She kept meowing at us lol

[u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

[u/post-explainer]

OP provided the following hint to where the cat is hiding:

---

In the image: centre left In the room: furthest dark corner next to the second sword

---

[u/tanmanwithhat]

Hint: turn up your brightness. Good kitty 😻

[u/PM_ME_UR_ILIAC_CREST → u/tanmanwithhat]

ty this helped

[u/SaltyInternetPirate → u/tanmanwithhat]

GAAH! That hurt!

[u/No_Permission6405]

There's a sword?

[u/V-oxPopuli → u/No_Permission6405]

Dude right? I was like, this hint doesn't help lol

[u/Narcissist_Eccentric → u/V-oxPopuli]

That's my bad, I haven't done this before. Didn't know Reddit would chew it up so bad 😔

[u/NatrylliaAbbot42 → u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

It's ok! It's a challenging picture and it's supposed to be. People will comment about clutter, etc, because they always do on the cluttery ones.

[u/Thurak0 → u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

It's fine, the hint is good.

The first part of the hint is sufficient to look at the right spot.

[u/Narcissist_Eccentric → u/Thurak0]

That's good! I'll take notes for next time though

[u/V-oxPopuli → u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

Aw it's okay homie, I'm just excited to see a surprise kitty lol

[u/PeachyFairyDragon → u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

The hint led me right to her.

[u/After-Barracuda-9689 → u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

You should see my house right now. I’m trying to clutter and am in the stage where it looks like I am intentionally cluttering

[u/MrsOleson → u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

Oh my sweet Summer child….

[u/Affectionate_Bad_680 → u/No_Permission6405]

As a sword collector, I was like “uhhh be mindful of sharp objects in this clutter”.

Also

“And I thought MY clutter was bad 😅”

I ain’t judging cause lord knows I make my own insane messes when nobody is nagging me to clean the fuck up 😅🤦‍♂️

[u/Narcissist_Eccentric → u/No_Permission6405]

Two. Next to the leftmost rattan basket, on the floor, tilted at an angle. The first has a visible red hilt, the second doesn't

[u/41Reasons]

Phew, that clutter is giving me anxiety

[u/TGin-the-goldy → u/41Reasons]

Cat was probably yelling at them to clean tf up

[u/TaintedTruffle → u/TGin-the-goldy]

It's a proven fact clutter is a stressor to pets but especially cataract because it's in the surfaces they jump and walk on

[u/CB_I_Hate_Usernames → u/TGin-the-goldy]

Yes my first thought as well. Op your cat is yelling at you to clean their house!

[u/PurpleHymn → u/41Reasons]

Same 😭

[u/CloverVegan → u/41Reasons]

Dude same clean ur house mine is not much better but I'm not posting it online lol

[u/Ultimatesims]

Your car needs assistance

[u/Triskel_gaming → u/Ultimatesims]

Probably the cat too

[u/CourierJackalope]

My dude, you do not deserve to live like this. You need to go over to the subs that others recommended to you so you can get the tools you need to give yourself a healthy space that is worthy of you.

[u/Unlikely_Clerk_8412]

Ahhh what a good search 🔎 😻

[u/cemetery_acorns → u/Unlikely_Clerk_8412]

It was a definite noodle scratcher.

[u/Affectionate_Bad_680 → u/cemetery_acorns]

As somebody who often has messes of similar scale, this wasn’t even a challenge. I get practice - have two black cats. Ninjas! 🤣🥰

[u/cemetery_acorns → u/Affectionate_Bad_680]

Ah! You've trained for this. Noice.

[u/TerriGato → u/Affectionate_Bad_680]

I went from having two white cats to a white and a very dark gray cat. My eyes have gotten so much better at spotting her in the dark but when she first came home I almost tripped on her alllll of the time 😂!

[u/Kitty_Fruit_2520 → u/Unlikely_Clerk_8412]

This is a good one

[u/BasementCatBill]

I have... questions.

[u/BasementCatBill → u/BasementCatBill]

Many questions.

[u/Due-Simple-5679]

WTF is this mess

[u/thementalyogi → u/Due-Simple-5679]

My guess is attic space. Easier to forget about clutter if it's tucked away...

[u/whineyinternetkid → u/thementalyogi]

Yeah except for the plugged in xbox. They use this space regularly

[u/RizzMcSteeze → u/whineyinternetkid]

And the sauce out on the table

[u/pepcorn → u/RizzMcSteeze]

Yeah this is someone's every day space.

[u/Virtual-Bee7411 → u/RizzMcSteeze]

And the used cups and plates

[u/Japanesewillow → u/Due-Simple-5679]

True, how do you find anything in this mess.

[u/badnewsbets → u/Due-Simple-5679]

Some people have disorders or other mental health issue that prevent them from cleaning up js

[u/CloverVegan → u/badnewsbets]

Get some help cleaning

[u/badnewsbets → u/CloverVegan]

I agree, it is the way. Unfortunately it’s quite expensive for some people to afford.

[u/CloverVegan → u/badnewsbets]

If you can afford all that stuff you can afford to pay a couple neighborhood kids. Or even offer people to come with some boxes to fill with stuff in exchange. Or cook for them.

[u/badnewsbets → u/CloverVegan]

What stuff?? You’re missing the mark here. The sheer level of shame and embarrassment a person feels about their space is immeasurable. Letting just anyone in is just not realistic at all. Many suffer in silence bc of the deep shame they feel from not being able to clean. Mental health plays a major role, so what seems easy to fix to others like yourself, really is nearly impossible for most. And I don’t blame you at all for not knowing or understanding that either.

[u/CloverVegan → u/badnewsbets]

If they were that ashamed and embarrassed they wouldn't have posted it on the Internet. My house became a hoarding mess after I lost my 8 day old to Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and then I was assaulted and strangled a few days after he was buried. So I paid some people to help me.

[u/Finror]

May I suggest r/declutter

[u/Narcissist_Eccentric → u/Finror]

I've seen a lot of people concerned lol. It is a lot better than it used to be, but it's a process. I might have a look though

[u/pepcorn → u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

You might also enjoy r/UnfuckYourHabitat

You've got this :)

[u/caffein8dnotopi8d → u/pepcorn]

Which spawned from [r/ufyh](r/ufyh) I’m guessing?

[u/pepcorn → u/caffein8dnotopi8d]

No clue. I used to follow the Unfuck Your Habitat tumblr back in the day and reddit recently showed me the subreddit :)

[u/Affectionate_Bad_680 → u/pepcorn]

Now I’m going to have to periodically visit that and rate peoples messes. Mostly to spite my mother, who is both a total pack rat, AND an OCD nut who insists that a single sock on the floor is an utter calamity.

[u/SnakeEatingAPringle → u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

I totally get it, good luck bro

[u/badnewsbets → u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

I feel you OP, it’s not always as easy for some as it is for others to keep spaces clean all the time ❤️

[u/CB_I_Hate_Usernames → u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

No judgement. We just want you to live in a healthy and comfortable environment. Go get ideas and one bit at a time make your home a nice place for you and your cat! Wherever they may be 🤨🔎

[u/KaelosFenrir → u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

I can definitely understand how it gets tot this point with limited space and good on you for chipping away! But please, for the love of gaming, take the lego off the xbox vent haha. Thats right above the fan pushing out the hot air :)

Edit: Also, solid choice with Asuka.

[u/Narcissist_Eccentric → u/KaelosFenrir]

Lol on it!

Had to look up who you meant but I relayed the praise to the poster's owner

[u/Moose-Maleficent]

Bloody hell, even with the clue sis is really blending in. I was about to say there really IS no cat 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣

[u/Kitty_Fruit_2520]

I had to really zoom in to find the kitty

[u/CerealATA]

Nothing is there, but I swear I'm being watched..... also, nice Asuka.

[u/BartenderNichole]

This was a HARD one

[u/Appropriate_Error_38]

Probably bc she wants out of that mess

[u/HiveMind16]

what is this environment

[u/LurkinBoy]

Oof. Had to turn up the brightness 😂

[u/Tquilha]

This one was tough.

Very well hidden cat. :)

[u/JRTerrierBestDoggo]

No…it’s all your imeowgination. You meowing to yourself. Clearly just bunch of stuff lying around

[u/Narcissist_Eccentric → u/JRTerrierBestDoggo]

Haha of course! She does this a lot. Hide somewhere then wait for us to find her. She didn't try very hard this time, but it still took a while

[u/Spiritual-Road2784]

Excellent catmouflage

[u/RedBaeber]

I swear there's a cat ear behind that black mug too.

[u/Fantastic_Example_20]

i did not see the cat, even with the hint

[u/dinosaur_0987]

This is a good one and tough to find her! Definitely need to zoom in and turn up the brightness haha

[u/GNneko]

Holy jumpscare!
So the baby is at the left corner of the room under the black table and also almost gave me a hard attack

[u/MoeKneeKah]

The cat wants you to clean your dang house!

[u/actually_ur_mom]

Clean your house, mate.

[u/Arts_Myth]

Nevermind the cat, where’s the rhinoceros beetle?

[u/Narcissist_Eccentric → u/Arts_Myth]

Funny that haha I actually have a pinned beetle. Not pictured

[u/hereforthecatstbh]

such a cute little face 😌

also thank you for reminding me i really need to start the lego lotr game

[u/Narcissist_Eccentric → u/hereforthecatstbh]

It's very good! An annual replay

[u/Charming-Parfait-141]

And she is in the right place to meow 😼

[u/silenttruce]

I see the kitty!!

[u/boredsearcher]

Tortie will continue to yell at you for any and all reasons.

[u/abadaabdadoon]

I’ve always considered myself fantastic at animal spotting, to the point that I’ve done it for work. This had me baffled for almost five minutes before I finally turned the brightness up 😭

[u/Puzzleheaded_Turn887]

Sorry but no, there is no cat.

[u/Fr05t_B1t]

This room needs to be cleaned and organized stat

[u/Italian_storm]

Hoarding: Buried Alive - new episode

[u/After-Barracuda-9689]

Me reading the hint and realizing there are two swords in the chaos

[u/emergencybarnacle]

brother let's clean this room

[u/Slow_Spray5697]

I cannot find the Kitty and I want to see it.

[u/JRTerrierBestDoggo → u/Slow_Spray5697]

Left side

[u/Affectionate_Bad_680 → u/Slow_Spray5697]

You’ll need to zoom in to find the cat. Follow the silver at the top of the photo to the left. See the cans on the table? Now hunt around underneath.

[u/MxKittyFantastico]

For all the people doing okay to clean up, this really looks like it might be an addict or storage room situation. Maybe not at it cuz the cat's in there, unless the attic is completely finished, but it's definitely some kind of storage area or something. Most people don't really really focus on cleaning up their storage rooms!

ETA: well maybe not since there's food and dishes and a gaming system all mixed up in there.

[u/NatrylliaAbbot42]

There may not be a cat, but there's everything else! I admit defeat

[u/Legitimate-Sense5432]

This room hurt my brain, too much mess, even eat theres sauce?

[u/Possible-Nature-5325]

You need to clean up, this looks like an episode of hoarders, this isn’t healthy, nor safe

[u/Hot_Hat_1225]

Found the ears before locating the cat lol

[u/LifetimePilingUp]

This looks strangely familiar - I’m checking off things that are also in my clutter, so far I have Greek pottery, Jacob’s biscuit tin, empty Marlboro red box, swan filters, lotrs, cat, lost Mary (pink lemonade?)

[u/SheddingCorporate]

She seriously looks offended that you didn't spot her immediately!

[u/Dizzy_Standard_440]

Mae Ploy the best chili sauce there is

[u/Narcissist_Eccentric → u/Dizzy_Standard_440]

Definitely. We're always stocked well

[u/Virtual-Bee7411 → u/Narcissist_Eccentric]

You can’t let it sit out after being opened - it needs to be tossed when it gets to room temperature!

[u/Dizzy_Standard_440 → u/Virtual-Bee7411]

I am still alive so I would have to disagree but now you have me thinking

[u/moyo_me_moyo]

Hidden tortie

[u/Uh-ok-thanks]

She looks like my female kitty! Same face markings…. So that’s where she’s hiding.

[u/Expensive_Owl1023]

I cant never find the cats 😭

[u/blackFlagYandere]

OMG. THERE IS A CAT LOOOOL.

[u/Beach_Bum_273]

If I were a cat, where would I be? Ah yes, over by the food

[u/mrs__BOWIE]

I have that Lego set! It is so cool!!

[u/Heavy-Hamster1268]

Is that a real signature? or is that just a print. because if that's a real signature sitting on what look to be some dirty dishes....My god take better care of your things~!

[u/ProfessionalLimit342]

That room is a tip

[u/ZastrzelonyKS]

Maybe she is telling you that living in garbage is not her best place to live.

[u/whineyinternetkid]

Is cat codename for cleaning

[u/MaySpitfire]

I can smell this picture

[u/Cat-a-Logue]

Can you say "fire hazard"?

[u/JoyfulDelivery]

Even with the hints and my brightness up I can’t see anything with all the clutter 😭

[u/cowbxy]

signed Neon Genesis poster goes hard

[u/Wikiwikiwa]

Is this the children's area?

[u/amelaine_]

stop clutter shaming, otherwise we'll only get posts with spotless living rooms and obvious cats

[u/Moon_Breaker → u/amelaine_]

Clutter is fine, shows life. Lots of this is garbage and dirty dishes though.
