Now THIS Is Catblogging
My wife and I have had to work extra hard in the last month or so to be cat owners. I will not bore you with the details. But that fact made me both relate to and laugh at this story.
Two kittens picked the wrong place to relieve themselves when they urinated on a fax machine, sparking a fire that extensively damaged their Japanese owner's house.I really want to know what this fax machine looked like. It is absolutely instinctive for cat's to do that somewhere they can scratch, and I don't know of a "scratchable" fax machine. But one of the local fireman that responded to the scene wins the "obvious statement of the year award."
Investigators in the western city of Kobe have concluded that the fire in January was caused by a spark generated when the urine soaked the machine's electrical printing mechanism.
"If you have a cat, or a dog for that matter, be careful where they urinate," Oyabu said. "Especially keep them away from electrical appliances and wires."Anybody here a Ren and Stimpy fan?
When nature's callin'
Don't be stallin'
Use your common sense
Before you let it flow
Find a place to go
Just don't whiz on the electric fence
If you're gonna explode
You can use the commode
Of igloos, cave dwellings or tents
No need to explain when you gotta drain
Just don't whiz on the electric fence
You can swizzle on the sofa
Piddle in the air
Tinkle in the toilet
That's why it is there
(Toilet flushing)
You can let it rain
In the breakdown lane
While waving at ladies and gents
Just don't whiz on...
Don't whiz on
Don't whiz on the electric fence.
No! No! No! No! Wiiiiizzzzz!
