A Little Pee'd Off? Shocking!

You would think that after living here--meaning here in this building--for over a year, Tai would consider the entire place his. But for some reason, he still finds the need to pee on things in our apartment and in the restaurant. Fortunately it doesn't happen too often and we're able to clean it up before the customers see it. It's frustrating, though. It's not like he can't get outside to take care of business. There's always a door open somewhere.

One morning recently, we were going through our usual routine to get the restaurant ready for opening. We plugged in a main extension cord that powers a few lights and a fan. Immediately that line went dead. Why? Because Tai peed on the one little piece of the fan's electrical cord that had been repaired a very long time ago... and the pee must have penetrated to the wires, shorting out the line.

Can't figure out why Tai would pee at exactly that spot. Good thing, though, he didn't pee on it while the line was live. It has been proven that if you pee on a live wire, the electrical current can travel up the water stream and... well... the result would have been shocking. Ouch!
