That was funny, good one Kommi.
PS some cats have to be bathed. My Polydactyl cat has hair thats about 6 inches long and at times, she needs teh bath as its physically impossible for her sometimes to get clean after making a giant fucking mess in a cabnet or such.

You can sit there until you are blue in the face and say cats never need baths, but they do. I bathe my cat like twice a year. Its a rare thing. Its usually when he has gotten himself into something he shouldnt and gets dirty or hes shedding like a mofo and a bath will quickly resolve the problem. I put him in the shower and close the glass door. The cat is essentially trapped much like on the machine wash video. He gets pissed and tries to get out, but cant. The only difference is that I'm there to hold him down and get scratched. If I were not there to hold him down, you can bet your ass he would be flipping out just like the cat in the video.
As an animal groomer for about 5 years, I can tell you from personal experience that this could have gone very wrong very fast. You can sell yourself on the simplicity and convenience of it all you want, but let me tell you, you wouldn't be laughing if this cat stresse itself out enough to cause seizure, heart attack, or heart failure. I have seen animals get so stressed out by the grooming process that they have defacated themselves, I've seen life-threatening seizures from the stress of the grooming process, and I've seen dogs die from heart attacks that lead to heart failure, simply because of stress. Were there a lot of these incidents? No, thank God, because most groomers can tell when enough is enough, and at what point continuing the bath/haircut would be too much for the creature to handle.
Humans being involved in the grooming process may lead to injuries, sure, welcome to any job involving risk. I've been bitten, scracthed, clawed, take your pick, I've seen it all. But with humans directly involved, you can help the best you can to soothe the animal and prevent them from scaring the hell out of themselves.
Take that human touch away, lock a scared creature in a room with no one to monitor it's condition, and you are asking to kill a creature. You leave an animal to it's own devices, it's own instincts, which are Fight, Flight, or Freeze. Well guess what, in this machine, it can't really do any of them, now can it? So guerss what that leaves? An animal that could send it heart racing fast enough to kill it or do permanent mental/psychological damage, not to mention physical damage from the freaking out. It's inhumane, it's disgusting, and I can't believe someone would be so stupid to even MAKE this fuckin peice of shit invention, let alone actually USE the fucking thing on a live creature that wasnt EXTREMELY well socialized.
I'm not yelling at anyone for posting this, I'm not even bitching out the people that laughed, ignorance is bliss. Just a little information.

actually you are/were, but hey i worked as a manager of petsmart for many years-and beleive me arlie if you doubt for a SECOND that if it would improve the bottom line they wouldn't hesitate to install machines that did this you'd be fooling yourself, they'd jut assign some teenage grooming assistant/bather to watch the animals for safety.
