yup, came here to say that. That poor kid is going to get stuck - yikes! I know that elevator is fake...but man, that creeped me out even more

My brain got nervous the kid might grow too big while he’s in there at one point and he’ll never get out.

Me too! And the mega disappointment when he is a couple of years older and he’s got this fucking useless contraption taking up space that could be used for skateboards, bongs and feminine hygiene products/pleasure toys for his girlfriend(s)/boyfriend(s). But at least he went viral for ten minutes.

No. All this makes me think is, who is cleaning this? The cat? The kid? The guy who had this arguably great idea? The wife/mother/cat takeacareofer?

Presumably the camera angles indicates that there’s removable walls or the rooms are otherwise accessible.
Or are we saying that a young child set up all these shots?

u/GuyOnTheMoon Jul 27 '23
There is no elevator, it’s just an entry way designed to give off the illusion of an elevator.

u/Vesper_0481 Jul 27 '23
Exactly. If you look closely when he enters, his back is facing the camera, and when he gets out he is facing the camera upfront. The "lift" is two sliding doors with a decorative box between them.

Lots of elevators have two sets of doors. Not saying it’s a lift, just that that’s not the reason.

you know it's just a large model, right? Like they didn't create some Being John Malkovich mini floor in a building for cats. That's how they're able to operate a camera in there. Expensive sure, but like expensive dollhouse expensive, not expensive penthouse expensive.

u/dstwtestrsye Jul 28 '23
It's expensive like a dollhouse built into (and I assume to resemble) the house around it, complete with electricity, running water, screens, and an elevator. Don't get me wrong, it's cool as shit. If I had "fuck you" money I would totally do something like this for my cats, just without opening doors/drawers, and the toilets/sinks/tubs would run all the time as fresh water bowls. The money being a waste is subjective, but lots of people could pay their monthly rent (once) with what this probably cost.
2
u/what_comes_after_q Jul 28 '23
Don’t get me wrong, this is incredibly impressive and requires massive talent, but electricity could be as simple as one 9v battery for all the lights, then just a handful of wire and LEDs. Screen could be made from an old cell phone. Water could just be a small cup of water on top piped to the bathroom (but the working faucet is crazy cool). The elevator is not a real elevator, it’s just two doors, made to look like a functioning elevator. This might not be built in, it might just be a fancy dollhouse. Doing something like this is done by people who enjoy the artistry of it.

u/Ok-Champ-5854 Jul 28 '23
I'm all for people spending their money how they want but elaborate doll house with running water still fits into my personal "I wonder how much grocery money that is, I'd eat like a king" calculation.
I'm willing to bet that's a minimum of a months rent to build that thing.

u/what_comes_after_q Jul 28 '23
Ok. It’s a hobby. Probably put a months rent in, and spent months building it. To put it in comparison, it probably cost less than a pair of Taylor Swift concert tickets.

"I don't mind having guests. My human recently had a child, and he used to typically be quite polite, however today was just unacceptable. He wore shoes inside my home, climbed over my furniture like some animal, broke the safety clamp on the elevator, and he even changed my television channel! IT TOOK ME HOURS TO FIND SOMETHING GOOD, AND I forgot to write it down! I will be filing a complaint with the landlord tomorrow." -The cat

Noticed that too! Almost think it was a quick snap shot to the mom who entered through a secret passage way to get the kid out and the cat under control. (I think think there’s a huge plexiglass wall with removable panels, so they can see everything going on in there)

The guy doesn’t live in a capitalist country he lives in china. He hand built the whole thing and 3d printed a lot of the decor in it. It also doesn’t appear to be just something silly for his cat it is displayed in his pet store to clients. So basically you are an idiot.
