Cat blamed for Nampa blackout

NAMPA -- A cat picked the wrong place to come in from the cold, and caused a power outage that blacked out more than 12,000 homes and businesses.

The cat entered an electrical substation, snuggled up to a warm transformer and contacted a live circuit, causing a short that blew out nine feeder lines Monday afternoon, Idaho Power officials said.

The short circuit killed the cat.

It's the towns fault. Circuits are suppose to be covered, protected, and locked.

Not to mention, there's a reason as to why we are suppose to spayed, nuter, and never abandend our pets.

If it wern't for the cat, it could have been a rat. However, the cat ate the rat before it could cause the accident.

I guess we could say that this cat was on its ninth life.
