I guess I don't understand what the point was. Yes... it was a fun story, but is that all there was to it?


Also, I can picture someone allergic to cats going in there the next morning and just keeling over.

I thought this was a marketing ploy for their next catalogue. I would love to have watched them try and catch all the cats when they were done.


No, I don't think I will fuck Stummies.

I wonder how much cat dook they had to clean off of Huppas and Kjoliks and Svernas and whatever other weirdly named furniture pieces they stock. Still, kittehs. Love kittehs.

Fun fact: After this experiment, the white furniture had a ton of black cat hairs, and the black furniture had a ton of white cat hairs.

The purple furniture? No hairs at all.

It boggles the mind.

Great, so when the dominant cats hoard the food and the weaker cats starve to death, IKEA can get sued by PETA.

Not if they then stop feeding the dominant cats and force them to start eating the carcasses of the dead ones.

There are so many things I want to do "just to see what happens". Does that make me a sociopath? Because experts say it does.

I guess this means that when I buy a house, my furniture is going to be Joker Green and Purple

More video: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/sep/09/ikea-ad-cats

Apparently the recorded footage is all part of a long-term ad campaign.

I support this ad campaign. Anyone remember IKEA's last television ad campaign? It was terrible. People would be admiring their IKEA furniture or sleeping in an IKEA bed and an elderly black lady who they apparently couldn't see would say something creepy like "Oooh chile, you're gonna sleep good tonight!"
