TikToker Finally Found Out Why His Ceiling Has Loud Sounds for 6 Years

Imagine seeing cat shit all over your house for six years before finding the culprit.

TikTok user Collin Chew must be a better person than I am, because I would have folded and hired someone to get rid of the mystery animal after just one year.

Civet Cat Lived in Man’s House and Damaged Ceiling for Six Years

TikTok user Collin Chew posted a TikTok, showing how a civet cat was finally captured, thanks to contractors from the National Parks Board on 13 August.

According to Chew, he always wondered why his landed property’s ceiling has a reoccurring loud thud, and was damaged for seemingly no reason. Photos in the TikTok showed that the ceiling had some parts that looked chipped off.

It seems like he no longer needs to wonder whether his house is haunted by a ghost who likes dropping faeces everywhere. His TikTok video showed an NParks contractor catching the civet cat in a plastic bag, and then the creature trapped in a cage.

Showing his 6-year-long frustration with this animal, he stated, “Looks cute? Not when it shits and damages your property”, likening it to otters.

Chew’s video has received over 28,000 views.

Might As Well Make Coffee With The Six Years’ of Cat Shit

Many TikTok commenters had the same question: why did it take him six years to discover the civet cat?

Others also joked that Chew could have used all the cat shit to make kopi luwak, a type of coffee made from partially digested coffee cherries eaten and defecated by cats.

Not Actually Cats?

According to NPark’s website, civets are actually not cats. Instead, they’re more related to mongooses than cats, which is surprising.

These animals are nocturnal, and usually live deep in nature. However, they have also taken a liking to the roof spaces of urban buildings.

If you have a civet lurking around in your home, you can install a shining light on the roof to get them to relocate. You should also seal off roof entrances so that the civets won’t nest in there.

Additionally, don’t leave your food exposed, and close your windows if food is visible. This piece of advice won’t just keep civets, but probably also monkeys and other animals out of your house.

Alternatively, if a civet is trapped or injured, do call NParks’ Animal Response Centre at 1800-476-1600.
