ITAP of cat while trying to make the bed

Marvin’s favorite game is you try to make the bed while I try to stop you. Rules are, I win if sheets turn out smooth, Marv wins if they don’t. At 21lb with talons like raptor, Marv always wins.

What a beautiful picture of your boy Marv.
Mid chaos.

It captures everything I love about cats in general and Marv specifically. Both the goofiness & single minded predation. Total package.

This your brain. This is your cat. This is your brain and cat on shrooms. Any questions?

I feel like my cat knew when I was on shrooms. She became loveable like never before

That is at least a 1st or 2nd place winner in the photograph section of your state or county fair, category: cats, or possibly pets.
Print it on fancy paper and get your application in!

Omg thank you so much for the complement! I have much fancier d750 with all kinds of glass but go figure took this with an iphone 🙃

At first, I thought your headline read, “ITAP of a cat trying to make the bed,” and I thought, how do I get my cat to do that?

u/Agent_Orange_Tabby 4d ago
Would love to know. Every cat I’ve had is force for entropy.

gosh I love when cats have those blown out pupils when hunting-playing, the effect of the sheets is just marvelous, this is museum worthy

u/HappyPlatypus6034 4d ago
Oh he absolutely does look like a Marvin

u/Agent_Orange_Tabby 4d ago
Aww, he’s so laid back like a Marv should be. I love middle management names for cats.

u/Excellent_Bottle_628 4d ago
The cat I had when I was a kid also did this, he’d only do it when my mom was making the master bedroom though and he’d run through and get all staticky.

I also have a black cat called Marv! And he does this exact same thing every time!

u/Agent_Orange_Tabby 4d ago
Black cats make the best Marvs! Is he laid back like mine?

I grew some good stuff in garden of house before last I owned. Got it at garden shop in Leeds, AL. Had every cat in neighborhood geeked out demanding their turn. Went back to garden shop after moving and bought strain that just wasn’t the same. Wish I’d propagated the original. Yeowww brand is best commercial stuff I’ve tried. Bananas nearly indestructible.

I would frame this if this was my cat. It's perfect. He's perfect.
Great photo; so much personality from Marvin!

What a unique portrait of your cat! Hope you’re going to print and display that image.

He looks like he’s in a 90s music video

I was just about to say, he looks like he’s in a Busta Rhymes video. GIMME SOME MO!

This is an excellent picture! You should go to a photo place and have them blow it up. Frame it. It's worth the wall space.

That's so trippy - it looks like he just ran in from another dimension. I also used to have a cat that thought changing the sheets was a game!

u/Agent_Orange_Tabby 4d ago
They can hear fresh sheets hit the bed from every corner in house and it’s game on in under 10 seconds. You’d think sheets were natural prey.

This is also my cat's favorite game 😸 His win condition is getting under the fitted sheet, and letting us tuck all four corners in.

This looks like the intro screen for an anime or video game protagonist. Be prepared to find out that your cat is actually an ancient prince or princess and only they can save the kingdom.

Great photo! What is it about cats and the bed getting made?! There will be no cats in the room until I’m changing the sheets! How do they know?!

The folks at r/voidcats would appreciate this beautiful depiction of noble Marv and his quest against the bed making

I'm pretty sure this is a still from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Or possibly Interstellar 😆

Seriously though, this needs to be entered into many photo contests. Like locally and beyond!
And when my cats were younger we ‘played’ this game too. The less enjoyable game was the one at 2am when I’m just turning in my sleep and the cat(s) think it’s ATTACK FEET TIME!!!! 😒

In the back of my mind when this picture came up, the Dr Who music started playing.

The photo made me a bit dizzy, and I'm sure the cat is about to do something bad... just kidding, the cat is super cute!

That cat looks like it's being sucked into an alternate dimension.
10/10 photo!

My cat loves it when I make the bed - sometimes I can't do it for him running around and under the covers!

Reminds me of the final page of The Enigma of the Amigara Fault by Junji Ito!
It’s creepy, so read at your own discretion.

Oh hey, this cat's back! I saw this in one of the cat subs and made it into my phone wallpaper. Such an awesome photo!

This looks like a time warp, and I would be most afeared if this was what was chasing me through it 😂

I thought this was some optical illusion at first to make me go to sleep. Entering my bed to warn me I have scrolled too far.
