Some people enjoy the idea of purchasing a cheaper home that needs renovation, or flipping a house for the sake of selling it for more money one day. But when one woman bought her first home last year, she soon discovered that it was completely unlivable. Hannah, who goes by the username @it_is_hannah_banana on TikTok , recently detailed the “nightmare” discovery she made in her own house.
“The story of how cat pee destroyed my house,” she captioned her video at the time. She began by showing off various pictures of the house, as she told the harrowing story through text across the screen. The house was first purchased in July 2023 with a furnished basement, but soon after moving in her cat had “noticed something was wrong.
” Hannah’s cat found “dark spots” on the wooden floors and began “spraying” in the living area, which cats typically do to mark their territory. The TikToker decided to ask her father to come over and pull up some of the dark-spotted floorboards, assuming they would need to be replaced. After he pulled them up, it was discovered that all of the baseboards and the floorboards were “soaked in cat urine.
” They were not only darker than usual wood, but also noticeably rotting away. They decided to do more investigating throughout the house and found similar baseboards and floorboards in the bedroom covered in cat urine. “Found floor joists soaked in what appeared to be many months or even years of cat urine,” text across the screen.
