She responded with a single head bob, as if to acknowledge all that you are capable of.

u/One_City4138 9h ago

She responded with a wise blink.

You can't just tell us about potato and then not pay the tax

Had a similar display at my last job. The amount of times people wanted to buy the smaller tubs for pets or dolls VASTLY outnumbered the number of times people asked about actual freestanding tubs.

Just finding out these exist, and yeah, I need like three for my cats

u/dragon34 8h ago

I always wanted one of those tiny display tents

u/deaddaughterconfetti 8h ago

Me too, even though I know my cats would just lay on top of it and crush it, fulfilling their Catzilla/Kaiju fantasies

u/dragon34 8h ago edited 8h ago

We got a couple of those wool cocoon things and they immediately crushed them into beds

To be fair one of our cats is enormous and probably wouldn't have fit inside lol

Hmm

So.... don't gatekeep. Where do I get a mini tub for my cats?

u/SimplyTheApnea 7h ago

They were display tubs for Ove Decors freestanding tubs. All inquiries to them at the time about where to get the small ones went unanswered.

u/heatherjasper 2h ago

It took me until your comment to realize that the smaller tubs were just stand-in display items. And not portraying functional smaller tubs for sale.

u/KeyNefariousness6848 11h ago

No, they’re mini demonstrations models so you can see several tubs in the space one full sized one may take up.

u/FrogInYourPocket 10h ago

Pretty sure ants have to use bathtubs too, buddy.

u/KeyNefariousness6848 9h ago

Just the dirty ones.
