Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren't representative of actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued. Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker machine, etc. One day, Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running downstairs. He finally tore himself from his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills. Apparently this had been happening all day long when they were not at home. Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the 'problem' for posterity [2:46].

Well, that's what they get for leaving the lid up!
At one time I was toying with the idea of trying to toilet train our cats. The authors who write on this subject caution that if you teach your cat to flush after itself, you run the risk of having them engage in just this sort of behavior.
Cats like running water! They like to stare at (and sometimes play with) gently running faucets as well.
Given how their visual system is biased more toward motion than color, it probably looks very cool to them, the way those rainbow-sparkly things look to us. (Yeah, that's a cat toy, but my experience is that it's the motion that attracts the cat.)
Crazy!
ROFLmeow! I love the way he generally waits until there's enough water in the tank to make it worth flushing again.
