(painting) Cat Food in Apt 1C

When I first moved to Toronto, I lived in a single room apartment (1b)sharing the bathroom with 2 other guys on my floor and the kitchen with 1 guy from my floor and 2 from the floor above me. The set up of the building had a 1 room apartment with its own bathroom and kitchen in the front, 2 single rooms and a 3rd with a kitchen in the back. That's how the 1st 2 floors were set up, the top floor was one big 2 bedroom apartment into which i would one day move into. That's a different story.
One day the guy living in 1a tells me a story about the man who used to live in apartment 1c. Guy from 1a wakes up one day and hears the guy in 1c has his taps running. He figures the guy is grabbing a glass of water or something and he gets into the shower. On his way back from the bathroom he hears the taps again and thinks he must be doing some dishes. He finishes getting ready for work and on his way out, again, he hears the running taps but thinks nothing of it.
That night after returning from a hard days work the guy from 1a hears the running water from inside apartment 1c. He tells himself that its just a funny little coincidence, nothing to worry about at all. He held onto that misconception until morning when he heard the taps running again, or was it running still. He called the land lord and as per usual got an answering machine. "Ya so this guy in 1c has had his tap running for a day or so, maybe he went away and his cat turned it on or something maybe you should come in and turn it off." Two more days drip passed before a second phone call was made. "Listen this guy could be dead in there for all we know you have to come and check it out."
Eventually the land lord showed up only to find that yes the man in 1c had in fact died. He had had a heart attack while doing some dishes the night before this story began and had made it part way to the door before sleeping into death. His cat having had no food after a day had begun to nibble at his ear leading to the decision of having a pet free building.
I was so blown away by this tale that I created a 158 piece puzzle.
