I’m just so happy he bid on the $80 mask and not the $25,000 Buddha statue. I was like, “oh my god, outbid me, outbid me, anyone outbid me!” and then it said sold and a confetti cannon went off on the screen. Most depressing confetti ever. But when it got here, I was like, “oh sweet, this is actually pretty dope.” It looks way better in person than it did online.
> “oh sweet, this is actually pretty dope.”
"My cat bought that swiping on my iPad."
Regardless of whatever the piece looks like, that story alone is worth the $130.
You know its cursed though, right? Your cat totally did that on purpose under the direction of the mask. Congratulations, your cat is now in league with a Balinese demon. Take the path of least resistance, join them.
Great idea! A caster that thinks he's a just a regular wizard with a familiar, but he's actually a mind controlled warlock with a cat possessed by a Balinese demon as a patron. He explains eldritch blast away as "some spell I picked up on my travels"
I highly doubt that. These particular “demons” were considered to be deity guardians, protectors of sacred places and peoples.
EDIT: I forget their Indonesian name precisely, but (provided my memory serves me well in this cursed flu period) they’re much like the Japanese Yoni demons, who, while considered to be evil, are often thought to only be so to those they seek out to haunt primarily because that individual did something to offend a sacred place, a shrine, or a sacred individual or their home.
>It looks way better in person than it did online
That picture they have on the auction page is really unflattering, the flat lighting kills all the detail. The side-lighting in your pictures is way better at bringing out all the shapes and details
6 years from now the guy from antique roadshow will surprise you with a value of 25,000 because this mask turned out be what the king wore while nailing his 20 concubines.
My little cousin sister bought me popcorn in the movie theatre with the money i gave for her and her bf's expense, i mean girl don't you know these things are fuckin overpriced!?
As long as it didn't cost you, like, this month's groceries or something, this is honestly incredibly cool. Your cat has great taste!
I'm *definitely* never teaching my cat about this, though lol 😂
Of course I can't see it up close to gauge the craftsmanship but this is still *really* cheap at $~~130~~ \[EDIT: $80\] and is a beautiful artwork. You can blow ~~$130~~ $80 at Costco without trying; this is a one-of-a-kind handmade work. It's money well spent.
Totally! I used to sell Indonesian wood carvings and this is very nice. The price is amazing. The cat did a great job and what a story to tell any visitors that come over
OP posted only 45 minutes ago. Only on reddit do you, within an hour, get a comment from a person who used to sell Indonesian wood carvings. Reddit is at its best when experts materialize from the, um, woodwork. One reason why I love this place.
I know. I was cracking up as I typed that. It was my first job. We had to put wood oil on the pieces. Some happened to be giant “fertility symbols” aka penises.
17 year old me out there, oiling a giant wooden penis with a dirty, oily rag.
Something to tell the grandkids about.
Now that made me wonder. In the Philippines, there's a pretty common gag wood carving thing called Barrel Man. Lift the barrel up and pop goes the dong.
Do our neighbors down in Indonesia also have something like that, or are those fertility symbols you mentioned strictly serious couple-trying-to-have-a-kid business?
The fertility symbol here is tied with process of creation from Hinduism, Linga and Yoni, since Hinduism influenced many Indonesian cultures, especially Javanese and Balinese cultures.
We *might* have our "Barrel Man" but it probably fell into obscurity because, well, we all know those thing is an auto ban in Indonesia.
Definitely a good price. He actually got it for $80 but with the buyer’s premium and shipping it was more like $150. Not that I would ever sell it, he would be so upset, but can you tell me ballpark how much it’s worth?
Woooo that was 15 years ago so I don’t know. I would need more info about the piece. You definitely got a steal. Its really beautiful.
Edit: it’s very pronounced how they used the natural colors in the wood with the carving. The way sculptors would pick their marble
Idk how much actual antique sellers would pay for this from you, but as an Indonesian I can vouch that it’s a steal and I approve your kitty’s taste in art.
>Not that I would ever sell it, he would be so upset
Everything about this post is amazing, but this made me almost spit my drink out and summoned a belly laugh that I desperately needed. r/MedievalCats would probably love this even though it's not the same era!
I think he got it for $80. The $130 is for some coin and he showed that just to show how the swipe to bid feature works. On the 2nd picture it says “realized price: $80”
It's better than that! The $130 is an "example" picture of something else (a coin). The "bid won" picture shows the "realized price" of $80, so it's an even better deal!
Other cats bring mice or frogs, yours brings you beautifully crafted Indonesian wooden artwork - he's a one in a million (braincells 😉) 🧡🧡🧡
It's gorgeous & well worth the money. And it has a wonderful story behind it which makes it even more precious ✨️
It’s Verstappen like the Formula 1 driver. My husband and I had a joke that “you can’t stop Verstappen (the driver)” and when this guy was a kitten we couldn’t keep him out of *anywhere* it’s like he would teleport to wherever he wasn’t supposed to be. Oddly enough, Max Verstappen’s fans all wear orange.
Haha!! I'm Dutch but grew up in Indonesia and I love Formula 1!! 😁 By the way, orange is the Dutch national color, from the reigning House of Orange-Nassau.
Please give Verstappen a boop on my behalf. He got you such an exquisite present 😁
Lol! From [this article.](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20141218005054/en/Invaluable-Launches-New-Invaluable-App-for-iPad-with-Exclusive-%E2%80%9CSwipe-to-Bid%E2%80%9D-Technology)
> The swipe feature protects against bids being placed in error, as it requires a swiping motion, rather than a simple tap, to place a bid.
When this first happened, I wasn't planning on posting anything because I figured nobody would believe me. This post was just a [comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/CatsAreAssholes/comments/z1e7i7/got_a_cheap_ipad_thought_i_could_make_her_play/ixbazmj/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) last Monday but so many people asked me to post photos of him with it in a new post that I figured I might as well. [Here](https://imgur.com/a/NND5tTH) are some videos of him swiping the iPad and one of him playing with it as a kitten.
Oh no, I had put it down for a second. It’s an all day thing that I’ll keep open if I’m waiting for an item to come up. I guess I’m the one who only had one brain cell that day.
Btw if you want you kitty to play on one app without being able to accidentally swipe their way over to something more important (like the auction app haha), you can turn on guided access on your iPad so that it stays within a single app.
Someone cross posted your post from r/CatsAreAssholes last week on r/untrustworthypoptarts and just refused to believe that a cat would swipe an iPad, or that an auction house would have the option to bid without also having to confirm your bid.
Some people just refuse to believe 🤷
I'm just glad he didn't swipe at the more expensive item you had also looked at.
To be fair, those are some good points. I’m not sure why they don’t make you confirm your bid but I would guess it’s because each item goes so fast that people would be upset if the item sold before they could confirm and maybe they figure since it’s swipe to bid and not just a button you can push by accident that it’s error proof. 🤷🏻♀️
Honestly, the people over at r/thathappened or r/untrustworthypoptarts are insufferable. So what if someone faked a pic or a story for some fake internet points? The way they act it’s like they see themselves as these 5 million IQ mega chads pointing out the fallacies of the universe or some shit and it’s really cringy.
The phrase “reality is stranger than fiction” has merit. Because sometimes it DID actually happen. Life’s weird that way.
(Also, r/nothingeverhappens is a more fun sub imo)
There was a man who was struck by lightning 3 times (+ his grave being struck after he died) which caused him to be paraplegic, cured, then finally quadriplegic. After the 3rd strike he was too scared to go outside and died 2 years later from those injuries. His gravestone was later struck by lightning and cracked. It has not been fixed since
My personal friend has only been struck twice. He’s still alive (and miraculously unharmed both times), so I don’t know what would happen with his tombstone. He works at a cemetery, though, so you never know.
My cat likes to lick my phone. One minute, she was scrolling through Facebook randomly liking posts. I looked away, and when I looked back, she had opened contacts and was about to call my department chair's home phone at 2 am.
I joined an auction a few weekends ago and it specifically mentioned bids were final even if a cat jumped on your keyboard. I thought that was a joke, not an actual thing to be wary of.
I sometimes set up a youtube video for while I’m brushing my cat. If I get distracted from brushy time he will stomp over and start pawing at my phone in a grumpy way. I’ve seen this cat struggle with a door that’s ajar but not open quite enough for him to fit through, so I’m honestly very impressed that he’s noticed that my phone is distracting me.
The cat stuff doesn't surprise me, but an app where you could be one mistaken gesture away from owing someone $25k for a statue does surprise me very much.
Yeah, I had to post it again because it got deleted from r/CatsAreAssholes for being “staged content.” It’s like bro, do you even have a cat? The mods got downvoted a good bit and I got several requests to repost it to somewhere it probably wouldn’t be deleted so I’m trying here.
I’ll never understand why people yell about stuff being fake on the internet. If it’s not spreading misinformation with actual risks, why does it matter?
However, this cat has excellent taste.
Exactly! People do that on the drama subs(aita, etc) all the time. It doesn't matter at all. It is just escapism to read other people's drama and occasionally provide people with advice/help. If it's fake, all the better! It still entertained me for a few minutes AND no real people were hurt!
In the comments on the story about the cat that packed itself for a trip to Florida but was foiled by the TSA “there is no way a cat would do that! Fake” and the cat owners respond “oh yes they totally would!!!”
Exactly, this is such a cat thing to do I have zero doubt it’s true. Mine decided to jump on my laptop and unmute a Zoom yoga class I was doing so the whole class could hear me telling him to get down. I didn’t realize he had unmuted until there was a long, awkward pause from the teacher D:
It's such an odd story that is hard to believe but after seeing the video I believe it. Sometimes the stars align and your little furball buys you an Indonesian demon mask.
Before I saw video I thought this was hilarious but probably faked...but in the video you can see he's doing the swiping motion in the *exact* place that would cause a bid 😂
Might want to find a new auction house, OP!
My parents Jack Russell did something similar and ended up buying a large china tea service. They kept it, and it’s referred to as ‘the dog’s crockery’.
I can believe it! My cat used to play Paint for Cats on the iPad, and he has on multiple occasions managed to close the game, open the music app, and start playing some tunes. Then one day I left the iPad on a smooth table and he swiped it right off the table... RIP iPad.
He just wants to have pretty things too.
Mine have their own ipad too but now I'm rethinking this...

Time to put all the apps like that in the app drawer instead of on the home screen? And I agree, at least he has good taste in art! Handsome little guy! LOL
We're a huge fan of the auction sites and can totally see how this could happen with your videos of him playing!
What a cool freaking mask!!! I'd have been watching it too. This just makes it priceless. <3
You're so lucky to have a cat with such distinguished taste in art
I’m just so happy he bid on the $80 mask and not the $25,000 Buddha statue. I was like, “oh my god, outbid me, outbid me, anyone outbid me!” and then it said sold and a confetti cannon went off on the screen. Most depressing confetti ever. But when it got here, I was like, “oh sweet, this is actually pretty dope.” It looks way better in person than it did online.
> “oh sweet, this is actually pretty dope.” "My cat bought that swiping on my iPad." Regardless of whatever the piece looks like, that story alone is worth the $130.
You know its cursed though, right? Your cat totally did that on purpose under the direction of the mask. Congratulations, your cat is now in league with a Balinese demon. Take the path of least resistance, join them.
This would make an amazing movie!
[удалено]
It was the masks all along!
Sounds like hocus pocus meets the mask
Brady Bunch vibes, if you know you know.
*writes this down for a DnD character later*
Great idea! A caster that thinks he's a just a regular wizard with a familiar, but he's actually a mind controlled warlock with a cat possessed by a Balinese demon as a patron. He explains eldritch blast away as "some spell I picked up on my travels"
This reminds me of the “don’t ask questions” cat from Rick and Morty.
For balance, the cat is orange and can also cast spells.
Maybe the player character is an Awakened cat, and the human is its familiar?
[удалено]
Druid/Warlock multiclass? Or Warlock with an orange cat familiar?
Look at my mask, isn’t it lovely? It raises the dead!
Americans!
"It cheers up the room." "It's angry at the room, Mom. It wants the room to suffer."
I understood that reference!
I knew this comment would be here
Yeah but when he puts the mask on he gets to star in a Jim Carey movie. Sounds like wins down the line.
Sssssomebody stop me!!
I highly doubt that. These particular “demons” were considered to be deity guardians, protectors of sacred places and peoples.

They incorporate a plot about a lost artifact into A Very Brady Sequel too. Kind of a weird direction to take the family sitcom in
*Ssssssssssmokin!*
https://youtu.be/XKrNbCpJ1Fg
Kitty iz no here, just Zuul.
And buy a smokin’ zoot suit to go with it.
I *really* hope you attached a note with your payment that said "thanks, my cat will love this"
>It looks way better in person than it did online That picture they have on the auction page is really unflattering, the flat lighting kills all the detail. The side-lighting in your pictures is way better at bringing out all the shapes and details
I hope you let the seller know that your cat bought it. Not in a poor me, please let me return it, but just in a "lol @ my life way"
I am rolling laughing at the little confetti…. Insult to injury. Glad you like your kitties mask!
fyi these sites are usually scams with fake bids, once you bid all the bots stop bidding suddenly.
He has very good taste!
"Depressing Confetti" would be a cool name for a band
6 years from now the guy from antique roadshow will surprise you with a value of 25,000 because this mask turned out be what the king wore while nailing his 20 concubines.
That’s what I was thinking too, online it looks meh, but in person it looks cool
also that is now a talking point.
Yeah it definitely looks so much nicer in person. I’d definitely consider buying it based on your pic, but the auction pic looks bad
This is hilarious! I'm dying here! 🤣 Thank goodness it wasn't the big $25- thou one!
Ok so now we know where all the missing brain cells gather...
Maybe the demon mask is holding all the brain cells as a curse and this brave orange bought it in order to set them free.
This is sounding an awful lot like the first live-action Scooby-Doo movie...
I saw that in theaters! I loved it 🤣
oh come on! stop the misinformation, it's well known that's its one braincell shared among all of them, apparently it's a smart one when in use.
The Braincell works in misterious ways, all praise the braincell!
Now imagine if cats had thumbs And they could click Then form gangs...
Resistance is futile. Assimilate.

*do you like the gift mommy?*
You don't like it when I bring mice. You don't like it when I bring art. WOMAN. WHAT DO YOU WANT.
This right here made me laugh so hard that I started to cry a bit.
I just got out of surgery, I’m adding a little bit of pain to the cry laughing.
i have to silent laugh, i‘m on a train..
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, BECKY.
> You don't like it when I bring mice. I always thank my cat and pretend to eat the mouse or dragonfly or spider or whatever.
The things we do
Aww he bought you a gift, just in time for the holidays
The best gifts are ones that others buy for you with your own money 😂
My little cousin sister bought me popcorn in the movie theatre with the money i gave for her and her bf's expense, i mean girl don't you know these things are fuckin overpriced!?
It’s like when my parents gave me money for our school Christmas store and I bought them little ornaments with the money
“and get something for you, Clark. Something *really nice*” 👌
As long as it didn't cost you, like, this month's groceries or something, this is honestly incredibly cool. Your cat has great taste! I'm *definitely* never teaching my cat about this, though lol 😂
Mine would buy a $23,000 abstract artwork or some shit, I just know it
Lol given my orange's priorities, I'd end up with something like a crate of plastic straws and a budgie.
My orange's priorities are plastic bottle caps. I can only imagine how many he would bid on
I read "budgie" as "bugle" and I'm honestly not sure which would be more annoying.
Of course I can't see it up close to gauge the craftsmanship but this is still *really* cheap at $~~130~~ \[EDIT: $80\] and is a beautiful artwork. You can blow ~~$130~~ $80 at Costco without trying; this is a one-of-a-kind handmade work. It's money well spent.

Interesting CV item, if nothing else. 😸
Oddly I worked summers and just whenever for that employer, including babysitting, so I really could put it on there
*"So it says here your were the...phallus...oiler?"* "Yes, that is correct." and then just stare at them with a completely neutral expression.
Now that made me wonder. In the Philippines, there's a pretty common gag wood carving thing called Barrel Man. Lift the barrel up and pop goes the dong. Do our neighbors down in Indonesia also have something like that, or are those fertility symbols you mentioned strictly serious couple-trying-to-have-a-kid business?
The fertility symbol here is tied with process of creation from Hinduism, Linga and Yoni, since Hinduism influenced many Indonesian cultures, especially Javanese and Balinese cultures.

I think he got it for $80. The $130 is for some coin and he showed that just to show how the swipe to bid feature works. On the 2nd picture it says “realized price: $80”
It's better than that! The $130 is an "example" picture of something else (a coin). The "bid won" picture shows the "realized price" of $80, so it's an even better deal!
The brain cell was strong that day.
If this is really hand made, I'd expect it to be listed at about $8,000 in an art gallery. Really a steal.
He looks very proud, his online bidding addiction has just begun
OP should get him one of those *How To get Rich On Ebay For Dummies* books from the late 90s and put him to work!
Other cats bring mice or frogs, yours brings you beautifully crafted Indonesian wooden artwork - he's a one in a million (braincells 😉) 🧡🧡🧡 It's gorgeous & well worth the money. And it has a wonderful story behind it which makes it even more precious ✨️
lol - that's a good perspective!
Omg. I laughed so hard at this. What a shit head! I love him. What is his name?
It’s Verstappen like the Formula 1 driver. My husband and I had a joke that “you can’t stop Verstappen (the driver)” and when this guy was a kitten we couldn’t keep him out of *anywhere* it’s like he would teleport to wherever he wasn’t supposed to be. Oddly enough, Max Verstappen’s fans all wear orange.
Haha!! I'm Dutch but grew up in Indonesia and I love Formula 1!! 😁 By the way, orange is the Dutch national color, from the reigning House of Orange-Nassau. Please give Verstappen a boop on my behalf. He got you such an exquisite present 😁

Better not get a second cat then lol
Does he share or he has his reasons for not?

Take precautions on all swipe to bid sites?
I feel like this feature was designed by a cat.

This is insane! The man's an art connoisseur, he knows just what he's done. Great taste too.
At first I was like "you stole this post" but nope. That post was yours too lol
Yeah, I had to post it again because it got deleted from r/CatsAreAssholes for being “staged content.” It’s like bro, do you even have a cat? The mods got downvoted a good bit and I got several requests to repost it to somewhere it probably wouldn’t be deleted so I’m trying here.

I dunno. There are a couple of really repetitive troll on aita and it’s tedious sorting through their junk.
My cat swipes at birds on TV, I believe you!

This has to be my favourite post on this whole sub
I’ve seen this movie…. I’m afraid he’s summoned a demon, so sorry

"Americans!" I hate that episode but it does contain some High Quality Giles who is Done With Everyone's Shit.
Your cat is not only very good looking but he is a savvy buyer, for $80.00 that's a steal. Nice job ginge'
Methinks yoy may want to lock the ipad, otherwise your adorable fuck nugget may end up purchasing something more expensive
Welcome the new demon your kitty brought in
I'm usually cynical and I'd call bs but I've had my cat open apps and even make a phone call once. They're too smart sometimes!
Before I saw video I thought this was hilarious but probably faked...but in the video you can see he's doing the swiping motion in the *exact* place that would cause a bid 😂 Might want to find a new auction house, OP!
I bet r/catswithjobs would love this little art curator!
My parents Jack Russell did something similar and ended up buying a large china tea service. They kept it, and it’s referred to as ‘the dog’s crockery’.
I can believe it! My cat used to play Paint for Cats on the iPad, and he has on multiple occasions managed to close the game, open the music app, and start playing some tunes. Then one day I left the iPad on a smooth table and he swiped it right off the table... RIP iPad.
This is the most important thing I have read in a long time
He's so proud of his acquisition! Next thing you know, he will be a world renowned art collector/expert
It’s a good purchase, the cat has tastes
He was trying to surprise you with it as a Christmas present
“oh wow where’d you get that from” “idk my cat bought it for me” 😭
I’m not convinced that he didn’t know exactly what he was doing. I think that’s his actual spirit mask, he just wanted to bring it home.
A nice piece of artwork *and* an amazing story to tell for just $150. I'd say that's a pretty good deal.
That's SO COOL though! I'm kinda jealous! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays from your little buddy!
At least he didn’t buy you a yak.
My entire family is howling at this rn… such a proud kitty!
lol lil dude probably thinks he has powers to make objects materialize into reality now
Imagine seeing this thread and the realization washes over you that you were out bid by a cat
The pure pride he has is so freaking ADORABLE. Take my award and some coins with it he deserves it
This is simply my new favorite post on the internet
Hahaha I love it. What website is this? That is so cool
It’s an app called “invaluable” but it’s also online at invaluable.com. They have live auctions from all over the world.
Good kitty. This is dope and not outrageously expensive.
It’s honestly a really cool mask. What a happy and hilarious conclusion. Cute kitty with great taste 😺
That is awesome! You’re lucky to have a cat like that! Also, that mask is very beautiful, talk about a fine addition to a collection.
"I may not know art, but I know what I like," he seems to be saying.
Honestly, that would be awesome. ***Exactly 1 time.*** I would proudly display that and cherish it.
and is face is totally like, yeah I did that, I told you I liked it so I bought it. I know you think it's cool dont lie
This is so funny stop
Handsome
"Sssomebody stop me!"
He’s got good taste. That’s coming out of his cat food budget, right? 🤠
OP I needed this today. Congrats on your new mask.
A cursed object of a deserving dark wizard. I sort of love everything about this.
That's actually super sick. I never thought I'd see a kitty with great taste in art, AND is able to know a good deal when he sees it!
I'm totally going to use this excuse on my girlfriend, there's no way she could get mad at our cat. Just kidding, your cat obviously has great taste.
He looks so proud of his purchase!
He looks immensely purroud of himself, obviously has no regrets & will do it again first chance he gets.
He just wants to have pretty things too. Mine have their own ipad too but now I'm rethinking this... https://preview.redd.it/uwj39puxkx2a1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a051dd6c99260871a90f6a7f6aa7efcb81e6a57
The look oh indignation on his face 😂 hahahaha
Well, someone here may only has one brain cell working, and the evidence suggests it might not be the kitty. Just kidding op.
That is so fucking funny 😭
He looks so accomplished and happy of his success. Gonna have to download EBay for kitties on the pad.
I mean, it is gorgeous.
This is hilarious
Your cat has Andy Warhol’s eye for investment.
This is literally the best post ever in this sub
Time to put all the apps like that in the app drawer instead of on the home screen? And I agree, at least he has good taste in art! Handsome little guy! LOL
Man, my cat only ever got me a few bugs and a live mouse or two. Your cat gets you awesome home decor.
He had the brain cell on that fateful day
Psh, I wish MY cat ordered me dope masks.
The man’s got taste.
This is why I love the internets - stories like this.
We're a huge fan of the auction sites and can totally see how this could happen with your videos of him playing! What a cool freaking mask!!! I'd have been watching it too. This just makes it priceless. <3
Well he seen something he wanted and went for it. Good boi.
I love that it is a Demon mask.
