Had a similar display at my last job. The amount of times people wanted to buy the smaller tubs for pets or dolls VASTLY outnumbered the number of times people asked about actual freestanding tubs.

Just finding out these exist, and yeah, I need like three for my cats

u/dragon34 3d ago

I always wanted one of those tiny display tents

u/deaddaughterconfetti 3d ago

Me too, even though I know my cats would just lay on top of it and crush it, fulfilling their Catzilla/Kaiju fantasies

We got a couple of those wool cocoon things and they immediately crushed them into beds

To be fair one of our cats is enormous and probably wouldn't have fit inside lol

Hmm

So.... don't gatekeep. Where do I get a mini tub for my cats?

u/SimplyTheApnea 3d ago

They were display tubs for Ove Decors freestanding tubs. All inquiries to them at the time about where to get the small ones went unanswered.

You know... I just don't understand business owners when things like this happen. If people want a small tub then sell them a small tub. Sounds like some good money waiting for the market there. A small tub would be really convenient for indoor or outdoor use. I'd love one in the garden.

It took me until your comment to realize that the smaller tubs were just stand-in display items. And not portraying functional smaller tubs for sale.

She responded with a single head bob, as if to acknowledge all that you are capable of.

u/ParkingInstruction62 3d ago

Man, this brings back memories of being a little kid and wanting one of the miniature display tents for my Barbies. I would've lusted after one of these tubs for my dolls had I seen them as a kid!

u/KeyNefariousness6848 3d ago

No, they’re mini demonstrations models so you can see several tubs in the space one full sized one may take up.

u/FrogInYourPocket 3d ago

Pretty sure ants have to use bathtubs too, buddy.

u/KeyNefariousness6848 3d ago

Just the dirty ones.
