What Happens When You Let 100 Cats Loose Inside An IKEA?

Posted by samzenpus on from the we're-gonna-need-bigger-lint-brush dept.

In a perfect mix of Lolcats and viral marketing IKEA recently let 100 cats loose in one of their stores. The idea behind the commercial is that the cats would naturally seek out the most comfortable furniture. I can't wait until they try this with badgers.

    As I type this my cat, dissatisfied with my lap and boring flat desk top area, has recently chosen to lay down partially on my desk and partially on my printer output tray. The plastic bits are oddly shaped and flexing under the weight of his fat a$$, but he seems quite content.

    Following his lead, and the idea of this article, I think I'm going to contact HP and buy a large format printer to replace the couch in my living room.

    "the cats would naturally seek out the most comfortable furniture" suggests they all will escape and go to places with REAL furniture?
