Forward, pounce!

Cats have gone armored in their bid for world domination. And with their human minions manufacturing rolling artillery for them, felines will soon hold every heart captive from inside their cardboard tanks.

With coronavirus distancing still in place, people are falling to boredom. But thanks to creativity, some tape, and delivery boxes, cat parents have found the silliest of ways to keep pressing forward. And their cats are loving them for it. Especially since it furthers their mission to take over.

Mittens is one such cat who approves of her cardboard tank. She took right to it, meowing a battle cry as she eyed the horizon ahead!

Her dad, Garry Stevenson, took to Instagram to show off the newly-made cardboard weaponry. “‪We made the cat a tank today. I think she likes it.”

Garry told Bored Panda the idea for the cardboard cat tank came from a Facebook share some time ago. He wanted to build one but lacked the time. Lately, time seems to be something many of us have and it gave Garry an opportunity to get crafty with cardboard. His 3 hours of building was worth every minute as Mittens loved her tank.

And Garry isn’t the only cat parent constructing cardboard tanks for the feline overlords. A quick search of #cattank reveals a rather large rank of cats ready to roll forward with their cuteness domination.
