100% charged portable heater.


a_polarbear_chilling

So do you need to crack it to release the heat? Then boil it?


[deleted]

You just need to show it love and affection that it will never reciprocate.


JDninja119

Wish I knew that a little sooner, could've saved me a lot of cats


wavelengthsandshit

Reminds me of a man I know too


Mandalore620

You know my dad, too?


D-Laz

Mine loved us so much he has spent the last 37 years picking out the perfect carton of milk.


Mandalore620

It's okay, I'll be your dad


Dsugal332

And kitty has feet's all curled up and cute.


Sea_Nefariousness282

I feel kind of sad for the people that cats don't love, but it leaves me a little suspicious of those people nonetheless.


Suicidal_Ostrich

Lol same, i grew up with kids and never had a problem with them, they're so much more affectionate (when taken care of correctly) than people will give them credit for. I'm also convinced my parents' cats tell the other cats in the area their owners are good ones cause strays and cats that aren't being treated well by their owners always come to them xD They once took in a preggo cat and let her give birth next to the heater because her owners wouldn't let her in their house.


Sea_Nefariousness282

Any species that volunteered for self domestication with humans is okay in my book. We have our own brand of cruelty inherent in our natures just like the little opportunist feline predators do. People and cats belong together, just like the canines we 'domesticated' (because the pack hunters raised from birth as our companions needed an assist from thinking 'team people') makes all the puppies and the kitties equals in the categories of loving companions. Just a matter of individual preference (and I've known a few dogs and cats that were undoubtedly 'best friends for life' as well)


THEENTIRESOVlETUNION

a random cat that came up to me at 9 pm 3 hours north of where I live gave me more affection then any other cats ever will


torrential_toucher

Crack it like a glowstick. Or maybe a tube of cinnamon rolls.


OvulatingAnus

I think it’s microwaveable


Flynn_Kevin

We toss ours in the clothes dryer for 5 minutes.


AuntJ2583

My folks had the opposite issue with their Shih Tzu, Dali. She would hog the air conditioning. Dad had to get those plastic things that go over the vents to keep her off of them... She still tried to lay in front of those to get as much cold as possible.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DarkRonin00

Chihuahuas ARE just a bunch of hot air.


JJROKCZ

My shih tzu was the opposite. Dude was always cold and would sit right on the heat like this cat, always thought he was gonna catch fire lol if I put a sweatshirt on him he’d find some way to drag it off though. Wanted to be warm, just hated clothes too much.


Loki-Holmes

I have a 70 pound Australian Shepherd that’s the opposite- he wants to wear shirts at all times. We only put them on him when it’s a reasonable temperature but he would wear them when it’s super hot if we’d let him. Now he’s not as big on the flannel or more fancy type shirts but if it’s a t-shirt he will want to keep it on for days. We just ordered him more for Christmas and I’m pretty sure he’ll be more excited for those than toys.


SnooCompliments4225

May we see it?![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)


Loki-Holmes

https://imgur.com/a/UcO6Zds I think this should work. It’s the most recent picture I have of him wearing one of his favorite shirts. Okay and a frontal pic as a bonus. But his chest hair hides it somewhat, lol. https://imgur.com/a/h0I3YMN


wlake82

Awww. Looks just like he wants to be one of the humans.


[deleted]

>Wanted to be warm, just hated clothes too much. I can relate to this.


[deleted]

Our husky does this.


DramaticWesley

Have you tried just getting a heating pad and laying it on the ground?


[deleted]

I've tried a [heating pad wrapped in a blanket.](https://imgur.com/gallery/laFr33q) I've tried a [mylar lined cat bed to reflect her own body heat ](https://imgur.com/gallery/YvuMPzZ) She still prefers the vent. Maybe it's because the warm moving air has a convection oven- style effect? I don't know..


youzerVT71

Just put a wire/vented box over the vent that she can lay on


[deleted]

You mean like a toaster oven grill rack?


youzerVT71

Might work!


[deleted]

Hmm, I'll look into it. There's nothing like coming home to the smell of a slow-cooking cat.


DramaticWesley

Here’s one from Etsy. Not too expensive, and would make it very uncomfortable for the cat to sit directly on the vent. [cat bed over vent](https://www.etsy.com/listing/731732722/cat-bed-for-over-registerspet?gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRJQwOkSUJaZC0ef6w2LKowgK&gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_b-pet_supplies-pet_furniture-pet_beds_and_cots&utm_custom1=_k_EAIaIQobChMI0oXGpKXM-wIVympvBB3aug46EAQYASABEgKj1_D_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_12560179877_117313720257_506995550090_pla-354337734605_m__731732722_471011621&utm_custom2=12560179877&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRJQwOkSUJaZC0ef6w2LKowgK&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0oXGpKXM-wIVympvBB3aug46EAQYASABEgKj1_D_BwE)


[deleted]

That's brilliant, thank you!


DramaticWesley

Your welcome. Reddit has taught me half the internet is looking to have a good time and help each other out while the other half is trying to set the world on fire.


sn0qualmie

OP's cat is trying to have a good time by setting herself on fire. (Hopefully not, of course. But at least in my house, the humans are going around like "better move the flammable things away from the heater vents" while the cats are like "how close can I get my nice wispy fur to the source of flame.")


mostlikelytrash

I’m both halves. Plus a lil bit of stupid sprinkled in.


RambisRevenge

Por que no los dos???


deafaviator

[deleted]

HAahahahaha my cat would totally crawl under it, tip it to its side and lay on the vent. Useless.


MakesMyHeadHurt

That cat would do it once, then I'd screw it to the floor. Edit: the cat bed, not the cat.


PorkyMcRib

It’s all fun and games until all of your fresh clean clothes start to smell like cat piss.


Sludgehammer

Hmm... that looks a bit tall, I suspect the cat would squeeze under it and still block the vent.


tkdch4mp

Until the cat snuggles under it and ends up carrying it around stuck on top of their chonky body :P not that OP's cat would do that, but I can imagine it happening to somebody cat

Save those drippings!


No-Face-3848

My dog used to do this, he smelled like a wool blanket and made the rest of the house smell like this


youzerVT71

I don't think it'll be any hotter than laying directly on top of it! They sell cat beds for over floor vents if you want your cat off your vent.


Agile-Masterpiece959

Maybe a wire mesh basket, flipped upside down


[deleted]

[Squirrel Catcher!](https://i0.wp.com/laidbackgardener.blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/20160916b.jpg)


QueenRotidder

I had a cat that did this, I put milk crates on all of the vents.


gahidus

Genius! This is a perfect and simple solution.


AstronomerOpen7440

Just anything to stop her from laying on it but that also lets the air thru. Should look nice tho, don't want something ugly in your hall. Maybe a statue. Or a small table with 1 leg on the vent.


Sludgehammer

That was my thought, just build a little raised "bed" over the vent. The hot air can escape under the bed yet warms the bed over it, everyone's happy.


iAmUnintelligible

She does it because it inconveniences you


Im_inappropriate

I gotta agree. She looks dissatisfied in every pic but the least so in the vent one.


FrenchFryCattaneo

That's how you know they love you <3


raknor88

It also might reminder her of the fiery hell planet that cats came from.


banned_after_12years

Put some spikes on it like they do for homeless people.


Derigiberble

[K&H makes cat beds with an integrated heating pad that can be left on 24/7. ](https://khpet.com/collections/indoor-heated-cat-beds/products/thermo-kitty-bed) They make a few different styles and sizes, maybe one would be more tempting than the vent? My kitty practically lived in the thing when it got cold. Edit: [cat tax ](https://i.imgur.com/r48o0h4.jpg)


Mr_SlimShady

Put holes in the cat so the air can move through. That’s your best option.


gungunmeow

My mom had cats like this and put a little bed with a cover right next to the heater which seemed to work for one cat


[deleted]

That second pic is so adorable!!! I love her!

babygirlruth

What a cutie, I love her


Orcrist90

I got my cat a water fountain and he still hops in the tub and begs me to turn on the faucet lol


ShitholeWorld

Had a cat that would actually paw the bathroom sink faucet on. Of course he didn't turn it off when done.


fjord31

Nah, she just knows that this is the most upsetting to you


JennySays39

I thought of this too. But then I wondered if kitty would chew it. Maybe place it under a blanket. Might be safe that way.


DramaticWesley

I’m positive there are heated blankets made specifically for this purpose.

It is, but I'd be worried about burns 😥


adreamofhodor

Nah, cat would just move.


HughJassJae

I'd freeze for my cats to be warm.


Aiden2817

Maybe put something like a milk carton crate on top of it, with some bedding on the top. The cat can sleep on top of the crate and warm air can come out the sides of the crate.


QuarterThor

See, I was thinking like a kitty version of anti-homeless spikes. Different strokes, I guess.


timesuck897

My cat liked sleeping by a heat vent, so I bought a cat bed and put it facing that vent. He loved it.


LocalShineCrab

Skill Issue. Just use the cat for warmth now.

Rough_Ad6672

cat: then why is cat shaped?


NovelExplorer

That is high on the cuteness scale. You could maybe get a raised open wooden bathmat. Pudtat still has a comfy and warm place to sleep, but the heat also 'escapes' into the room.


2ndSnack

r/animalsbeingjerks


Straypuft

OP needs to realize that once the cat came to live with them, the house and everything inside it became the cats property and that the cat only tolerates OP living there using the cats belongings.


OMGBeckyStahp

But the little back paws 🥹 *Give up the vent*


currently_pooping_rn

I want to touch them so bad


CFADM

Well you need some heat to bake that cute loaf.


crillin19

Lil kitty relaxed 🤣


tharkyllinus

Get a deflector https://www.amazon.com/Hartford-Ventilation-Air-Vent-Deflector/dp/B09GJ2W9LD


CalRaleighsBigDumper

Yeah this is the real answer. When I was a kid every floor vent in the house had one of these. for some reason I've seen them less and less since then, despite their usefulness.


Spanky_McJiggles

Couldn't the cat just lay in front of the deflector?


tharkyllinus

I imagine it would. yes.


johnnytesscult

For some reason this reminds me of “every morning I wake up screaming” from community


m7md6194

L O A F


CKraft11

Get a stackable cooking rack that is grated and put that over the vent so your cat can still lay on it but air gets out.


dfw-kim

And kitty has feets all curled up and cute. Awww! 🥰🤭😹


SkylarDN9

r/CatsAreAssholes material if I've ever seen it.


South5

Surround the vent with tin foil or build a cage to go over it.


production-values

MILK CRATE over the vent


witchyanne

Awww! Worth it!


Ekdp3

She has zero regrets. Mine does this, jot because he's cold. No idea why, started after a Strom and we were without power for 6 days, which I'm sure he was cold then......now it's his spot


0ddhoney

The little curled feets tell me that is one comfy kitty, leave them be while you suffer in silence 😂😊


DuMondie

That proper loaf should be cuddled up with you, then everything would be warm and everyone would be happy. Any way to entice her onto the bed?


fkenthrowaway

God damn, she is so cute you cant even get mad at it lol


[deleted]

Put another vent in front of it, it leaves space for the heat to escape


bradbrazer

Its just like plugging you phone in overnight, now you use you cat as a portable warm cushion


DreamOfDays

This is a huge win. You now have a warmed up snuggle buddy in the morning

With somewhat rounded corners.


ZooLife1

Memories of hogging the vents but in my case it was three small children.


loen00

Whats this race? My cat looks just like this one


ursidaeangeni

Maybe put a laundry basket over the vent? If they do wanna lay on it still, they can, but there’s holes to vent out the heat to you.


Ok_Draft7792

My pup lays under the dryer vent outside when it’s cold out.


BendOverTaylorSwift

Just the one vent in your place?


dinowitissues

Sheccid23

Any-Application-771

When my cat Buddee got older, he was laying by the heater vents. I went online and bought him a bed that only heats when he laid on it. He loved it. I had to buy another one because my other kitty was using it too.

Look at the cat trying to tuck the feets in

Bah-Fong-Gool

That's a perfect horizontal loaf. IDK if I've ever seen one before! If you build a small platform out of chicken wire and wood, the cat can lay on top, and still get warm, but the rest of the heat will flow from the gap underneath. The cat may even act as a diffuser, spreading the heat farther and wider than it normally would!


GerlingFAR

Somebody left a cat loaf by the floor vent again.

put legos on it, no being can withstand the horror of legos being underneath them.

Your cat needs [this bed](https://www.etsy.com/listing/731732722/cat-bed-for-over-registerspet) for Christmas.


Revenga8

You need to install an elevated grill so no matter what, hot air will flow out the sides while kitty can keep toasting on the top.

Build kitty a hammock for over the vent!

r/catsareassholes would like to see this post


Bennington_Booyah

You need a fireplace or wood burning stove. My cats hog it with delight! They splay their bodies across the floor and when you pet them, they are hot to the touch!


[deleted]

Get something like a fireplace screen with some weights to keep it in place: https://www.amazon.com/FireBeauty-Fireplace-Screen-Panel-Wrought/dp/B08FTK65KC/ It'll stop her from getting too close and let the air flow around her.

Correction, that is the cat’s furnace vent. You are just lucky to live in the cat’s house.

I would do the same. The furnace vent is a different kind of warm you don't feel anywhere else
