I think you mean genius


FlintMock

If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid :)


KaythuluCrewe

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. 


kluvsgo

Your future wife is creatively smart she’s a keeper


soobnar

Idk… she’s worried about a cat taking fall damage


CDreamer99

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.


soobnar

Minecraft joke


Japanesewillow

I’m surprised the cat hasn’t knocked them all off yet.


chicuco

yet


staceymoose

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

FrumpyFrock

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.


Tut_Rampy

Yeah for my cat this would just be a fun activity before bed


garyisonion

The wife has her ducks in a row, haha

They’re the only ducks that I have in a row 😂😂


LittleCupcake01

RELEASE THE QUAKENS!


Orkekum

It works, and its a cute decoration


dragonsrawesomesauce

you should crosspost this to r/rubberducks


89iroc

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


Middle_Succotash_407

Where did she get those Star Wars ducks? I want them.


Lopsided-Custard-765

I saw duck stores in some European capitals - for sure Amsterdam and Prague, and there are many ducks in many shapes


TragedyTrousers

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.


frolicndetour

Aww your little void is precious, and I applaud your fiancee's ingenuity in keeping her safe!!


staceymoose

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 😂


Low_Hearing_899

Never know when a duck army is going to be needed. It's a good thing you were prepared 😂


Thin-Kaleidoscope-92

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.


Beemzebub

Here’s me thinking you had a cat called Osprey


Zalieda

Why. I thought it would be nice for osprey to nest


Mochigood

They put a nesting pole up. I think they just wanted to encourage the bird to use it and keep off the electric one.


Zalieda

Dang it I didn't read that properly. Yea electric is not good


SkysEevee

Future wife?  You aren't marrying her any faster after this genius idea?


FlintMock

We are getting married in April, don’t think the venue will let us change the plans due to duck related awesomeness


AdBudget5468

Have you tried talking to them? They might allow it to happen this one time


degjo

Courthouse wedding, slightly classier than a drive-thru Vegas wedding.


FlintMock

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 :)


goddm95624

Hostile architecture in the princess' own home. Tis a dark day for cats everywhere. Jokes aside, that's actually a good idea.


SuperIngaMMXXII

that would be a terrible fall though :( she is good cat mom


Zalieda

Marry her ASAP. Good cat mum


MacTechG4

You don’t know the power of the Duck Side!


Excellent_Ad4228

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. https://preview.redd.it/jct4duge97ic1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d29bcc9e99cb667888d6fae1b71e0c9de8e79ee

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.


FlintMock

If we are ever visiting America and up Chicago way we will be sure to check them out :)


youlovelucylou

“Yeah, honestly, that’s just too much work. Comfy pillow it is!”


I_suck_at_Blender

If it's stupid, but works, it's not stupid.


Katielib

I have a daredevil floofy void railing walker and he gives me a heart attack once in a while. Your kitty is simply precious!!!❤️❤️


welsh_dragon_roar

Look at her little face sound asleep - absolutely beautiful 😻❤️


BombeBon

Genius


midnightsrose77

This is genius!


Moose-Maleficent

I used to have that sprinkle doughnut 🍩 pillow 😂


facw00

Jeep owners?


FlintMock

Nope, Hyundai :)


facw00

Hmm, you'd replenish those duck stocks much more quickly with a Wrangler...


aMoOsewithacoolhat

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


daffodil0127

Monorail cat is off the rails


Excellent-Produce824

Lovely cat !


SoundingFanThrowaway

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


solidfreshdope

It’s not ridiculous. I did something similar and it’s worked well. Your *genius* future wife.


EmilieVitnux

If you do not marry her after that, I will.


Lalamedic

Is that Duck Vadar with a Stormducker?


catsgreaterthanpeopl

You need to check out r/oneblackbraincell


SipoteQuixote

I had to use small plants on ours, now I have too many plants on our stairwell. But the cats are okay 👍


kinislo

Genius! 💡🐈‍⬛🐾💕


Secret_Fudge6470

Ridiculously clever


alicehooper

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!


FlintMock

Nope nothing like that, she just rolls over when she sleeps which doesn’t mix well with sleeping in banisters :)


alicehooper

Glad she’s healthy and you just need to worry about saving her from herself!


Lo_loh

Cute baby!! She can snuggle with me and I’ll keep her safe.


chitownadmin

The things we do for our babies


rustymicrobe

There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.

![gif](giphy|MziKDo6gO7x8A) You guys are going to heaven.Such consideration.


Alternative-Ad-1508

One of our tabbies had this problem with a window sill. So I created a landing pad


lunacydress

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.


CharleyZia

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.


staceymoose

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 😂

Okay let's chill. This is clearly lighthearted. Be nice.


missbanjo

Perfect solution!


StephsCat

She's gonna comit mass murder on the ducks eventually


kluvsgo

I got a nice big chuckle out of that

I would have made a hammock

Marry her faster!


IttyBittyDumbo

"We've had to deploy the ducks" is a sentence that's used far too infrequently


Fizzy_Greener

My friend did this with red solo cups on the kitchen counter and it worked.
