This book exists for a reason....

Yea, so I accidentally locked one of my cats in a safe overnight. Cat was fine next day, but cat urine eats thru Bluing...FYI

Damn, they really outed my hiding spot

Cats yearn for the firearms
sporknitebattlepass@reddit
My cats love my guns. If I leave my riflebag open, invariably there will be a cat. Stripping and cleaning? Cat wants to sniff the parts. Anything to do with a laser? You already know.

So that's what these signs mean. Check the safe to make sure the cat is in it, before you close it, so it won't bother you while you're working on the guns.
Secret_Towel1968@reddit (OP)
Make sure you check the safe before closing it š
NiftyFiftyBMG@reddit
Dude your cat will just smash through the damn door
sickmak90@reddit
My cat disappeared for three days once. Then I remembered that I had to get into my enclosed box trailer three days ago. The cat was inside the trailer. Luckily she was fine.
Ok_Display7459@reddit
Explicit signage implies that the cat has been locked in the safe at least once

Behind every dumb sign, is an even dumber lawsuit, from an even dumber person.
TacosNGuns@reddit
I have sued and been sued. Often civil court is necessary to resolve very real issues. Like the time a family member sued to divide a family property in a way that devoured them and lost. Or the time my kid was hit by a driver who lied to police about the circumstances.
AlphaTangoFoxtrt@reddit
I'm not saying every lawsuit is dumb. I am saying the reason for a lot of the "Well duh?" signs is BECAUSE of a lawsuit.
Like... no fucking shit? It's GUNPOWDER. Of course it's flammable and explosive. But I'm willing to bet there is a lawsuit somewhere, from someone suing a gunpowder company for not telling them gunpowder is flammable/explosive.

Caution: Coffee is hot
AlphaTangoFoxtrt@reddit
Ok, but that one wasn't a dumb lawsuit. McDonalds was serving their coffee at unsafe levels of hot. Hot enough to give someone third degree burns in 5 seconds. And they had settled numerous injury lawsuits so they KNEW it was unsafe.
McDonald's tried to smear the poor lady.
seaburno@reddit
And she offered to settle before trial for far less than was awarded at trial.
AlphaTangoFoxtrt@reddit
Originally she just wanted her medical costs covered. I believe she tried to settle numerous times but McDonald's refused. Until they made a last ditch attempt but by then it was clear she was winning to she told McD's to shove it.
archer2500@reddit
A guy I served with in the Marines told me that their cat ran out of the house and disappeared when the movers were packing their house up for a move from NC to CA.
Until they were unpacking in CA and noticed an awful smell. The cat loved to jump into open drawers and apparently got closed up in a dresser that was wrapped up and loaded into the moving truck.
Strong_Dentist_7561@reddit
Didā¦ did the cat live ?
archer2500@reddit
Not exactly.
Strong_Dentist_7561@reddit
Aww. Is saddening
400HPMustang@reddit
It was alive until they opens the drawer.
Strong_Dentist_7561@reddit

archer2500@reddit
Accurate!

TheCivilEngineer@reddit
Havenāt we all made this mistake at least once?
PHNX_xRapTor@reddit
I work for a sporting goods store and we had a 6' college kid lock himself in one. Naturally the safe wouldn't open back up so we had to call the FD.
spank_the_tank@reddit
You know that person thought: āI havenāt seen the cat in awhileā and then spent an hour looking everywhere for the little guy.
Unicorn187@reddit
If there's a Goldenrod or similar, I could see it happening, especially if the shelves are also carpeted.

I donāt have a cat but now I have a desire to put that label on my safe.
RepulsiveUse3372@reddit
My adult cat used to love going in there till he died, some asshole ran em over
Secret_Towel1968@reddit (OP)
Truly sorry to hear that brother
Monk-E_321@reddit
Shit, he would've been safer in the safe
DoPewPew@reddit
Iād love to hear the backstory
GaGuRoShoMo@reddit
Not a cat owner, eh?
Cat goes in, you don't notice and close the safe. Some safes are incredibly sound proof, so you may not hear them instantly. Hours later, you start looking for the cat, before finally checking the gun safe. Or you hear the faint cries for help, but can't quite pinpoint the location, until....
DoPewPew@reddit
My daughter has 2 cats. Iām more interested to hear the backstory if perhaps a cat was locked in the cabinet. Iām well aware of their behavior
DeedleGuy@reddit
That's pretty funny because I had a magnet made that says something very similar. because my goofy little orange every time she hears the beep beep beep beep she just comes running and knows that as soon as I open it she's going to shoot in there
gnartato@reddit
Locked a cat in onece. I very I time to them and when ones goes missing. It was a nice 3 or 4 hour nap. They were very annoyed by the light when I opened the door.Ā
GaGuRoShoMo@reddit
Oh, I can relate. š
TemperReformanda@reddit
Just bought my first gun case a couple months ago and I definitely have to check it any time I close it.
SquareRelationship27@reddit
Schroedinger is that you?
aggie113@reddit
I mean, if you have a golden rod, the cat will Love the interior warmth :)
flyingcaveman@reddit
Or just make sure to have a lot of dessicant.
ElvisDumbledore@reddit
The picture makes it look like there is a button labeled "CHECK GUN SAFE FOR CAT" which makes me wonder what happens when the button is pressed.
alphawhiskey189@reddit
Probably plays a recording of a tuna can being opened.
roncadillacisfrickin@reddit
as there as two signs, itās possible the furry asshole had a second eventā¦fucker did it again, better add another signā¦
dutifullypurple@reddit
THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME my poor girl spent like 5 hours in there and then emerged absolutely fine and frankly annoyed I had interrupted her nap. I was scared as hell and she was totally fine
3006mv@reddit
Everyone I open my safe my dumb orange cat comes by to use my wooden rifle stocks as a scratching post.
Glum-One2514@reddit
TJM18@reddit
Have cat. Can confirm.
TacosNGuns@reddit
One wonders? How many were lost (and for how long) before they added this reminder.
Brilliant_Ant_4630@reddit
I have four catsā¦ it is imperative the cat remain outside the gun safe. I will admit the soft interior would be very enticing for a cat
NotSafeForWalletXJ@reddit
It is imperative that the car remains unharmed.
Parktio@reddit
Hydro-Sapien@reddit
Hope they have labels on the inside door frame as well. Easier to get the cat out before spinning the dial.
Uptight_Internet_Man@reddit
Can confirm
A cramped space that has 3 sides and foam? They love that shit
Kugelfischer_47@reddit
Until you open the box, the cat technically both inside it and not inside it.

melaflander34@reddit
I've legit done this and my wife made a magnet for me.
Damn you Gus Gus for sneaking in my safe. Glad we did a cat check before leaving for the day.
The fucker did poop in my reloading media once though. May have been payback.
Late_Requirement_971@reddit
Definitely appropriate for r/gatcat
RepulsiveUse3372@reddit
i got 5 fuckin kittens, 3 go in the gun safe and of course one of them is the black one so she hides by my MP5 lol the others are dark so they try to blend in, luckily the momma cat is white so she sticks out
Tomasen-Shen@reddit
Happened to me onceš.
NinjaBuddha13@reddit
There were a series of posts not too long ago where multiple people were needing to ask about how to recover firearms that has been covered in cat piss for a long time. Turns out this is a common problem and cats yearn for small arms. Apparently they make good toilets.
Leptonshavenocolor@reddit
Mine has yet to do that, but considering how many times they end up shut inside a closet-Iām not surprised.Ā
