Cats Cause Hundreds of House Fires [in Korea] and Injuries by Turning on Stoves
NY Post | 12/31/21| Hannah SparksPet owners around the globe are being warned that their frisky felines make also quite effective firestarters, as a new safety review revealed that cats have been responsible for more than 100 house fires in South Korea over the past three years.
The Seoul Metropolitan Fire and Disaster Department reported on Thursday that they’d counted a total of 107 incidents of residential cat arson occurring between January 2019 and November 2021…
Experts believe cats most likely prompted the fires to spread by switching on electric burners as they wantonly traipsed over touch-sensitive buttons on the surface of a hotplate. Left on too long, the appliances can overheat and catch fire, according to the department.
Slightly more than half of the fires in South Korea started while homeowners were out, but four people have been injured in cases of cat arson, per the report.
“Cat-related fires are continuing to occur recently,” said department official Chung Gyo-chul in a statement. “We advise households with pets to pay extra attention as fire could spread widely when no one is at home.”

When cats get accused of lighting fires in their owners home they always blame it on the gay cat behind the garage…they refer to it as their alleybi…ruthless..
Our chief method of communication is surprise… surprise and fear… fear and surprise… our two methods of communication are fear and surprise… and ruthless efficiency… Our three methods of communication are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency… and an almost fanatical devotion to indifference.
