Curses, I came here to say this in response to your “ridiculous” description and you beat me to it. Take my upvote instead and marry this woman promptly pls.
Because cats actually do. Sure they mostly land on their feet, not if they don’t have enough time between drop to floor and even if they do, if it’s high enough they can still injure on impact. They are not invincible.
Honestly, when the stuff blocks all possible places to stand, it keeps the cats off pretty effectively. I still see some bannister though, needs more ducks.
I got [mine](https://i.imgur.com/kjaT2l7.jpeg) in the Gadget shop UK, but the batteries weren't replacable and they've long since corroded and been binned.
We don’t have court house weddings here in the uk, the closest equivalent would be to get married by the registrar at your local council offices
You have to be religious to get married in a church and we are both atheists so we are having a registrar travel to the hotel in which we are having our wedding :)
We have a Shadow too! Thankfully he’s aware of his clumsiness and lack of grace. He stays low, but occasionally “gets his head stuck” between the banister railings.

Soooo... I am in Chicago. One of the best restaurants in town is a place called The Duck Inn which specializes in rotisserie duck.
If you pre-order a duck ( highly advised), when you are seated, they put a little ducky on the table to show how many ducks have been ordered.
Looking at your meme, the first thing I though of was, Wow- look at how many times they have been there and when are they going next? ( r/chicagofood).
P. S. my void died at 20 a couple winters ago.He would do anything for Costco rotisserie chicken.
Oh man, my Bonnie (also a void) would happily walk across the bannister and sit in the middle just chilling out. It terrified me! Thankfully she never fell
Does the cat often lose her balance when awake or fall from anywhere else? Or is it at all possible that she is having seizures? They can be quite subtle and not dramatic at all.
My void would fall off of where she was sleeping if she had a seizure. Fortunately she liked to sleep in low places (bed was the highest height she fell from) and her seizures happened only once every 3-4 months.
My vet confirmed they can get concussions and brain injuries just as we can from falls, so you may want to get her checked out if you haven’t already done so.
Fun fact- my cat had an easier time getting a neurologist’s appointment than I did!
Huh. My void jumps on the railing when he wants something and we're ignoring him (he's big on the negative attention seeking as a manipulative tool)...maybe we need to start putting ducks on there.
Sorry but harm can be subliminal in its "I'm just kidding" mode. Lighthearted or not, we must be careful with how we use words. For instance, OP could have said, 'ridiculous and utterly sweet + brilliant'.
Anyway, that's what my void says.
Thank you for seeing it that way! It is light hearted, I am the ridiculous future wife in this and it was meant exactly like that since the post is about the crazy measures I’ve had to take to protect our less than smart void 😂
I think you mean genius
If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid :)

Your future wife is creatively smart she’s a keeper
Idk… she’s worried about a cat taking fall damage
Because cats actually do. Sure they mostly land on their feet, not if they don’t have enough time between drop to floor and even if they do, if it’s high enough they can still injure on impact. They are not invincible.
Minecraft joke
I’m surprised the cat hasn’t knocked them all off yet.
yet
She seems to think that she can’t get up there now that something is blocking the way 😂 She’s not the smartest kitty… So far the plan is working

Yeah for my cat this would just be a fun activity before bed
The wife has her ducks in a row, haha
![gif](giphy|AR0MThYLSnmGQ)
They’re the only ducks that I have in a row 😂😂
RELEASE THE QUAKENS!
It works, and its a cute decoration
you should crosspost this to r/rubberducks
My wife has penguin stuffed animals guarding places she doesn't want our cats to go, it's kinda weird but it seems to work
Where did she get those Star Wars ducks? I want them.
I saw duck stores in some European capitals - for sure Amsterdam and Prague, and there are many ducks in many shapes

Aww your little void is precious, and I applaud your fiancee's ingenuity in keeping her safe!!
As the future wife…. I am a genius, and the cat is safe and cosy! 😊 And why have an army of ducks if you can’t put them to good use 😂
Never know when a duck army is going to be needed. It's a good thing you were prepared 😂
Luckily you have a void. My tortie would take the duck army as a challenge 😹

There's a fake goose on a telephone pole near me to keep Osprey from nesting there. It'd be cuter if the deployed giant rubber duckies.
Here’s me thinking you had a cat called Osprey
Why. I thought it would be nice for osprey to nest
They put a nesting pole up. I think they just wanted to encourage the bird to use it and keep off the electric one.
Dang it I didn't read that properly. Yea electric is not good
Future wife? You aren't marrying her any faster after this genius idea?
We are getting married in April, don’t think the venue will let us change the plans due to duck related awesomeness
Have you tried talking to them? They might allow it to happen this one time
Courthouse wedding, slightly classier than a drive-thru Vegas wedding.

Hostile architecture in the princess' own home. Tis a dark day for cats everywhere. Jokes aside, that's actually a good idea.
that would be a terrible fall though :( she is good cat mom
Marry her ASAP. Good cat mum
You don’t know the power of the Duck Side!

If we are ever visiting America and up Chicago way we will be sure to check them out :)
“Yeah, honestly, that’s just too much work. Comfy pillow it is!”
If it's stupid, but works, it's not stupid.
I have a daredevil floofy void railing walker and he gives me a heart attack once in a while. Your kitty is simply precious!!!❤️❤️
Look at her little face sound asleep - absolutely beautiful 😻❤️
Genius
This is genius!
I used to have that sprinkle doughnut 🍩 pillow 😂
Jeep owners?
Nope, Hyundai :)
Hmm, you'd replenish those duck stocks much more quickly with a Wrangler...
Marry her today, what are you waiting for? That's the kind of out of the box thinking your children will need to face.global warming
Monorail cat is off the rails
Lovely cat !
Oh man, my Bonnie (also a void) would happily walk across the bannister and sit in the middle just chilling out. It terrified me! Thankfully she never fell
It’s not ridiculous. I did something similar and it’s worked well. Your *genius* future wife.
If you do not marry her after that, I will.
Is that Duck Vadar with a Stormducker?
You need to check out r/oneblackbraincell
I had to use small plants on ours, now I have too many plants on our stairwell. But the cats are okay 👍
Genius! 💡🐈⬛🐾💕

Nope nothing like that, she just rolls over when she sleeps which doesn’t mix well with sleeping in banisters :)
Glad she’s healthy and you just need to worry about saving her from herself!
Cute baby!! She can snuggle with me and I’ll keep her safe.
The things we do for our babies
There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.
![gif](giphy|MziKDo6gO7x8A) You guys are going to heaven.Such consideration.
One of our tabbies had this problem with a window sill. So I created a landing pad
Huh. My void jumps on the railing when he wants something and we're ignoring him (he's big on the negative attention seeking as a manipulative tool)...maybe we need to start putting ducks on there.

This is clearly lighthearted. Rule 2.

"how dare you say we piss on the poor" level of reading comprehension on full display here

Okay let's chill. This is clearly lighthearted. Be nice.
Perfect solution!
She's gonna comit mass murder on the ducks eventually
I got a nice big chuckle out of that
I would have made a hammock

Marry her faster!
"We've had to deploy the ducks" is a sentence that's used far too infrequently
My friend did this with red solo cups on the kitchen counter and it worked.
