People Share Absurd Pieces of Clothing and Their Outrageous Price Tags

When I want to buy an unusual new product, I remind myself that without risk there’s no reward.

Sometimes it works, and the unusual new product is a massive success!

Other times it’s a huge disappointment, and I kick myself for days.

The point is, we all make weird choices sometimes. And the luxury goods industry exists to feed those retail therapy choices.

When a woman went viral recently for posting her ridiculous discovery from Nordstrom, the post took off, with others joining in to share the weirdest and most expensive items they’ve seen for sale as well.

She wrote:

The $895 price tag may sound like a lot, but at least you won’t have any money left that you need to carry around, since, as one keen-eyed user pointed out the fine print:

This bedazzled objet d’art doesn’t actually carry anything, except for a conversation.

It sounds like something David Rose would say.

In addition to outrageously expensive and useless “purses”, there were a number of examples of horrifying (and useless?) clothing trends in the thread.

User @chelbee611 shared these bizarre underwear-exposing trousers.

Good thing they have free returns.

And who can forget this aptly described travesty, which I guess you could wear with those pants.

If you’re really looking to be classy, there’s this dress, which I would describe as “tarp & bungee chic” – perfect for any occasion.

And to really kick it up a notch, pair that dress with these matching gloves.
(They match the bungee cords.)

If the tarp dress isn’t to your liking, because, idk, you’re worried about rain on your back? Never fear, there’s always this shower curtain dress option shared by Ellen Grace.

Perfect for a rainy day or a chili dog eating contest.

And if you’re worried about getting cold (maybe in that backless dress) user @TSatch17 has you covered with this… sleeping bag wrap?

Another user, @jamiesanpedroo, who really got into the exercise, found these wacky toe-sock-boot-gizmos, and I don’t even know what to do with them.

Is Nordstrom okay?

Not to single out high end retailers, @my_tv_life pointed to her favorite source for the ridiculous, Etsy, and these fabulous handmade pants.

Mars OBSESSED responded to the original post with a joke, but these glasses (?!) are blowing my mind.

Several users shared the same $1300 hat, which I personally thought looked like an attempt to imitate an orca.

And don’t forget about the bling. There was the bike lock necklace that costs more than any actual bike lock.

Just in case, you know, you’re worried someone’s going to steal your head.

Honestly, these all make me feel better about the electric toothbrush I bought last week.

What about you? What’s the most absurd item to come into your social media ads?

Scientists Make Mistakes…and Sometimes They Create New Fish

Science is a process. It follows a method, but it’s all about learning.

And sometimes the best learning comes from mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, right?

Well last year, scientists at a lab in Hungary had a real OOPS moment.

But after the OOPS comes the learning.

Their hearts were in the right place. At the Research Institute for Fisheries and Aquaculture, they just wanted to try to preserve critically endangered species.

Their focus was the Russian sturgeon, also known as the diamond sturgeon.

Image credit: GlobalP via iStock

As Popular Mechanics explains:

The research team tried to breed more Russian sturgeons via gynogenesis, a type of asexual reproduction in which sperm is necessary but leaves no traces of its DNA behind.

As a result, the offspring ends up with 100 percent maternal DNA (and none from the paternal contributor.)

Easy-peasy, right?

The plan was to use sperm from another endangered species, the American paddlefish.

Image credit: tunart via iStock

What came next was completely unexpected.

Instead of merely fertilizing the eggs and then disappearing into the ether, the sperm actually fused with the eggs, creating a hybrid fish, affectionately known as a “sturddlefish.”

SCIENCE, am I right?

This new, uninentional hybrid species had some interesting differences.

Again, Popular Mechanics explains:

Some are close to an even 50/50 genetic split between their two parents, but others appear more sturgeon-like while others have stronger paddlefish traits.

The differences include things like what the fish like to eat.

Sturgeons are carnivores. They feast on smaller sea creatures like mollusks and crustaceans.

Paddlefish, however, prefer plankton, which are not exactly vegetables, but are microscopic organisms quite different from the usual sturgeon diet.

Not all of the hatched hybrids survived, but of those that did, some preferred a sturgeon diet and others preferred the plankton.

According to The New York Times about 100 of this new species survived.

And while the accident has proven an interesting one, the team has no intention of creating any more hybrids.

Sorry little sturddlefish.

What do you think about this wild story? Are you here for creating weird new animal hybrids? Tell us your thoughts in the comments.

There Are More Than 600 Fly-In Neighborhoods in the U.S. Where You Can Park Your Plane in Your Own Driveway

A few years ago, I decided to treat my dad to an item on his bucket list.

He had always wanted to fly in a hot air balloon, but since my mom wasn’t interested in joining him, he didn’t expect it to happen.

Well, although I don’t much care for heights (or flying), I decided that I couldn’t let my dad miss out on such an adventure, so for his birthday I arranged a hot air balloon ride.

We went out to a rural part of the state where our balloon pilot lived and launched his balloons from his own front yard.

Even more amazing than that, there was a big grassy runway down the middle of his neighborhood, where all the families in the neighborhood could take off in their private planes!

I had never heard of such a thing, but apparently residential airparks, or fly-in communities, are actually more common than I would have ever imagined.

In fact, late last year, TikTok mom Sara Cormier, under the handle @TheSoulFamily posted a video about one such community near Cameron Park Airport in California, and it kind of blew the Internet’s mind.

Image credit: @TheSoulFamily via Bored Panda

According to Bored Panda, these residential airparks sprouted up after WWII because so many veterans had been trained as pilots during the war.

Flying enthusiasts flock to these communities, and because it’s super convenient, they don’t even have to store their planes at the airport–they actually have hangars right in their homes alongside car garages.

In her video, Sara shows how the streets of these neighborhoods are built wide enough so that the planes can actually just taxi right to the airport for take-off.

“Every road is ginormous. It’s almost as if you have no idea where you should even be driving.”

They’re so wide, in fact, that not only can a plane with a substantial wingspan drive down them, but there is room for cars to share the roads too.

Image credit: @TheSoulFamily via Bored Panda

Bored Panda further explains that there are over 600 such neighborhoods in the United States, and in neighborhoods like these:

The street signs and mailboxes are lower than normal so that the planes won’t knock them down with their wings, and the streets have names related to aviation, like Boeing Road.

I’m kind of obsessed with this now.

In her first video, which has been viewed almost 5 million times, Sara wasn’t lucky enough to catch a plane out on the road that day.

@thesoulfamily

Have you seen a neighborhood like this? #aviation #airplane #airport #takeoff #hanger

♬ Steven Universe – L.Dre

But after one commenter asked her to try and get one on video, she was more than happy to oblige.

Check it out!

@thesoulfamily

Reply to @kinmut here you go!

♬ Oblivion – Grimes

In addition to these plane videos, Sara also posts a lot of other wholesome content, like her sons giving food reviews and her own personal advice to parents hoping to adopt.

One of her boys wears a NASA hoodie pretty frequently, so I think maybe the aviation bug is contagious.

What do you think of these airport neighborhoods? Does it kind of make you want to move out to the country and learn to fly? Tell us in the comments!

A Genetically Rare Chimera Kitten Was Rescued in Tennessee

I had a cat who seemed like he had two different personalities when I was growing up.

Sometimes he was sweet and cuddly, and other times he had the devil in him.

But last March a kitten was found in Nashville, Tennessee that really was essentially two different cats fused into one.

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by @kittenitwithkiki

Her name is Apricot, and though she hasn’t had a DNA test to prove it, her rescuers believe her to be what’s called a “chimera.”

Although “chimera” sounds more like a mythological monster than a sweet, cuddly, kitten, according to My Modern Met, Apricot is half tortoiseshell and half ginger tabby, while her brother is just an ordinary tortoiseshell.

She looks like two cats merged into one, and in fact, that’s exactly what she is. Apricot is a rare chimera cat, which means she was born with two sets of DNA. She’s the result of two embryos fusing together inside her mother’s womb. In other words, Apricot is technically two fraternal twins combined into one individual cat.

How amazing is that?

A post shared by @kittenitwithkiki

Apricot was rescued along with her brother, Pretzel, from inside the wall of a newly constructed home.

When the mama cat didn’t return for them, the family contacted the Nashville Cat Rescue, who quickly placed them with Kiki, a cat foster mom who also happened to have two nursing females perfect for Apricot and Pretzel.

A post shared by @kittenitwithkiki

Kiki fosters lots of cats, but she had never seen one quite like Apricot.

Even so, the kittens were made to feel right at home.

A post shared by @kittenitwithkiki


The goal of Kiki and her partners at Nashville Cat Rescue is to stop the cycle of feral cats having litter after litter that need more and more homes to take care of them.

She cares for the cats (and some dogs, too!) until homes can be found, ensuring that the adult cats are spayed before they leave foster care.

A post shared by @kittenitwithkiki


The end goal for Kiki is to find good homes to adopt the kitties, and that’s exactly what she did for Apricot and Pretzel.

They stayed with Kiki and their furry foster family for a little over two months before being adopted out to their forever home at the end of May.

And if you’re heart broken that you didn’t get to be the one to adopt them–you can still buy a mug of the unique kitty, with proceeds going to support the continued care of all her feline friends.

These Wedding Rules Went Viral on TikTok and There’s a Lot of Bride-(and Groom)-zilla Energy

I’ll never forget some advice that a family friend gave on a wedding day.

I say “a” wedding day, because we attended so many together that I can’t remember if it was first said on MY wedding day, or a friend’s, but he said, “No matter what happens, at the end of the day you’ll be married, and that’s the whole point.”

It’s so true, and yet something that is easily lost in all the excitement and stress of wedding prep, and I have repeated it to friends myself.

Those words may stop a panic attack on the day, but they won’t necessarily stop most people from over-planning their perfect day, as evidenced by the recent TikTok trend #weddingrules where brides and grooms to be offered their list of rules, both silly and serious, for their special day.

This self-proclaimed Bridezilla offered a pretty standard list of rules that emerged as themes throughout the other videos.

@xoxoarshi

yes I’m gonna be a bridezilla and no i don’t care because my wedding my way. #weddingrules #fyp #foryou

♬ Elevator Music – Bohoman

I didn’t know “Don’t wear white” needed to be said outside of Schitt’s Creek, but enough people listed it that apparently it does.

Even this girl who actually DID want kids at her wedding felt the need to say “no white.”

@_roseygirl

#greenscreen my wedding rules pt.1 #weddingrules #fyp

♬ original sound – Rose

And the “no kids” policy seems like the number one most divisive rule of wedding planning.

Personally, I can see it both ways, and I just think people shouldn’t be offended by the couple’s wishes.

It definitely wasn’t an across the board thing. Some people really do want kids at their wedding, especially if it’s kids that they know.

@yomrants

tell me your wedding rules ??#greenscreen #weddingrules #wedding #yomrants

♬ original sound – Myah Elliott

But “no random plus ones” definitely emerged as a theme.

In addition to the standard set of rules, there are other no-brainers like turn off your cell phone and don’t show up late.

@that_emo_kid_izzy

This is list 1/2 so tell me if you want see the rest #greenscreen #gaywedidng #weddingrules #myweddingmyrules #gay #girlinred #bi #trans

♬ My wedding my rules pt 1 – Izzy

And a lot of people also stressed that in addition to not wearing white OR the bridal colors, you weren’t allowed to wear jeans.

If I recall, I may have actually explicitly told my uncle he WAS allowed to wear jeans, although it was 105 degrees the day I got married, so I’m a little surprised no one showed up in shorts.

@dalecsander

Also be nice to the caterers #fyp #dalecsander #weddingrules

♬ original sound – DAleCsander

A distaste for the weird garter toss tradition was also pretty common, and individuals planned to avoid it for a variety of reasons.

Another theme that emerged was that people didn’t want long speeches and they especially didn’t want surprise announcements like other peoples’ engagements or pregnancies.

Again that just seems like common courtesy to me, but I guess sometimes it needs to be spelled out.

Unlike most people, this person doesn’t even want a bridal party.
(And she’s dead serious on the “no announcements” rule.)

@missyeah

I woke up and chose unhappy family #weddingrules #weddingplanning #newlyengaged

♬ SugarCrash! – ElyOtto

Some people had very specific criteria, like this girl, who wants a flower wall for pictures (very cool idea), a sick Air B and B in the mountains (nice), and guests’ attire to follow a color scheme (maybe too far).

@mirandandersonphoto

I still have so many more so like for pt 2 #weddingtiktok #weddingrules #weddingideasforyou #vancouver #fyp

♬ original sound – Vancouver Photographer Miranda

Others responded to the viral hashtag, which has had over 61 million views, with silliness, like this guy who wants a One Direction themed wedding.

@williamsheats

Y’all are all invited btw #weddingrules #foryou #onedirection #louistomlinson

♬ original sound – williamsheats

This one is pretty ridiculous, but I like where she’s going with her first rule.

@reneecarrot

#greenscreen #weddingrules #fyp #foryou #OverShareInYourUnderwear

♬ Drive Forever – Remix – Sergio Valentino

And this girl doesn’t want to get married, she wants to get married in a Schitt’s Creek episode complete with Dan Levy.

@victoriagarrick4

*not me not even being engaged* #weddingrules #weddingruleschallenge

♬ original sound – Victoria Garrick

All in all, I’m mostly just glad TikTok wasn’t around when I got married.

Personally, unlike some users, I think wedding is for your family, not for you, and personally, I think everyone would be a lot happier if they just eloped.

What about you? What’s on your ideal wedding ‘must’ list? Tell us in the comments.

These Cringeworthy Sign Fails Have Us Feeling Very Human

When you run a business, it’s all about building the brand the best way you can. And one of the best ways to do that is through your logo and your signage.

There’s nothing worse than when something goes wrong–it seems like it could cost you a lot of money to do over. Some businesses choose to live with it rather than paying to have it redone.

And who can blame them. When you mess up your only job, how do we know you’ll get it right the second time?

Here are 14 classic examples of cringe-worthy sign fails from the subreddit r/NotMyJob.

1. Welcome to the Upside-Down

It’s fine as long as they can read it, right?

Signs up, Boss! from NotMyJob

2. Still needs Spanish

But at least they know their weaknesses, I guess.

Grocery aisle sign reads 'fruit snacks' and then underneath 'need Spanish'.

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

3. Which came first?

Either way, the signs might be the easiest part to fix.

I did my job boss from NotMyJob

4. Levitate here to see how you measure up

No cheating now.

Giraffe holding a ruler to measure kids was installed on the wrong wall at the mall, so the ruler is on the wrong side of a barrier, where there is a drop to the floor below.

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

5. Nothing to see here. Just a paint store.

You might have to read it again.

Paint store sign uses a paint roller in place of the P and from a distance it looks like an inappropriate word instead of paint.

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

6. Watermelons for everyone

This one is maybe not the sign’s fault.

Stocked the watermelon bin, boss from NotMyJob

7. 20 years experience

Will accept years worked in childhood and earlier.

Sign: Cashier wanted. Must be 18-years-old with 20 years experience.

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

8. Here we go again

They did their best.

Put up the prices boss from NotMyJob

9. When you can’t tell your Rock from a Vin on the ground

Bald action stars everywhere are taking offense.

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

10. Nothing is impossible

Even reading white paint on a white background.
Try harder.

Sign is meant to say 'Nothing is impossible' but the 'im' is written in white on a white background, so it appears to say 'Nothing is possible.'

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

11. Sneaking in is welcome!

Honestly, maybe it’s a hidden message to scrappy local teens in need of wholesome mischief.

My local drive in last night from NotMyJob

12. Upside-down again

These things really need to come with ‘this way up’ markers.

Another upside down sign.

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

13. Sometimes they have instructions

But you still have to read them.

Its probably not a big deal anyways dude from NotMyJob

14. And make sure they’re facing the right way round

Quick tip: road signs should face the road.

Re-installed the speed limit sign facing our backyard, instead of the highway. from NotMyJob

These mistakes are absolutely cringe-worthy, but what can you do?

We’re all just doing our best, even when the best we have to offer isn’t the best we’re capable of.

Have you seen any great sign mishaps?

People Discuss the Most Ridiculous Luxury Items They’ve Ever Seen

The luxury goods market is definitely interesting.

I mean, I’m as guilty as the next person of spending my hard-earned money on ridiculous things.

But there are definitely some items for sale that make you go “what?”

Last month, mother and hockey fan Lexi Brown, PhD, went viral for her Tweet about random and ridiculous luxury items, spawning a thread of similarly themed responses.

Lexi found a… well, they call it a “bag” (but it doesn’t actually hold anything) shaped like a diamond-encrusted folding chair, and the reviews were hilarious.

Users were similarly dumbfounded by the weird little purse:

Lexi’s post went viral, and soon her followers were chiming in with ridiculous finds of their own.

User Raahina Somani shared a similarly bizarre purse that I’m still trying to wrap my head around, but check out that price tag!

But it gets better. Zaza Chilvers found a Louis Vuitton bag and I honestly LOVE it, but it costs more than my car.

And for people who really love their veggies, there’s this hideous broccoli bag.

But I think I’ll take the broccoli purse over the shrimp cocktail one.

Danielle P. chimed in with another absurd bag she found at a different online shop:

Moving on from bags, there was the $280 (each) hair-roller for wealthy grandmas the world over.

And Greg never does explain why he owns this, but it comes with its own little pocket.

And then @Kristin_wrote was perplexed by this unusually shaped ping-pong table, but I guess it would add another level of complexity to the game.

Getting into the spirit of mocking Nordstrom, one user shared diamond-lined ski goggles.

Several users found something to balk at from Tiffany, where nothing comes with a small price tag.

And don’t forget the lovely but possibly useless sterling silver greenhouse.

One that really set the bar was shared by @thaisaustin.

Who, in their hour of grief, wants to commemorate their lost love with a 3D version of their head for the mantle?

No price tag here, but I’m guessing these don’t come cheap.

The winner of Twitter that day, though, was definitely @MsModernity who added Bernie Sanders to the OP.

I’ve seen all I need to see.

I honestly can’t even with most of these. What’s the most ridiculous (and ridiculously expensive) thing you have ever seen? Tell us in the comments.

Embarrassing Typos That Should Have Been Avoided

Part of being human is making mistakes.

As a writer, I have definitely made my fair share of embarrassing typos. I remember one particular social media post where my mistake made it hilarious, but it was also devastatingly inappropriate and embarrassing, and I had to delete it as soon as my sister pointed it out. It pays to have a copy editor in the family. Some professionals across a variety of industries are not so lucky.

Here are 12 embarrassing examples from the subreddit r/NotMyJob where people either needed a quality assurance reviewer or simply didn’t care enough to double check their work.

1. Thank you for your attention

Maybe if they had spelled it correctly, the package would have been handled with actual care.

Damaged package reads: Handle with care. Fragile. Tahank you.

2. World War Eleven

Is it a typo, or is it from an alternate dimension?

In memory of World War 11, 1939-1945

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

3. Bestsellers for bookies

If anyone is going to catch it and call you out, it’s a keen-eyed reader.

Betseller category in the bookstore

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

4. Dollar Tree

To be fair, when you’re working up close, it’s hard to see the forest for the E’s.

Okay Boss, I Put up the sign from NotMyJob

5. Five hearts are better than four

That’s actually my lucky card.

4 of diamonds, 4 of spades, 4of hearts (has 5 hearts), 4 of clubs

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

6. Not just the land down under

Is this a joke about how everything is backwards there because they’re upside down?

Map labels Australia as Austarlia

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

7. Someone forgot to replace their placeholder text

(Like I almost did on # 6.)

Have fun finding the error from NotMyJob

8. Up or Down?

It’s actually a new motion that tips you forward so you fall on your knees and bow down. Bown.

Chair lever with instructions for lock, free, up or bown.

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

9. When Mork from Ork gets involved

I mostly want to know where they lost the E.
And were these discounted? Will they actually detect smoke? Or only smork?

Smoke alarm labled 'Smork alam'

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

10. Typos happen when you don’t wear you glasses

Get it? Because they were looking at the front of the glasses?
(I’ll see myself out.)

Ad for glasses shows a view of the 'fornt' and the back.

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

11. Open 7 Days a Week

People always forget about that midweek Trewsday that most of us sleep through.

Hmm from NotMyJob

12. Braille for the sighted

When it comes to accessibility, it’s not the thought that counts.

Elevator sign in the hospital with Braille printed onto the paper….so it’s flat from NotMyJob

These all show that editors and QA specialists need a raise, pronto, because without them, there would be a whole lot more.

(I won’t tell you how many typos I found in reviewing this article.)

You Can Buy Jeans with Stains to Look Like You Peed Yourself

Just when I think I’ve seen everything, the internet throws something totally new at me.

I’m not sure I’ve been up on the latest trends since the 90s, and maybe not even then.

Did all kids wear ginormous t-shirts, or was it just me?

Anyway, buckle in, because apparently (supposedly?) there’s a new fashion trend in town: peeing your pants.

It seems like it started out as people just goofing around on TikTok using audio from the Adam Sandler movie Billy Madison where he tells some kids that it’s cool to pee your pants.

Then it turned into last year’s dumb new social media challenge with the hashtag #peeyourpantschallenge.

But people were bored. And stuck inside. So I think we can forgive them.

Whether it was moms working out:

♬ Peeing your pants is the cooliest – TikToksSoundGuy

That’s how social media challenges go.

It was something to do for the set of people not interested in baking lockdown cakes or sourdough bread.

But when the movement went viral and started getting picked up by news outlets, it seems like some people took the TikTok goofiness a little too far.

A company called Wet Pants Denim launched a new clothing line with the tagline “Wet look, dry feel” selling–you guessed it–pre peed-on pants…

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by Wet Pants Denim (@wetpantsdenim)

For blue jeans, the darkened pants could be stained with any substance, but for lighter pants they use an egg yolk yellow that would make me worry about your vitamin intake.

Not only that, but for customers in the U.S. who are eco-minded and don’t want to purchase new denim, for the low, low cost of $30, you can send them your current pants, and the company will stain those for you.

I mean I guess they could come in handy for people who routinely splash water on their lap.

Like I said, I’m not sure I understand high fashion, but this one seems like a swing and miss. What do you think? Beyond ridiculous, or are you ready to buy your own pair? Tell us in the comments.

Family takes “If I Fits, I Sits” to a Whole New Level With Their Cat

When I was a kid I really liked the idea of tiny rooms. Sure, I had a normal sized bedroom. But inside my closet, there was a tiny door.

Where did it lead? (I don’t know. I think it was locked and led to the pipes.)

And even though I had a room of my own, I longed to have a tiny secret room that no one could go in but me.

Turns out, maybe cats feel the same way. It’s a proven fact that cats like containers.

There’s a reason why “If I fits, I sits,” has become a slogan for cat lovers everywhere.

Even big cats aren’t immune.

And we all know how they feel about boxes.

But could it be that all this sitting in tight places is because secretly, cats want tiny bedrooms of their own?

One family recently found out.

After adopting a tuxedo kitty called Wyatt from a shelter, Bryan Davies really wanted to make the cat feel at home.

His bedroom had a sort of secret, unused cupboard and so Bryan renovated it for his feline friend, complete with cat-sized furniture and pictures on the wall.

It’s the perfect, cozy little container for a cat.

And because Wyatt was an avid birdwatcher, they completed the setup with a wall-mounted tablet for watching YouTube videos of birds and other wildlife.

What a cushy pad!

As Bryan told The Dodo:

“He spends a lot of time in there, asking to watch his show before taking a nap.

He zones out to the screen like a normal teen. And he naps — hard.

He really does enjoy it as much as a kid who finally got his own room.”

It kind of reminds me of a favorite childhood story, the Little Golden Book Home for a Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown.

Not only does Wyatt have a nice little room, but he loves boxes like any cat, and his room has a good deal of symmetry going on.

That’s interesting because, according to a recent study, it’s not just containers that cats love.

Ever wonder why they also want to lie down on your laptop, keyboard, notepad, or book?

Apparently it’s not just to irritate you.

According to this new study, squares and rectangles, the actual shapes are what often attract cats.

The researchers found that cats will actually sit inside an optical illusion of a square, because they like squares so much.

It’s fascinating! No wonder Wyatt loves his little room with its little bed and TV.

What do you think about all this? Does your pet need their own bedroom too? Tell us your thoughts in the comments.
