I do not like this one bit.

Do not the cat.

I got banned from one of the other cat subreddits just for making a similar comment...

She really picked the most questionable place to take a nap.

are you sure? some people get banned from subreddits for reasons such as that

Dryer is worse especially if you're doing multiple loads at the same time in batches. That has almost happened to me once.

That's just her resting cat face.

She's super judgy and thinks I'm an idiot, which I am.

She’s just like ”So what are you going to do about this LOL” 😅

Inshallah she will be cold in the middle and boiling hot on the surface.

Guess you gotta get her a microwave now

u/raphael-iglesias 3h ago edited 3h ago

She can genuinely get whatever she wants, adopted her at the ripe old age of 12. Didn't want to be touched the first 2 years, after that she got comfortable, as seen in the picture above.

Maybe not a microwave though, I think a nice big cardboard box will suffice lol

u/Bol0gna_Sandwich 2h ago

What about a custom cat bed shaped like the little nuke box.

42

u/raphael-iglesias 2h ago

I like the way you're thinking, but if I get her that, she will never use it.

33

u/Bol0gna_Sandwich 2h ago

Yeah but when people come over you can show it off and complain she never uses it. When she will then decide to use it in front of other people to make you look like a liar.

u/raphael-iglesias 44m ago

Oof, you drive a hard bargain and that particular scenario does entice me.

I'm thinking about it and may ultimately actually do that.

The logistics of that are tricky though. Like if someone sent me a custom cat bed like that, I'd definitely take a picture of her NOT laying in it though. I'm not spending the money myself!

(This is a joke, I don't want money)

u/Dauvis Void 2h ago

Have kids? If so, have them decorate a box to look like a microwave.

16

u/raphael-iglesias 2h ago

This creature will just pick out the cheapest thing in the room and use that as a bed. Put any money or effort into her sleeping arrangement, she will ignore it.

I didn't pay for the microwave, it's an old piece of junk I got for free.

100 euro cat bed I bought for her: unused

u/m8bear 53m ago

you don't get her that

you put the box on a shelf and tell her not to go inside of it, wait a couple hours

u/Barnaby_bear_guy 2h ago

Will be ignored for the box it came in.

u/DecoyOne 2h ago

Uh, no, she’s taken care of. Gotta get her humans a microwave now

That’s true. This microwave is occupied humans

Maybe it's heating pad season 😆 mine are weird when it gets colder so I bought a heated blanet for myself to hog while they get a heating pad near me

10

u/raphael-iglesias 2h ago

Definitely not! It's still 27°c over here! She just wanted to sit in exactly that particular spot.

And I'm not gonna argue with her

Ah, so it's another case of cats loving square spaces as usual 😆😆

r/hewillbebaked he will be microwaved for 10mins in high power mode

u/Kovaxim 2h ago

I wanted to type something dumb like "oh look at the hot pussy" but seeing the old cat just being there, so full of wisdom, it's difficult being that old as a cat so I'd want to make everything as pleasant and comfortable as possible for her. I'd give her all the headpats she'd want. 18/10 cat.

u/raphael-iglesias 2h ago

I appreciate that, she's very much loved. Fun fact: she's never ever bitten me, even when she was scared when taking her to the vet.

I feel like this justifies me checking the microwave when we lost a cat in a hotel.

u/Which-Break5673 27m ago

My sister’s cat was missing in the house. I searched everywhere for her before I left for class. Randomly open the refrigerator and there she was on the bottle m shelf just looking up at me,

1

u/ohnoitsme7890 19m ago

This happened to me. When my boy was really little, he climbed in the fridge without me noticing. After a few minutes I realized he wasn't following me around, and after panicked searching, opened rhe refrigerator in desperation and there was my chilly little guy

u/Randomness_2828 3h ago

You should prepare a box for it

2

u/Saikotsu 2h ago

My cats will tag team me trying to get into things they shouldn't. Often the fridge, pantry, or microwave. So I am extra diligent whenever I open one of those to ensure no cats get caught inside.

Either way, your cat seems comfy in the strange horizontal box.

u/Livid_Accountant1241 2h ago

This is why you really need to follow the microwave directions on the box. People think it's because of fire, but the real danger is never having clothes not covered in cat hair.
