But how hard is it to clean the inevitable fur and hairball puke?
...or worse
Exactly this.
I had the bed in OPs meme and it was great at first! My cats loved it, they zoomed through day and night. Then one day I noticed only one of the cats would enter at a time and only while I wasn't looking. Eventually I found out one of our cats was holding politically extreme meetings under the bed which eventually resulted in an attempted coup d'etat.
Anyways, great bed. My cats run my house now and I get to sleep under the bed in a cool maze!
how did you come up with this on the spot? Psychedelics? (Serious question)
Some people just have silly minds. I tirelessly endeavor to be more like them.
I was pooping and I had a free minute to practice comedy!
I'm 90% sure this is how the SCP Foundation was founded
After having pets for the last 30 years this was my first thought... oh great, another place for them to leave me "presents" (like poop, vomit, dead mice, etc)
Seems like you'd just lift up the mattress like they did for this picture.
Lifting out a mattress to clean is a huge pain in the ass
Some beds have storage underneath. They have a lift mechanism that lifts the whole mattress. If you used one of those as a base, then cleaning gets a lot easier.
Traditional mattresses need to be rotated/flipped anyway. Also, it's a good idea to clean under the bed occasionally.
Wait why do they need to be rotated???
It helps them wear more evenly.
It sounds so easy when you say it
just keep a bunch of cardboard boxes from deliveries under the bed instead, then you can just throw them away when they get dirty
