$300 WATER BILL?!?!? A Cat Behind It
April 27, 2008
Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills.
They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren’t representative of
actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high
bills continued.
Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything
checkedfor leaks or problems: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes,
indoor
pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker
machine, etc.
One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing
water running downstairs.
He finally tore himself from his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled
onto the cause of such high water bills. Apparently this had been
happening all day long when they were not at home. Knowing that
few would believe him, he taped a segment of the ‘problem’ for
posterity

LooL @ UR KAT LoLoL
I’m keeping my bathroom door closed from now on!
Don’t leave the lid open ;-).
Who taught the cat to flush the toilet?
Well, in a way it is a good thing - if someone forgets to flush, there comes your cat ;-).
Ain’t it great. You’ve gotta cat with no sense of the actual cost of flushing the toilet for fun.
Hilarious !
Yeah. I’m so not surprised at this little fresh cat. Our cat Max is quite clever as well - only his cleverness causes a spike in our oil heating bills. While we’re out, we keep the heat grates closed off with the exception of one - which is in the same room as the thermostat. Max spreads his body out so that it completely covers and blocks off the entire register, not allowing heat to get into the room until it has already passed through and been absorbed by his body. As a result, the thermostat constantly thinks that it’s freezing in the room, and churns out ever more heat - and Max is insatiable, so he keeps taking it all in while the rest of us freeze - including our other, much less selfish cat, Lotus.
It’s my theory that Max has at least largely contributed to an oil heating bill greater than our monthly rent - and considering we live near Boston, spending more on heat than rent is really a fantastic feat!
Haha, funniest thing I’ve seen all day. That’s one smart (and curious) cat!
So the cat never flushed the toilet while the owners were at home?
Suuuuuuuuuuuuure he didn’t.
[…] Here is another good reason to not have an indoor […]
Maybe there was a big log in there.
That is awesome. I wonder how they stopped the cat?
Good video, fake story. Don’t take old videos floating around the internet and make up stories to go along with it.
Gato provoca gastos de $300 dolares en la factura del agua…
Jennifer and Jim continuaban recibiendo gastos muy altos en su factura del agua. Un día Jim se despertó escuchando como corría el agua en el baño. Se dio cuenta de lo que pasaba y lo filmó. Aparentemente esto pasaba todo el día mientras no estaba…
That is one smart kitty!
The cat is hoping to solve one of the greatest questions of our time: Just where the hell does all of that water end up?!

One really easy solution on this problem, put down the f***ing toilet lid, that will kill all the fun for the cat.

THere is no video. What was the cat doing??!?!?!?!??!?!!!
[…] go go go […]
[…] » noticia original […]
that cat has just blown my mind.
Also: insert obvious Meet the Parents joke here.
Why is the article all broken up? Reads horribly.
At about 0:50 into the film, the person behind the camera says “Our water bill gonna be so outrageous!” I don’t think the story behind the video is true, however, cute cat. Sucks to be those people even if the story is exaggerated a bit. =]
All I see is a cat looking into the toilet bowl.
Fascinating, but I’m curious - did the cat only flush the toilet during the weekdays when they weren’t home? Why not nights? Weekends?
¡¡¡¡¡¡WATER IS AUTHENTICALLY GOLD!!!!
THESE PERSONS ARE AMERICANS OF COURSE, THEY DONT THINK IN ANYBODY THAN THEMSELVES. I CONSIDER THE WAST OF WATER NO NECESARY ARE A COMPLETELY DELICTIVE, AND THIS PERSONS WOULD GO TO THE JAIL.
So what are you going to do now?
Oh my gosh! That is so incredible! Have to laugh!
shu-it
These people pay for water on a per-usage basis?!
Well, then they’re idiots and the cat is mocking them for it.
In the picture above the cat is white and the cat that’s flushing
the toilet is black and white. Maybe it fell in the toilet and the
black got washed off.
Stupid cat.
THAT CAT IS TOTALLY PHOTOSHOPPED
[…] from skypedia.org posted with vodpod […]
This story is a fake at 1:02 you can hear a womans voice. But the story said only the man was home.
I saw this video a few years ago. Cute cat. Maybe when I originally saw this video I would have believed the story. A dead giveaway is that the pictured cat in the feature story is a long-hair white cat, and the cat in the video is a short-hair black and white cat.
I watched the clip and had a laugh… animals are always good entertainment. then I made the mistake of reading several of the comments and lost my smile. What a bunch of cynical, opinionated, pathetic, morons.. can’t you just watch it, laugh and move on?? ffs.. this is what’s wrong with the world.
Are those both dudes talking on the video or is one a deep voiced female?
i is in urs bathroom wasting yous bill
Obviously the cat isn’t completely dumb, as it work out if you push down on this you get swirling water.
KILL THE CAT
kill the cat. then eat it.
[…] A guy finally figures out why his water bill is so high. And it’s his cat’s fault. […]
The question is, why doesn’t the cat ever get bored - I mean is it trying to find out if the blue really lasts for 2000 flushes?
my cat leaves his iPod on charge and uses up all of the electricity…
my girlfriend won’t believe me.
OBVIOUSLY A FAKE.
Annual costs for owning a cat:
Food = $240-$300
Litter = $150-$200
Vet = $250-$500
Collars = $15-$25
Toys = $25-$100
Water = $3,500 - $5,000
Soooo….they catch him flushing ONCE- OK he’s busted- why do they continue letting him flush over & over again & wasting more H2o?????? They DESERVE to have a huge bill & CAT ALLERGIES TOO!
It figures a black cat stealing water…..lol it’s half black and half white…like Obama
wow man!! i’m thinking of getting one of those long haired cats for my toilet……i’m always running out of toilet paper,so the flea bitten fluff ball could come in handy!!
my cat got 1st prize at a bird show!!……..he just jumped up,reached in the cage & got it!!
Had that been a dog, they would have just tossed him outside. People give too much credit to those evil things.
Cats were originally bred in Persia which is now Iran. That proves the Iraniwanians know all about cats. Dick Cheney, Tony Blair and me have discovered thousands of secret bunkers in Iran where cats are being bred and trained to flush toilets whenever their masters are not watching. We have proof that those cats are being shipped to the USA and planted in homes all across the very nation that saved Iraq by stealing its oil and blowing up Osama Bin Laden’s HQ in Iraq.
It’s obvious the Iraniwanians intend to deprive Americans of water until they die of thirst. I recently was informed that all the water that comes out of our taps comes from lakes and rivers. Their plan is obvious. They intend to flush all of our water down the toilet until our lakes and rivers dry up and we have no more water to drink. Their evil cat agents are now carrying out that plan. The cat in the movie is just one of millions of such cats at work in America right now.
I have therefore begun my second Great War to Purge Evil. Tomorrow we launch Operation Bad Kitty. Our troops will invade Iran and destroy the cat breeding bunkers and, just as we did in Iraq, if any oil wells get in the way we’ll Americanize them. I know th Iraniwanians want this. I know it because God spoke to me again and told me they want it.
Here at home, troops will be entering homes and shooting cats on sight. Please keep your children away from your cats lest they be confused with insurgents and take a bullet or 10 themselves. Sorry, but it’s necessary to protect you. And besides it makes me feel like a man. And it will make you proud to be an American.
Oh, btw, the cats are in France and Canada too but they refused to follow my great leadership and go to Iraq so let’s not tell them about the cats. When they get thirsty they’ll come to us for help and then we’ll invade them too. I hear Canada has lots of oil we don’t own yet, get it?
LOL
CATS
fake
I’m sorry but this is sooo fake. That cat doesn’t even look real and its so obvious this keyboard I’m typing on right now is photoshopped. Nothing is real everything is so fake!!!
Issa Deeb, I hope you dont consider yourself a “journalist” or anything. I personally just stumbled this, and have no idea what this site is about. I do know you are a frickin liar. You purposely hijacked an old video, faked a story to go with it. Junk like this is why all the CNN/MSNBC/Big corporation News followers are able to say “anyone can put up a webpage, how can you trust your source?”… going on a bit of a rant here, but then again, peak oil is coming and we need to reshape our society in a BIG way.. why not start with some jack@$$ trying to pull one over..
See, if you just put your kitten in a glass, this wouldn’t happen.
there are 3 things wrong with this post of video and story:
1} he does not sound sick
2} there is 2 people in the backround (obviosly)
3} what is sooooooooo amaing? it is a cat flushing a toilet!!!
no love,
me
Hilarious. Cat hypnotized by the water.
