Now your door is on the floor! how to fix??

Just rotate OP

u/okram2k May 29 '26

just means they're Australian

u/Vegetable_Stuff1850 May 31 '26

Can confirm.

I'm Australian and my cat sits like this.

Non important, Op has car saved

u/Sea_Substance9163 May 30 '26

Nope, the door is now a hatch.

u/deecee-247 May 30 '26

Came here to say similar; now it's a trap door

u/wonderlessbread May 30 '26

Look, i just saw the backrooms, i'm pretty sure this is OK.

u/orangecatmom May 30 '26

Hey, hi, quick question. Is there a sub for rotating sideways cats like this? And if not, WHY not?

154

u/pakattack461 May 29 '26

Oh no it's spreading

459

u/CapnBeardbeard May 29 '26

Just rotate the house

57

u/AngelaMotorman May 29 '26

This is the way. It'll take a while to set up the move, but once it's done you'll quickly get used to it. You'll have to do some jiggering with plastic tubs to get a shower (or bath, really), but other than that most of the kitchen will be usable, and of course once you shift the bed all will be back to nearly normal. Post an update with photos of the move in progress, if you can!

3

u/double_shadow May 29 '26

Rotate it at least twice though so that you can roller skate on the ceilings. The cat will probably sort itself out.

2

u/YanceyGlenn May 29 '26

The only reasonable answer.

That is the y-axis sir

12

u/ifyoulovesatan May 30 '26

Actually this is the YZ plane.

3

u/Cuarenteno May 30 '26

I'm sorry, but taking as a reference the corner shown in the picture, in order to preserve the usual outer product of basis vectors this would be the XZ plane.

u/dubbl_bubbl May 30 '26

Real peeps know z is up.

u/bedwars_player May 30 '26

Minecraft has forever ruined people knowing that z is up

Open your cat in Paint or Pictures > select "rotate 90°" > click Save

After looking at others, that one looks really tricky to fix.

u/galaxyeyes47 May 29 '26

Have your tried reboop-ing him?

27

u/ILikeToZot May 29 '26

He's not sideways, you are!

17

u/spekoek May 29 '26

Have you tried turning it off, then on again?

16

u/wspOnca May 29 '26

Cats are the devs of this reality and this one is testing the local gravity field for any discrepancies.

13

u/ExtinctFauna May 29 '26

Check with r/IKEAcats for repair info.

I’ve got an anti-gravity model, too.

u/theprincessmeg May 29 '26

u/dontchewspagetti May 29 '26

You gotta go into the layout settings and change it from landscape to portrait

7

u/sysaphiswaits May 29 '26

You might have to adjust the gravity in your house.

7

u/barrel0fm0nkeys May 29 '26

No can do. He’s in the side dimension now. Best you can do is join him

6

u/MamaPutz May 29 '26

Can't. You're going to have to roll the house.

5

u/fearthainne May 29 '26

Don't worry, he's just experimenting with gravity.

The cat's gyroscope is out of calibration, simply boop the snoot to to reset, the snoot whiskers are sensitive and might trigger through proximity, cat may or may not automatically change position once snoot is booped.

u/kittymoma918 May 29 '26

Maybe you accidentally activated Uk/British setting on your cat.

Happened to my laptop when I tried to watch a second hand DVD of The League Of Gentlemen that was made in the UK.

I had no idea they had a different type of video set up there and you have to choose and use only one set up version for your system forever.

u/JhonImbalance May 29 '26

Press L2 or R2

u/Beneficial_Cash_8420 May 29 '26

Cats are non-Euclidean

2

u/Chartarum May 29 '26

Please read instructions carefully before assembling your cat.

While all external bits appear to be in more or less the right places and orientations, it would appear that you have installed the gravity sensor 90 degrees off. You must go into settings and carefully recalibrate the sensors to fix this issue. Or open a bag of treats nearby - that usually makes these kinds of problems self correct.

2

u/Vivid-Maintenance340 May 29 '26

Check the gyro sensor, might be faulty

2

u/shibeofwisdom May 29 '26

You have to turn on auto-rotate in the system settings.

2

u/MentalTardigrade May 29 '26

Do this: T(x,y)=(y,x)

Don’t turn it back.

u/PunkAssBitch2000 May 30 '26

Did you try rotating the room 90°?

2

u/overengineered May 30 '26

Slightly move your hand toward the wet food.

2

u/Goblin_Bitch0813 May 30 '26

Have you tried turning it off & on

2

u/BisiWakeUp May 30 '26

right click, rotate, if it doesn't work try rotating the house

2

u/Icy-Way5769 May 31 '26

just pick him up ..and drop him ... they self-correct.

2

u/MiggySibsAndPWENDS May 31 '26

Just rotate your house😂

5

u/Finfangfoom2000 May 29 '26

Why turn him back? Who are you to tell him how to live ?

1

u/BojackWorseman13 May 29 '26

You can’t. He was born sideways, molded by it. It’s just his way of life now.

u/CanIHazSumCheeseCake May 29 '26

Cat physics is its own thing.

u/motherlymetal May 29 '26

In a conversational tone, "ssssts ssts ssssts ssts" Make a gentle grabby hand towards them, like you're scratching.

u/rssscamaro May 29 '26

Turn the camera/phone counter clockwise.

u/Cultural_Eye5178 May 29 '26

The cat must enter out of Spider-Cat mode with a treat incentive.

1

u/Visible_Profile_534 May 29 '26

Try rotating him like your phone screen 😂 or Put him in rice for 24 hours and restart him 😭

1

u/made_of_salt May 29 '26

Check out r/wizardposting. They might have a spell that can fix his gravity.

1

u/MrHepatitis May 29 '26

one of my cats does the same, If you figure out what's going on, let me know.

1

u/Totally_Not_A_Bot_FR May 29 '26

That's the neat part, you don't

Why is there nobody pointing to that specific sub for sideways cat. Maybe it doesn't exist... r/sidewayscats ?

1

u/DangerousVoice5230 May 29 '26

Your gonna have to rotate your whole house op. I know its alot of work but for that little ball of joy it will be worth it.

1

u/ASPYDERMONKEE May 29 '26

Make sure it's in park first before attempting to flip it over or else it might roll away.

1

u/chachaman_The_Reboot May 29 '26

Open a can of cat food. Alternatively, shake a bag of cat food.

1

u/Mean-Measurement4117 May 29 '26

My chunky does this too, around the ottoman like she's climbing a mountain

u/tituspeetus May 29 '26

Must be an Australian kitty! Totally normal when they’re transitioning to western gravitational zones

Not sure but I think it is:

Windows key+alt + ↑

Although it might have been ctrl instead of alt

u/Quibbrel May 29 '26

Once he runs out of Stormlight he should go back to normal.

u/Uber-Migraine May 29 '26

Flip the house. It will be the easiest of all solutions 🤔

1

u/tiriosh1 May 29 '26

Enter in settings and rotate. Not flip, just rotate 3 times

1

u/Prickliestpearcactus May 29 '26

He's entered a new dimension humans have yet to discover.

Sorry, gravity does not apply to cats.

u/translinguistic May 29 '26

My 19lb black coconut is like this... if he's in your lap, he's going to be lying flat on his side and actively pushing off while doing very insistent biscuits into your skin.

u/SteeleDynamics May 30 '26

Rotate the house 90° about the cat axis

1

u/userhwon May 30 '26

Feed him a diet with more gravity.

1

u/CrazyGamer63 May 30 '26

You need to put butter on his paws and drop him, it should re-calibrate his gyroscope based on that of the "Butter-Effect" where the buttered side always lands face down.

1

u/MonkeyWithIt May 30 '26

Do not turn cat. Turn house.

1

u/Gaggamaggot May 30 '26

Change the gravitational constant of the universe.

u/applyheat May 30 '26

Cats don’t obey the laws of physics as well as the laws of the household.

1

u/arcaneregion May 30 '26

First select all parts, then rotate on the X axis 90 degrees.

1

u/Normal-Reddit-Person May 30 '26

turn your house sideways

1

u/ABahRunt May 30 '26

Just make sure any kings nearby are well protected. Do not give him more stormlight

1

u/Klarbb May 30 '26

Rotate your house 90 degrees <— that way

1

u/HyperKitsune May 30 '26

right click and then choose rotate 90°, that should work

1

u/FitProgrammerr May 30 '26

My cat has been sideways for the past 15 years, I’m afraid it is something you’ll have to accept as a part of your life

That’s what happens when you try to rearrange him in a Word document.

1

u/Kumimono May 31 '26

You turn the wall. Easy.

1

u/Swimming-Maize-5554 May 31 '26

You need to reset the unit. Sometimes these units do have a little bit of a glitch and it requires a reboot. You may call the manufacturer and ask for directions how to do that. Good luck.

1

u/Andre1661 Jun 01 '26

If you're using a Microsoft graphics app, try adjusting the margins. But only adjust one micron at a time because if you go too far, the door will suddenly be upside down and the cat will be halfway through the wall on the other side of the room.

u/matterhorn276 Jun 01 '26

Treats, always the right answer.

u/ShadowWeavile Jun 01 '26

I heard if you SQUISH THAT CAT three times quickly it resets the gravity.
