Whoever designed this with its implicit assumption that the cat won't then proceed onto the table has never met a cat.

[–] Aleric@lemmy.world 50 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We have two cats. They'll both get their heads in the hole and get stuck.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago

Such is cat.

At least they should offer a clear plastic bubble - the head could come up, the eyes could see, but the paws stay off the table.

[–] makuus@pawb.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can it be a clicky Pop-o-Matic bubble?

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Pop-o-Matic

'Had to look that up... Now I remember those things.

So the big (table) version would have something to attract the cat. Maybe a bell and a treat dispenser? Fun idea!

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

This is smart. Also the cat won't be meowing aggressively to eat your food.

How could you cut the ending though

[–] oce@jlai.lu 7 points 1 year ago

Fixed, it's not easy to find tbh.

There is a Japanese youtuber, called Jun, who has actually trained his cats very well, and he let's them watch him cook fresh meals. I assume they also don't try to snatch food from peoples' plates, since they never interrupt his cooking.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

My cat would love this. He loves sitting on my stool watching me cook. He loves hanging out with me while I eat but never tries to eat my food, can even leave him alone with the food. But when I eat he loves to get up in my business lmao so a table like this would be his jam.

[–] RatBin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The young one is like this. She does not care about human food. But the big ones haven't been trained by me, so they do misbehave. I have to keep an extra eye because most of the food we eat is not fit for cats. Secondly: the vet gave me a precise diet and they better keep it, else they can't hide they snatched food as they usually do not digest it fine. Than there a stray cat who is absolutely educated and only easts his food.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

They should have just put an inset box in the middle with the access hatch in the bottom. Best case you keep the cat contained and worst case you can have an in-table hibachi grill spot.

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It's exclusively for well behaved cats.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fact that the center does not lock in place means the creator has either never owned a cat, or has only owned extremely well-behaved cats. My kitty would spend all day making as much noise as physically possible with that center plug.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

sounds of the center plug sliding across tile

[–] Ginger666@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (4 children)

slams the cover on the cats head pushing the cat down

NO KITTY THAT'S A BAD KITTY!

NO KITTY THAT'S MY POTPIE

[–] skooma_king@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Moooom Mr. Kitty’s being a dildo

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Well I know a certain kitty kitty that's sleeping with mommy tonight!

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

NO KITTY! THESE ARE MY CHEESEY POOFS!

This place is awesome!

[–] Marduk73@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

looks like the monkey brains bashing table from Indiana Jones.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

I, unfortunately, had the same thought. I want this to be 100% cute so bad, but my PTSD is interfering.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ugh... This reminds me of the monkey scene in Faces of Death.

[–] Aaroncvx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I had a similar memory of a T.C. Boyle short story but I am immediately re-traumatized. If you know you know.

[–] NOOBMASTER@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I want to see this in action.
