Do not let your cats use the fax

I read this on Reuters

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.

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.

You can read the rest of the story here but I think it´s time to really tell our pets where they are allowed to be and not. The cats were quick to run to a safe place and are ok.

    Oh, and cleaning the proper kitty toilet…
