As the old adage goes, curiosity killed the cat. Luckily in this case no cat died, but there sure was a lot of damage! One of the Florida Humane Society‘s shelter cats turned on a tap and left it running for 17 hours—the result was four inches of water and $5,000 in damages. That’s a big price to pay for a cat’s curiosity. The shelter hasn’t laid the blame on one cat yet, but suspect a younger female cat, who loves spending time in sinks, as the likely culprit.

The shelter is now gratefully accepting donations via their website, or by phone at 954-974-6152.
