Mice may be responsible for a blaze that killed nearly 100 cats at an animal shelter near the Canadian city of Toronto, officials say.
The fire at the humane society shelter in Oshawa also killed three dogs and some rats that were up for adoption.
An initial report from the fire marshal says mice or rats chewing through electrical wires in the ceiling are likely to have sparked the blaze.
Offers of help have been pouring in from animal lovers across Canada.

Just rewards?
Last year I had a preying mantis at our Nature Center. I put in crickets and he gobbled up the first batch. About a week later I put in a second batch. They ate the preying mantis.
What comes around goes around, I guess.

Mice chewing through wires starting a fire that kills a bunch of cats. Tom and Jerry, anyone? Itchy and Scratchy, then?

Mice caught my house on fire! Seriously. They chewed through the wire that went to the dryer and it overheated what was left of it.
Luckily I keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen because water would have electricuted me.

One thing that I don’t tolerate is MICE. I share a desk with someone at work, and guess what she has a picture of? You got it, a MOUSE. Unbelievable.
