    Cat in New Orleans blamed for cutting power to thousands of people

    A cat in Louisiana reportedly cut power to more than 7,500 people when it snuck into a substation early Monday.
    Entergy New Orleans tweeted around 9:30 a.m. the cat "got into a substation that feeds parts of Uptown, Central City, Mid-City, and the [Central Business District] and caused a flash when it came into contact with [their] equipment."
    A cat got into a substation that feeds parts of Uptown, Central City, Mid-City, and the CBD, and caused a flash when it came into contact with our equipment. Crews are safely working to make equipment repairs and restore power to all as quickly as possible.

    Power was restored to customers hours later, around 11:30 a.m., the company said.
    The cat, which did not survive the incident, wasn't the first animal to find its way into a substation, but it was "unusual," Entergy said.

    Probably a Russian trained suicide cat.
