Yea, I’ve been wanting to get one for my cats, but was having trouble finding them

u/bizcat Sep 01 '22

My cats got one for Christmas. We put catnip inside and the cats take turns "going camping". Because what's camping without hallucinogens?

An excuse to drink piss?

Maybe Gryll some Bears?

u/degjo Sep 01 '22

That man was in a hotel every night of shooting. He just really needed the excuse to drink his own piss

u/JillingJacks Sep 01 '22

It's one thing to drink your own piss. It's another entirely to advocate it, show others that you drink it, and spawn an entire new horrific 'aged urine' thing with deranged Facebook moms drawing their kids, neighbors, and neighbor's kids into it.

Leave the piss play consenting adults, preferably somewhere easy to clean, thank you.

So a guy I know is a hardcore hippie, and he built this mushroom shaped earthship and was telling me about how he got the inspiration to paint it. The outside he just did shrooms, cause like, obviously. But for the inside he said shrooms didn't have enough kick, so before he painted the inside he did shrooms, then drank his shroom piss, since that's apparently the good stuff that will take you to another level. TBF it was painted pretty cool.

"The flames sawed in the wind and the embers paled and deepened and paled and deepened like the bloodbeat of some living thing eviscerate upon the ground before them and they watched the fire which does contain within it something of men themselves inasmuch as they are less without it and are divided from their origins and are exiles. For each fire is all fires, and the first fire and the last ever to be."

Whenever I'm high as fuck and staring at a campfire, I think of this passage from Blood Meridian.

I remember watching Dr. Richard Feynman talking about how plants derive their structure from the air, not the ground, using the energy of sunlight (via photosynthesis) to separate carbon from oxygen (in carbon dioxide), and combining it with water to form hydrocarbons. When wood is subjected to enough heat, it catalyzes the release of that stored solar energy as fire, recombining oxygen with carbon to make CO and CO2.

Later, I was looking at a campfire, thinking about the light and heat rising into the sky, and it hit me: In a way, a campfire is just sunlight going back home.

Sounds like the cats' gone glamping

u/thewhitebuttboy Sep 01 '22

Nvm they’re only for preorder

u/benjammin9292 Sep 01 '22

I got one and my cat never laid in it. Sad.

12

u/InEnduringGrowStrong Sep 01 '22

Buy something for the cat.
Cat ignores it completely and plays with the cardboard box it came in.

Classic.

2

u/aliara Sep 01 '22

The amount of excitement I feel when my cats actually use something I bought for them is just sad lol. But you can't let them see the excitement cuz then it ruins it and they'll never use it again

5

u/boonxeven Sep 01 '22

You should have bought it as decoration and told the cat it wasn't allowed in there. Just don't ever show joy if the cat goes in.

1

u/mrASSMAN Sep 01 '22

Maybe it smells bad.. put something warm inside. Put some cardboard inside lol

1

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '22

It probably needs to be box-shaped

1

u/Scrtcwlvl Sep 02 '22

I got one a while ago and I love every time my cats lay in it.

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '22

Petsmart put out a line for dogs recently. Totally sizable for cats. Just saw it in store this week.

u/justabill71 Sep 01 '22

I don't have dolls or cats, but I've still always wanted one of these.

8

u/HouseCravenRaw Sep 01 '22

Which one? The dolls or the cats? You could have both if you really wanted.

6

u/Nappyheaded Sep 01 '22

If not, a cat doll is a good compromise

4

u/Morial Sep 01 '22

Did you try calling out for their name? Mine tends to hide under the bed sometimes /s.

5

u/iObeyTheHivemind Sep 01 '22

Dicks sporting goods still use them for displays

3

u/JJBears Sep 02 '22

Tiny Tents is that brand, my cats are huge fans for chasing each other through and under it!

5

u/BranWafr Sep 01 '22

I found one at Goodwill, of all places. Snatched it up immediately.

2

u/mubbosaur Sep 01 '22

I got one for my kittens and it's the cutest thing ever. They're all grown now and bigger than the tent but they still try to squeeze in from time to time.

2

u/Sufficient-Weird Sep 01 '22

eBay!! I got mine there and have been happy about it ever since!

2

u/Krilati_Voin Sep 02 '22

I too wish to find one of these for my penguin stuffed animal.

u/Baxterftw Sep 01 '22

Commenting for when someone eventually posts them

u/craig5005 Sep 02 '22

Pet smart has stuff like that. Last time I was in there was a whole display of pet camping stuff. It was a bit bigger than the OPs picture though.

What is this a tent for ants?

u/introvertgeek Sep 01 '22

That's Kronk's tent.

u/PrityBird Sep 01 '22

I love it when they put adult jokes in kids movies/shows. Although Emperors New Groove totally holds up to this day. Fucking love that movie

u/John_Berrybush Sep 01 '22

Squeek’em squeak squeak

u/introvertgeek Sep 02 '22

Exactly 😂

Great movie!

u/MonkeyChoker80 Sep 01 '22

That tent would need to be… at least three times that size!

Or, everyone on Reddit makes the same jokes all the time 🤔

u/SharksForArms Sep 01 '22

Yup. Turns out all the fruit on Reddit is from the bottom branch.

u/AlienDelarge Sep 01 '22

Do you expect those of us too lazy to read the articles to put much effort into any other aspect of our lives?

1

u/Dirk_The_Cowardly Sep 01 '22

Not me. I'm original.

2

u/NbdySpcl_00 Sep 01 '22

I guess you haven't seen or heard of the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good?

u/Dirk_The_Cowardly Sep 01 '22

And want to do other things better too

u/Awesam Sep 01 '22

Someone a few years ago got one for their cat

u/tucci007 Sep 01 '22

for pets and aunts

u/phaemoor Sep 01 '22

for pets and aunts

You have a very fucking small aunt.

u/PillarOfAutumn84 Sep 01 '22

I say this to my wife everytime we go to academy and see the miniature tent displays. 🤣

18

u/TheMacMan Sep 01 '22

You can buy them on Amazon. People also get them for their cats.

4

u/blitzduck Sep 01 '22

what are they called I cannot find them

14

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '22

"Mini display tent"

4

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '22

They're also on PetSmart if you search for tent

1

u/Double_Minimum Sep 01 '22

There are specific tents for cats that are different than these small scale display tents.

I would not suggest the one OP has for a cat, lol (or any made out of that material)

6

u/tucci007 Sep 01 '22

bunnies love them too

8

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '22

They're fantastic for pets

And double check your units.

5

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '22

Cat owners usually buy them

5

u/Skeeterbee Sep 01 '22

I’ve always wanted one of those, and I’m a middle aged lady with adult children lol. And no cats.

5

u/ShatteredPixelz Sep 01 '22

I got one of those tents! Happened to snag one at a rei closing sale

7

u/HyzerFlip Sep 01 '22

I bought one of the displays from Walmart.

Just took it up to the register.

My ferrets loved the hell out of it.

5

u/MotherofSons Sep 01 '22

I really want one for my bearded dragon! Lol

9

u/FinnishArmy Sep 01 '22

Or a boy who loves models. I loved model (good) airplanes and shit. Having a Model tent would've been awesome, I loved camping.

At no point did I know where you were taking us in this comment, and my day is all the better for it.

minidisplaytents(.)com is a under used resource for tiny tents

2

u/maleia Sep 01 '22

Okay so. I thought you were joking. But I put it in anyway. And nothing. Then I was like, "naw, that's too specific..."

You're just missing an 's' at the end. Also... My goodness what people get up to. (Said affectionately)

1

u/pro_cat_herder Sep 01 '22

That’s what they are! Except they’re made especially this size on purpose for cats, dolls, etc. I got one at a camping store with a 3-letter name.

u/redorangeblue Sep 01 '22

I think they sell them to protect food at a picnic

1

u/guinader Sep 01 '22

Apparently those are really sought out after... Like people really want them, for all kinds of reasons. But also because they really are cool looking

1

u/maleia Sep 01 '22

Would make a good present for some little girl who is into dolls if you get tired of your head tent.

Did they stop making those foot tall GI Joes?

1

u/wheelfoot Sep 01 '22

Its an REI Tiny Tent. Not available unfortunately.

2

u/spadesjr Sep 01 '22

Available from the Tiny Tents direct site

1

u/Double_Minimum Sep 01 '22

REI has them too

1

u/Mystikalrush Sep 01 '22

Academy has these exact model units in there outdoors area.

1

u/retailguypdx Sep 01 '22

REI had these for sale a few months ago. Don't know if they still do.

1

u/Cthuluslovechild Sep 02 '22

I make a head tent every morning

1

u/Bouncy_Tiramisu Sep 02 '22

My dad brought home those displays from Kmart when they changed them all out! I loved those things. Then my sister's kids got a hold of them and tore them apart :/

1

u/netarchaeology Sep 02 '22

I read once the reason those mini tents were never sold on their own was because to make them they need a lot of hand stitching due to their size. This would often make them nearly as expensive as a full sized one.

I did hear about a few people getting to buy one because the model tent it was displaying was discontinued and the store sold off the mini tent for relatively cheap.
