What idiot thought this would be a good invention...

[CathyBogart]

It would kill me to see Cupcake so terrified. I've had to bathe her before, and she did NOT like it, but I managed without traumatizing her.

Anyone know if this turkey on YouTube was turned in or reported????

Should be easy to trace...if it has a monitor or something....

idiot!

[dukedogsmom]

I was so angry when I saw that that I logged in and made a comment. I gave it a poor rating. I can't believe the amount of people that thought it was funny. Makes me sick. I also can't believe it's at a pet store. Totally ridiculous.

Me too Heidiv, its absolutely disgusting, I was getting sick just watching it

[Freedom]

I couldn't watch much of it. as soon as the poor kitty started panicking, that's it, I was off. The is cruelty in my mind, as well. The cat has no way to get away on its own. Poor thing.

[rosethecopycat]

Gutwrenching.

I too imagined my Bella caught in there.

And you are NOT supposed to get their heads wet.


Is that machine actually in production?
Can we launch something at that company?

Aside from the fact that the poor cat was traumatized and could've been physically injured from all the contorted jumps it was making, this is why animal cruelty, especially to cats, is rampant. People think it's funny to watch a cat panic because s/he jumps high in the air and does back flips, etc. They don't even realize that the cat's stress level can be life threatening. I DO NOT tolerate cat jokes if they demean a cat in any way and if anyone sends me a video portraying a cat in peril, they're on my list forever. These people who thought of this stupid machine should be penalized in some way. Makes me wanna scream!

And you are NOT supposed to get their heads wet.

Actually you can get a cats head wet. Outside cats get wet heads all the time, the main difference is water is coming from one direction only, above, in the form of rain, and they can fold down their ears to keep water from getting in. Unlike this supposed 'cat washing machine' which has water coming from all over and underneath.

I bathe my cats 3-4 times per year (cept for Dusty because she's too old and arthritic anymore). I've always washed their heads. I keep the sprayer on a mild spray and hold it close to the top of the head so water trickles down the face and use a wet washcloth for actual cleaning. When I am done I make sure to dry their faces with a towel and clean out the ears in case any water did manage to drip in there.

In my years of doing this with my multitude of cats, none of them have ever had any ear or eye infections from getting their heads wet.

I think it just matters how you do it.

OMG That poor Kitty. I left a comment.

This is the company's website.

Andy and I saw this on Animal Planet being demonstrated on a dog at a Pet Expo in CA. Dogs I can see using it on, but can't imagine how they think a cat wouldn't be stressed out. I know some people with long hair cats take them to be groomed and I'd think the groomer would get clawed more trying to get the cat out of this vs. hand washing.

[lizbud]

I can't believe that. Stupid, stupid, people. Seeing the panic and fear of that poor cat made me ill.

[Argranade]

What pet cleaning place would honestly buy one of those I mean that cat was freaked out major!

I don't see how people find that funny either, look on a small bright side - at least that poor cat was not blow dried in that thing ... O.o

[Lizzie]

I'm going to pass this on to Pasado Safe Haven and the Humane Society for Washington, the two animal advocate organizations in my state. I feel sure it is real. I forced myself to watch the whole thing, first of all to make sure the cat survived (I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd suffered heart failure) and then to put myself in the place of his guardian who appeared to be in front of the machine watching. How on earth could she stand to watch?! I know I couldn't put my cat into such a contratpion, and even if I was persuaded to do so, I would be screaming at them to stop and wrenching at the door the first time the cat threw himself up in panic.

[buttercup132]

This dosen't even get the cat clean!! It just makes it soaking wet and gets water up the nose and in the ears. That has to be the STUPIDEST invention I have ever seen. I went on the site and this made me laugh how could someone so smart be such a idiot. Clearly made for the benifit of people NOT the animals.

Pet's Spa Cabin eliminates the stress produced by current pet cleaning methods

Hmm funny cause it isn't stressful doing it the manual way if you do it right...
