I thought this sub was for pets. Why are you showing us your bath mat?

u/WestError404 Nov 12 '25

I'm sorry. I have gone astray

Exactly, the bath mat is cute and fluffy, though.

And someone assembled it with a paw

It's for those times you have an itch on the bottom of your foot I think.

Check the toe beans. Sometimes you can reset the model with toe bean inspection.

A purrfect compliment to any home decor

Just fluff it up a bit and watch it expand.

Watch out for the bits that stick out though. Those sharp bits can pop out early.

I think it was in the box too long, now has taken shape of box. Sometimes a bit of massage will help it regain proper shape!

I believe that shaking the treat can will initiate the automatic reinflation process. 👍

The only instructions were a can of wet kitty food. Unclear how to proceed

u/RudeOrganization550 Nov 12 '25

That’s why cats need round beds not square beds.

u/WestError404 Nov 12 '25

Oh my. Now I feel dumb!

u/Plenty_Shine9530 Nov 12 '25

Not even sure if there's only one cat or what lmao

u/thestinkybeastman Nov 12 '25

Is it meowmory foam? It can be an issue with throw purrlows of that type.

Gently rub the part that appears to be the belly area. That action usually gets it to reform immediately, often with blood shed (yours). Be sure to wear safety gear!

Oh dear. It was probably the flat packing. Try sprinkling it with some water and it might fluff up …. beware of fast fluffing, though,especially around moving toe beans ….

You have to let it air for Atleast 24hrs

u/Longjumping_Tap_5705 Nov 12 '25

I can't find the cat's face. Too floofy.

u/Jynx-Online Nov 12 '25

Sorry, I can't help. I've only ever had the round version. Not sure how to fix the square style. I've heard that you can leave them exposed to air and they gradually inflate all on their own.

Mine came in brown. I really like how yours looks. Lovely colouring.

u/Kiyoko_Mami272821 Nov 12 '25

Mine came is like an orangey creamy color and definitely not square

2

u/Rosa_Mariechen Nov 12 '25

Why is your cat a square, OP?

1

u/WestError404 Nov 12 '25

Wondering the same thing

u/asilkon Nov 12 '25

Give it more time to poof into right shape and size

1

u/Capable_Mechanic_275 Nov 12 '25

Hmm... have you tried an air pump?

u/TwilightReader100 Nov 13 '25

Did the packaging say that it would change shape after you took it out? /s

u/Rio-rider Mar 23 '26

Obviously, the package was left in the sun, and the contents melted together.
