When we’re away, the cats will play, won’t they? I know my cats have certainly gotten into some mischief in my absence. Cats can sometimes let their curiosity get the best of them, which is very true regarding your home. Cats are known for sending breakables flying, but there are some cats, like a one-year-old Bengal cat named Amber from the UK, who recently learned to teach herself a new trick at her owners’ expense.
If you didn’t already guess from the title, smarty pants Amber learned how to turn on the bathroom sink faucet herself. Bengals are known for being super bright kitty cats and for their love of water. So, if you ask me, it’s not surprising that Amber learned how to get herself fresh water whenever she saw fit.
But the issue is that she hasn’t come around to learning how to turn off the water yet. So, as you suspected, given the title, this did not work out well for her humans when they returned home after being away. In just thirty minutes, little Amber flooded the upstairs bathroom of their home.
Once she walked in the door, Jasmin, the lady owner of the house, instantly knew who was to blame for the water all over the living room floor—Amber!
She said that,
“I knew as soon as I walked into the living room what had happened. I ran upstairs and the tap was on full and water was overflowing the sink. It was everywhere.”
Jasmin told Kennedy news that,
“The week before this happened, I came home from work to the upstairs tap running but luckily this time the plug wasn’t in. I was so confused as to why it was on. Then the next day, I was in the bathroom and Amber came in and jumped up on the sink and started chewing the tap.”
Watch spry little Amber in action here…
So, the question is, does this naughty kitty feel guilty for the costly shenanigans that she pulled? Well, I suppose no one will ever know. And as far as tricks are concerned, it seems that Amber is quite the clever girl who loves learning new tricks.
“The ceiling hasn’t fallen through, which is a blessing. We live in an old cottage-style house so the water was dripping through the wooden boards. It will be a case of replacing the flooring that we have had to rip up.” — Jasmin Stork
Perhaps next time, which hopefully isn’t the case, Amber will think to turn the water off…or her humans will think to close the door tightly to prevent the floodgates from occurring once more.
