But how hard is it to clean the inevitable fur and hairball puke?

[–] navi@lemmy.tespia.org 133 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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)

[–] Lupus@feddit.org 20 points 6 months ago

Some people just have silly minds. I tirelessly endeavor to be more like them.

[–] navi@lemmy.tespia.org 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I was pooping and I had a free minute to practice comedy!

Seems like you'd just lift up the mattress like they did for this picture.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 51 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Lifting out a mattress to clean is a huge pain in the ass

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

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.

It sounds so easy when you say it

the cats are gonna take up the whole bed and then you'll be forced to sleep in the maze

not my mind, sure as hell not my wife's

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hmm, isn't scent one of those senses tied closely to memory and is permeable to a mattress?

Also, at OP, cleaning wouldn't be too difficult. Lift mattress, apply vacuum hose.

Great place to store small dead animals

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 35 points 6 months ago

more like this because my cat is too dumb to find the exit:

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No absolutely not!

The little orange Zip is already dragging socks under the bed to fight. I would never be able to get them back

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

She is a whirl-wind of terror for sure.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Try to give them medicine once and you'll be lifting the box spring and mattress off late at night! I guarantee it...

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Before attempting such things (with or without this crazy setup), it is best to block all escapes/hiding spots, like closing a door to a room with these risks.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 28 points 6 months ago

My dumbass cats would get lost down there and we'd have to let them out twice a night

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 28 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Good luck if your cat shits under the bed

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Do you want a spider empire? Because this is how you get a spider empire.

[–] SW42@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago

Not if the cat overlords roam the labyrinth. If it moves its free game :)

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

Taking apart the bed at night because they brought a mouse there.

Nice.

[–] SW42@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago (2 children)

This is the stupidest idea I’ve ever seen - I love it!

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Stupid idea but great execution

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 16 points 6 months ago

2am

kak kak karrrph karrpugh kak kak kak kaaaaak kbbblorp

Hairball puke pile under my bed.

I mean there's already one there, but i can at least get to it.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

One of our cats would go in and we would never see her again...

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

That's cats regardless of bed trappings

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

And its not too dark for them in the interior?

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago (2 children)

You don't have cats, do you? Lol

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I don't 😣

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 months ago

I do. They don't go into the donut because it's too dark, i have to cut a hole at the back so they would go in. Bunch of pussy i say.

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)
[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I understand that, but the center has no light. Or does it have a dim LED?

there's still enough light for cats, believe me; and they use their whiskers as navigational aid too btw

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

So I just got a cat and I have been leaving the light on by the litterbox at night. Are you telling me I can shut it off and he'll still find it ok lol I am dumb

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Yeah, that’s what you need to hear at 2 AM.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

More like: Cats at 3AM all over your face.

[–] lapislazuli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

And neither of yous will be getting any sleep. 🙃

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This'll be great for a rabbit
