Cats Think That These Toy Beds for Kids From IKEA Are Meant Just for Them

Hey, that’s mine!

In case you didn’t know it, that’s exactly how a cat’s brain operates.

They do what they want and they take what they want.

The little beds from IKEA you’re about to see in these photos were originally meant for kids to place their dolls in, but these cats decided to swoop in and claim the territory as their own.

And we all know what happens when you try to argue or fight with a cat.

NOT A SMART MOVE!

So sit back and enjoy these pics of kitties who took over IKEA mini beds as their own personal sleeping quarters.

1. Get nice and cozy…

Because I’m not going anywhere!

2. Stole the bed and now getting some sun.

Do you have a problem with that?

3. This is the life.

I have to say I’m kind of jealous.

4. Can I help you with something?

This is my bed from now on.

5. Looks pretty comfy.

You need a got spot if you’re gonna sleep 23 hours a day.

6. All tuckered out.

And all tucked in!

7. It’s been a long day.

Now it’s time to retire to my throne.

8. Do not wake me up under any circumstances.

Do you understand me?

9. The queen in her rightful place.

I wouldn’t disturb her if I were you…just sayin’…

10. I need you to tuck me in.

And the answer better be YES.

11. Flip through these pics and SMILE.

Those are really cute.

Those pics are hilarious AND adorable.

Now we want to hear from the readers out there.

In the comments, please share some photos with us of your cat snoozing in places that they decided to claim as their own.

We can’t wait to see your pics!

Artist Creates IKEA Instructions on How to Make Horror and Sci-Fi Characters

As a big fan of all things horror and science fiction, I have to say that I LOVE these illustrations.

They come to us from an illustrator named Ed Harrington who lives in Virginia.

Among other artworks, Harrington draws characters from horror and sci-fi movies as though they were instructions from IKEA.

The end products are totally awesome and also pretty funny, if you ask me.

Let’s take a look at Harrington’s work…you might never look at Freddy Krueger the same way again…

1. Don’t move, dirtbag!

RoboCop for the win!

2. Avoid this Alien at all costs.

Or else you’ll regret it…

3. One, two, Freddy’s coming for you.

Three, four, better lock your door.

4. For all the Star Wars fanatics out there.

Will he ever escape from this?!?!

5. And then there’s this guy…

Build your own Darth Vader!

6. Beware of zombies!

Especially those from The Walking Dead!

7. I heard you’re looking for Candyman…

Definitely not someone you want to run into…

8. Creepy Carrie! Creepy Carrie!

One of the movies that ruined my childhood.

9. This also ruined my childhood!

Damien from The Omen.

10. Hannibal the Cannibal.

Hello, Clarice…

11. The creepy kid from Pet Sematary!

Also known as Gage. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll never look at a scalpel or an Achilles tendon the same way ever again…

12. Cool! He-Man rules!

Masters of the Universe!

Those are awesome!

And what an amazingly original idea, right?

What other characters would you like to see Ed Harrington illustrate in this fashion?

Tell us what you think in the comments!

A Huge Game of Hide-And-Seek at IKEA Got Stopped by the Police

This is a headline you don’t see every day, now is it? But it’s true – every word of it!

Police were recently called to an IKEA store in Glasgow, Scotland, after store employees became alarmed when customers began hiding in cupboards, refrigerators, and beds.

Kick off your three day weekend by upgrading your bedroom to your very own sleep sanctuary.BERGPALM King duvet cover set, $27.99/3pcs http://bit.ly/34bIZt1

Posted by IKEA on Friday, August 30, 2019

The culprit? A “Hide and Seek” Facebook event that over 2,000 people signed up for and another 10,000 folks were “interested in.” Damn you, social media!

The store’s management had heard about the planned event and were turning people away at the front door, but they couldn’t catch every mischievous person who wanted to get in on the action.

Not sure if you have seen the hide and seek thing going on in Ikea but, my friend just dropped me off at the airport to…

Five police officers were dispatched to the IKEA store to help staff put an end to the game. Rob Cooper, the manager of the Glasgow store, said:

“The safety of our customers and co-workers is always our highest priority. We were aware of an unofficial hide and seek Facebook event being organised to take place at our store and have been working with the local police for support. While we appreciate playing games in one of our stores may be appealing to some, we do not allow this kind of activity to take place to ensure we are offering a safe environment and relaxed shopping experience for our customers.”

Sounds like this game got squashed almost before it even started. Buzzkill!

There’s actually been a somewhat global trend of people wanting to play Hide and Seek at IKEA stores going all the way back to 2014. Games have taken place in Belgium, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands. One organizer for a game in Belgium said, “Sometimes it’s fun just to do some childish things. Ikea is like an extremely large living room. We played hide and seek the whole day. It was really exhausting but so much fun.”

IKEA, however, is not on board. The store issued a statement telling customers, “It’s hard to control. We need to make sure people are safe in our stores and that’s hard to do if we don’t even know where they are.”

Good point. Safety first, people…keep that in mind.

IKEA Told Kids to Bully a Plant for 30 Days. The Results Are Jaw-Dropping

In order to raise awareness about Anti-Bullying Day on May 4th, IKEA UAE conducted a truly unique experiment. They took two identical plants and placed them in a local school.

Both plants were cared for in the same way. They both had the same water, sunlight, and fertilizers. Their conditions were entirely the same except for one single notable exception – students were encouraged to pay regular compliments to one plant and to relentlessly bully the other.

After 30 days, the results were pretty clear. While the complimented plant thrived, the bullied plant showed significant signs of struggle with discolored, drooping leaves.

Ever wonder just how damaging bullying can be? What if you bullied a plant nonstop for a whole month?

Other than the type of words they were exposed to, the plants were treated exactly alike.

They both received equal amounts of water, sunlight, and fertilizers.

The final results are stunning.

It just goes to show how much power our words can have. I mean, if hurtful words can do this much damage to a plant, just imagine what they do to a person.

This IKEA Store Is Opening Its Doors to Give Stray Dogs a Warm Place to Sleep

As Old Man Winter tightens his icy grip around the world, one IKEA store in Italy has decided to go above and beyond in considering the plight of our furry friends during this time.

The store, located in Catania, Italy, has been letting stray dogs relax and sleep in the warm comfort of the store, giving them a crucial chance to survive winter by avoiding frigid overnight temperatures.

An IKEA customer who happened upon a group of dogs snoozing near a living room display said, “My reaction was pure amazement. It’s not a common thing.”

The dogs are also fed at the store, and some have even been adopted by IKEA customers who just couldn’t resist those adorable puppy dog eyes.

Another customer said, “I felt a feeling of deep tenderness and great happiness in seeing dogs crouched in the exhibition space at the entrance of the IKEA. If all the stores that had the space would make a place of refuge for strays, I would be really happy.”

Here’s a couple more photos because you know you need this.

Does that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, or what?
