Is there a /c/zoomies yet? This would provide the community with content for years
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
more like this because my cat is too dumb to find the exit:
ahh welcome to the nightmare in cleaning street
Outta sight, outta mind.
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.
Many double mattresses are super unwieldy and heavy. You try to lift them, they just end up bending from one side, super annoying. your waist also does not thank you after this process.
not my mind, sure as hell not my wife’s
@everyone in this comment section:
I was just wondering what kind of billionaire mansion people would have to live in to not use the space under their bed for storage
Good luck if your cat shits under the bed
or has kittens.
or dies.
Cats do that regardless or do you think they’re stand still.
My dumbass cats would get lost down there and we’d have to let them out twice a night
But how hard is it to clean the inevitable fur and hairball puke?
just keep a bunch of cardboard boxes from deliveries under the bed instead, then you can just throw them away when they get dirty
…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.
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
Traditional mattresses need to be rotated/flipped anyway. Also, it’s a good idea to clean under the bed occasionally.
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.
Welcome to cat life.
Woah Woah
You do not need pets to vacuum out under your bed
I have a bed similar to this, and it just gets a little dusty. I don’t think I’ve actually cleaned it in a decade, and at most there’s just a very faint layer of dust (I just checked) in one or two spots. What are you doing that a mostly sealed area is getting dirty?
Why would I vacuum under my bed? That’s where I shove items when I pretend like I’m cleaning the house.
Of course you don’t need pets for that. You just need a vacuum.
And a will of steel
I don’t need to lift my mattress to vacuum under the bed either
I’m trying to teach them to hoover under the bed, but they refuse.
It sounds so easy when you say it
Great place to store small dead animals
the cats are gonna take up the whole bed and then you’ll be forced to sleep in the maze
Try to give them medicine once and you’ll be lifting the box spring and mattress off late at night! I guarantee it…
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.
Taking apart the bed at night because they brought a mouse there.
Nice.
One of our cats would go in and we would never see her again…
Do you want a spider empire? Because this is how you get a spider empire.
Not if the cat overlords roam the labyrinth. If it moves its free game :)
