to go back and edit, because I forgot to credit ghosttruck. Neither of us can really visualize how this happened. You would have to disconnect the hoses on mine for this to happen.

Cats are assholes but I cant blame the cat if they locked me up every night id do the same.

Okay I love animals everybody here knows that I love animals. Cats admittedly I can take it or leave them. But as God is my witness I would be sorely sorely tempted to remand my kitty cat if I had one to the custody of the nearest Chinese food place after this!

No Gofundme, just sensibly insured and taking personal responsibility.
I like Amber, Joe, and Eve of Adelaide, Australia.
