Pets are supposed to be our best friends, but something they're our worst enemies!

A recent article from the Daily Mail told the story of Eve, a cat who cause $40,000 worth of damage to her owners' home.

40. Thousand. Dollars. Just let that sink in.

Owner Amber told the news outlet:

"My husband and I went to bed at about 10 p.m. and we had put Eve in the laundry room to sleep, as we have done for the past year. Around 6 a.m. the next morning Joe woke up for work, he went out of our room to get his uniform and was greeted by water almost at our front door. He quickly went to find the source of where it was coming from and found Eve on top of the washing machine with the laundry tap on full blast and the tap had been pushed so that it was looking directly at the ground."

Drying out the house and replacing all the carpet and food floors, plus the electric bills for the week, ended up costing the couple between 30 to 40 thousand dollars.
