Kitchen Floods Daily! Man Fed Up, Catches "Midnight Water Ghost" and Gives Up on Repairs

A man recently revealed that his home often experienced mysterious flooding, prompting him to set up a surveillance camera to uncover the culprit. To his amusement, the footage revealed that the perpetrator was none other than his own cat, Smudge. Instead of scolding the cat, he decided to let Smudge continue enjoying her water play, leading to an entertaining outcome that delighted online viewers.

The Discovery

The man, who goes by the username Sirr13 on Reddit, shared that he would frequently wake up to find his kitchen corner flooded, with no apparent damage to any appliances. Confused, he installed a camera at the scene to capture the key moment. The footage, recorded around 4:30 a.m., showed Smudge, a long-haired tortoiseshell cat, dipping her paws into the water bowl and splashing water all over the floor. After completing her task, Smudge nonchalantly walked away, shaking off the evidence from her paws.

The Reaction

Upon discovering the truth, Sirr13 found himself laughing at the sight of water on the floor, as Smudge seemed proud of her mischief. Instead of disciplining her, he decided to purchase an absorbent mat to place near the water bowl. This way, Smudge could continue playing with water without causing more mess. For Sirr13, the happiness of his cat was paramount.

The Online Response

The video of Smudge's antics quickly gained popularity online, with many viewers praising the cat's playful nature. The incident highlights the unpredictable and lively personalities often associated with tortoiseshell cats, known for their "tortitude".
