Pet Washing Machine

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

First, put a rubber mat in the bathtub to keep the kitty from slipping. This will do a lot to calm them down. Second, using a hand held sprayer will make washing and rinsing much more efficient and faster than pouring water over the cat from a pitcher. Third, is your cat really that dirty? Cats do need to bathed, but not as often as some people think. Mine might get bathed once a year. One of mine has a chronic sinus infection (incurable - but thats another story) so when she cleans herself, she tends to get snot on her fur when she has a flare-up of the infection. She gets bathed monthly, or more.
One of my other cats liked to play in the litter box when he was younger (??? weird cat behavior), thus he would smell like urine. Since he liked to sleep on the bed, he got bathed alot until he quit playing in the litter.
 
Can these corporations come up with ANY more retarded, lamebrained ideas to help people to torture those they are stewards of?
 
We bathed my grandmother's two cats occasionally. They didn't exactly "like" it but they certainly didn't pitch a fit like that severely traumatized critter in the video. As long as they were held gently and firmly, they stood in the tub until it was done. Looked *awful* (LOL) coming out, but we dried them with a couple towels each then they groomed themselves for the finish and rested contentedly.
 
I don't think you'd be alive to tell the tale if you attempted to wash our cat. He's big enough to have caught and killed a wild rabbit and I don't think I'd like to be on the "wrong side" of him.

If he was put in there, you'd open the door and end up hospitalised!
 
OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot say anything most of you have not said already.... that pet spa thing is an absolutely horrible, cruel, inhumane thing to do to an animal!!! That poor cat!! GEEEZ!!!! I could and would NEVER put an animal in machine like that, it's so cruel!!!

Also I am surprised the poor kitty did not react like "burger, the pissed off cat" after being "released", but then again it was probably so incredibly traumatized by the experience that it had to be relieved just to be let out!!

I think the machine was created so not so loving pet owners could stand there and watch their animal be tortured like that!!!!! Yes the machine should be reported and banned!!!
 
Back before better flea killers were available, I did occasionally wash my cats with a pet shampoo with a flea killer in it. In general, they accepted the process as long as one was gentle, held them, spoke reassuingly, used lukewarm water gently, etc. I can't say most of them liked it, but I did have one cat who loved water. Once she even jumped into the bathtub with me whan I was taking a bath! She also liked to eet bananas and strawberries... lol...

But since better flea control products have been available (for the past 10 years) I have not found a need to give any cat a bath. They do a great job of cleaning themselves.

As pointed out, the biggest problem with that pet spa is that it is basically unattended. Cats need a lot of reassurance for something as foreign to them as a bath. That cat probably thought it was drowning.
 
Animal Spa?

This is absolutely disgusting and I don't care what animal goes into it. It is horrible. I had to turn it off really fast. Sick People, Sick Minds. Someone call PITA. And BTW, would the webmaster take this whole thing off please.

While I like to think I have a sense of humor, but...

Wow I can't believe what I just saw; I had to turn it off as well. How cruel, while I'm not really a cat lover and I do find the occasional cat soufflé joke funny, I certainly would never, ever subject a living creature to something like that. Granted it didn't hurt it in any way shape or form, but the fact that it traumatized it was so unnecessary. I can't even kill the occasional mouse I find in the basement mouse, I have to capture it gently and let it go outside across the street near the pond and make sure it doesn't get hurt. Same with the frog I found in the basement last summer, my biggest concern was that it did not get hurt while getting it out of the house.
 
I had to turn off the video with dufus in the dishwasher... OMG, he ruined a perfectly wonderful dishwasher that i would love to have..

There was a lady here, who got arrested for animal abuse for washing her dog in the dishwasher a few years back
 
Well, some people think of pets as just another disposable plaything....

I was thinking about this earlier, and my question is, do you believe the individuals who dreamt this up honestly just wanted to provide cat owners with a hygienic way of cleaning their cat, and got carried away?

I've never known a cat to ENJOY water, but somehow, if only they could have come up with something more open, something with finer spray, that could perhaps passively restrain him without locking him into a tomb-like machine? In other words, was it made to look like a machine, to satisfy OUR idea of cleanliness? I would think it would be dark and scary in there....I know I would be, if I were a cat!

And, yes, people do sadistically kill animals....and it's not a "uniquely American" thing either....I clearly remember reading about some unbalanced woman in the UK boilwashing her cat in order to exact revenge on a lover who had spurned her...

I have the feeling that this is the sort of thing that goes on all the time, yet witnesses are cowed by peer pressure, or maybe the fear of being identified with the "PETA agenda", and just don't report it.

No pun intended, but these things are usually copycat crimes, and who knows if we (meaning me) really aren't aggravating the situation by reporting on them....

I'm actually a lot more troubled about this, after thinking about it, than when I saw the video itself this morning.
 
The ladys dog survived, but was taken away by her kids and given to aneighbor after they learned of there mothers crime. She was miffed because the dog was dirty and the kids hadn't washed him. She was not on her rocker. I met her once and boy was she wacky.. Her kids and ex husband still live down the street from my old townhouse, but she's not here..
 
I once or twice rinsed my cat off. She didn't enjoy it, but a quick dunk, scrub belly, pull out, towel, hug, and she didn't complain.

Some cats are REMARKABLY patient though.

Cats are generally self cleaning, but do get a bit too dirty at times.
