This is not only real, it's not the first time it happens. It's a well known problem that occurs all over the world wherever humans erect steel post and also have dogs at pets.

Yeah I live nowhere near the sea and this was the cause of a stop sign falling over near a park.

It's socially unacceptable to get mad at people for letting their dog piss everywhere yet when cats do it, it's all hands on deck to eliminate the pest.

The only time a cat ever pissed everywhere was when it was sick, and everywhere was all over my apartment.

We were cat sitting and I’m mildly allergic. It was definitely all hands on deck to clean that piss up, it was suffocatingly stinky.
