Do-meow-stic cat-tastrophe: Mischievous cat totals woman's $179 toaster
- Replies 20
If you're a cat owner, you're likely familiar with the early morning demands for breakfast, the persistent meowing, and the occasional act of rebellion when things don't go their way.
Cats, with their unique personalities and sometimes unpredictable behaviour, are a source of endless amusement and love for their owners.
However, for Tiarna Wrobel, her pet sphynx's act of defiance took a rather unpleasant turn, resulting in the demise of her $179 De Longhi toaster.
The Sphynx breed, known for its hairless appearance, is also renowned for its playful and mischievous nature. Tiarna's sphynx, for one, decided to express its displeasure in a rather unconventional manner.
After a morning of incessant meowing starting at 5 a.m., the disgruntled feline chose to vent its frustration in the family's toaster when breakfast wasn't promptly served…
Tiarna’s cat decided to defecate inside the De Longhi toaster!
‘When I decided to [get up] at 8 a.m. is when I found the monster t*rd in the toaster,’ Tiarna recalled.
'I literally burst out laughing as I could not actually believe what I was seeing and smelling. Seeing the precision, it was almost like someone perfectly placed it in there,' she shared, recounting her disbelief upon discovering the faecal matter in her appliance.
The toaster, unfortunately, had to be discarded, and Tiarna is now in the market for a new one, preferably on sale.
The incident left her baffled, as her sphynx had never exhibited such behaviour before, although it had a history of urinating in the bathroom sink.
Tiarna just chalked it up to her cat's regular morning mischief. She said he's known to kick up a fuss, meowing like crazy and making a mess, whenever his breakfast's late or he's after something.

Social media users found the situation hilarious, with one commenting, ‘That was personal.’
‘The aim and concentration that must have taken place,’ another pointed out.
‘I mean, I couldn’t even be mad. I’m just impressed. I just want to know how and why,’ a third person said.
Someone even shared a similar experience. A social media user wrote, ‘Mine peed in ours, and I didn’t know and made some toast and was halfway through eating it when I realised.’
Understanding Feline Behaviour: Why Do Cats Act Out?
Cats are known for their independence and sometimes unpredictable behaviour. While this incident may seem humorous, it's essential to understand why a cat might act out in such a manner.
Cats are creatures of habit and routine, and any disruption to their schedule, such as a delayed breakfast, can cause them to become stressed and act out.
Most cats are trained to use their litter box from an early age, and sudden changes in their toileting habits can be a sign of stress or even a medical issue.
If your cat starts to urinate or defecate outside their litter box, it's always a good idea to seek advice from a vet, as suggested by the RSPCA's Knowledgebase.
In Tiarna's case, her sphynx's behaviour could most probably be chalked up to a display of displeasure at a delayed breakfast. However, it's always important to monitor your pet's behaviour for any sudden changes or signs of distress.
