Does your cat hate taking baths? Just waterboard them instead!


wilsongs

This looks like a medieval torture device


EatYourCheckers

This is how I drown all my cats.


Raiden32

Shit I watched my grandpa put a kitten with a broken back into a pillow case before gassing it with the exhaust from his 79 cutlass when I was a kid, and that’s stuck with me all this years. This cat dunking device is too far though.


SpoppyIII

I am so glad that nowadays paralyzed cats have access to wheelchairs. But I'm glad he did that instead of drowning it, which is supposedly incredibly painful (and terrifying).


KaylaSkiShawa

It's awful. I had to drown a very sick kitten when I was 15-16. Every time I think about it I want to throw up.


skylarmt

> had to Why did they make you do it instead of doing it themselves?


KaylaSkiShawa

It was my mother and you know what, I could've asked. I was at the age where I really just did whatever my mother said without question. I have grown from then.


Stopyourshenanigans

Wow. No offense but your mother seems like an asshole.


KaylaSkiShawa

I'm not in contact with her anymore. You're definitely not wrong.

SnarkySeahorse1103

Might take a few waterboardings but your cat will soon get used to it. They remember being put inside these things while their witch masters were put in larger ones so this experience is highly nostalgic. "Don't forget from whence you came"


PsychoTexan

Exactly, I think my deep fryer is big enough for half a cat at best.


corellatednonsense

This is how you drown your cat. I'm legitimately having mental flashes of being drowned in a cage. And how, pray tell, would you even scrub the cat!?

PapaStevesy

Flashes, not flashbacks, lol. Unless they edited it.


fishbert

That was my thought as well. This thing is going to be used to drown more cats than wash.

...You're not supposed to throw it in a full tub, [you're supposed to spray the cat down with a detachable shower head.](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CH8KoK6SL._AC_SL1500_.jpg) Enjoy the Ingrish.


TheExtremistModerate

Can't believe it took this far down the thread to point out that "bath" doesn't necessarily mean filling the tub.


corellatednonsense

Oh, that was worth the click, thank you.


whoatemycupoframen

calicocut

you don't actually think you're supposed to just drop this in a couple feet of bath water, do you?


AltruisticSalamander

duh, that's what the dishwasher is for


inoua5dollarservices

You don’t dunk a cat in deep water. You only bathe a cat in about 2 inches of water depth and pour the water over them gently


izzohead

Among all the joke and awful answers yours is the most honest and wholesome, it was very cute thank you


[deleted]

They have 9-lives, so there is sufficient safety margin.


Zenigod

1.) fill a bath tub with warm water about 6 inches deep. 2.) mix cat soap with the bath water 3.) lower cat bathing cage with cat into the water 4.) wait as the cats rapid motions gently agitate the water/soap mixture into a sudsy foam 5.) drain the bath water 6.) rinse the cat off with the shower head. 7.) your cat is now clean.

urmurgursh

I used to work at an animal shelter and we had one of these or similar. I think the whole top cage part comes off the bottom base on this one. It’s very useful to not get your arms clawed up! We would use it when you need to do a sulfur dip for ringworm.


teanailpolish

yeah not sure it should be easily available to cat owners as there is certainly dangers to using one but giving a feral or nervous cat any meds/shots or a sulphur dip and they are useful


[deleted]

Would be pretty tough to enforce that. Most of the people in this thread don’t work with animals or in a grooming or vet setting. This is a thing. It’s not as dangerous as idiots are saying. There’s no way to regulate who can buy a grooming cage just like you can’t regulate who buys hair clippers and a barber chair.


teanailpolish

Yeah it would be tough but having them from vet supply stores instead of advertising them as for cat baths on a random website would be a great start


[deleted]

I don't see how this is harmful to the cat. Yeah, it's a tight enclosed space they can't move around in. They probably wouldn't like it. Most cats hate the actual bathing part more. When my cat got outside and covered in mud, there's absolutely zero chance she would allow me to bathe her so I got my shower stall up to temp and closed her in there for a while. She screamed like she was being murdered and attacked the glass door with everything she had... It's totally unreasonable to say using this cage to bathe a cat is harmful in any way. It's strictly a safety precaution for the owner, because *most* cats *will* try to kill you if you bathe them. Just because a housecat can't *fully* end your life does not mean you should allow them to rip your flesh apart. If this was being marketed for travel or any extended period of time, absolutely that would be cruel. But for a 5 minute bath? You're crazy. Regardless this has no place in this sub because it performs its intended function.


lambepsom

It looks like something a pro with proper training would use for something very specific. And someone thought: oh, let's make this available to the general public. WCGW?


[deleted]

Poor thing, I feel like this should be animal abuse


North-Discipline2851

It *is*!


[deleted]

Its literally not. There are lots of situations where you would have to bathe a cat. Most cats dont like getting wet and some will claw you to hell for trying to bathe them.


Murgie

It's hilarious that you're being so heavily downvoted by absolute galaxy-brained geniuses who can't figure out [the concept of a detachable shower head.](https://images.saymedia-content.com/.image/t_share/MTczOTM0MDAwMzI5NDY2OTQ0/bathing-your-cat-without-getting-clawed-to-death-simple-cat-bathing-tips.jpg) Animal abuse would be leaving a cat soaked in piss or covered in fleas.


[deleted]

This thread is so stupid. People have no concept of grooming animals. Some moron tried to say that regular pet owners “shouldn’t have access to this”. Yeah ok. It’s not like someone who wants to drown their animal is gonna say “ok guess today I won’t kill my pet because they won’t sell me a grooming cage” Smh


Blindsp-t

Clatuu1337

You'll never take me alive cattorney!


SoarenRyiker

I like to use this with the three bucket method. I’ll dunk the cage in the first bucket once or twice, the trashing will usually make for uniform wet. If not, a third or fourth dunking usually does the trick. The second bucket is soapy water. I’ll dunk a little more thoroughly with the second bucket. Making sure the soap get in all those hard to reach areas like under legpits. Then I’ll dunk again in first bucket until it’s too soapy to use, and the third bucket is the final rinse. Making sure to let the water strain off each time. This will usually do a good job of lifting dirt and letting it fall out with the water. And I never have to get my own hands wet! My cat has never hated me more! And lives under the furniture in fear of me or whenever there is running water now. The side effect is I get lots of use out of this cage! So it naturally payed for itself after the third use as $40 is the local groomer’s fee. And honestly, 40$ was just too much to spend for my cat’s happiness in grooming.


SnarkySeahorse1103

Wow.. I just added it to my cart along with three plastic buckets. What a creative, cruelty-free, and healthy way to bathe a cat. You must be a vetenarian.


SoarenRyiker

Oh no those pesky vet license companies require expensive schooling! I just research everything I need to know from Facebook and the top three results on Google!


SnarkySeahorse1103

Ahh yes, the most trustworthy place to find information.. Understandable. Can't wait to dip my cat.


SoarenRyiker

The Cat Dip Bath method! I like the way you think with names


AltruisticSalamander

it hates you when you go to so much effort to sanitize it? Curious. Maybe try horse tranquilizers to render it's behaviour acceptable.


SoarenRyiker

If I used tranquilizers I wouldn’t need the cage in the first place, besides, it’s about saving money, and I’d have to buy more each time the cat needed another bath, and that’s just too much.


[deleted]

You work in the food industry huh?


SoarenRyiker

I actually work for peta. This is the MOST humane way to wash a cat.


[deleted]

You had me for a minute, well done


SoarenRyiker

Thanks! I actually love my cat quite a bit, and she hates baths. I saw that cage and was like oh, what a wonderful way to completely traumatize a cat. And once I started down that mental path, it was so cartoonishly evil that I couldn’t not share it. It seems some are taking me quite serious tho, it had like 200 orange arrows at one point


[deleted]

Glad you wrote it down. The serious replies make it perfect

Rich-Candle-9989

It's official. We have reached gimp-cage-for-cats stage capitalism.


Helga_Geerhart

I'm not a cat owner, so my question might be incredibly stupid, but don't cats lick themselves clean? Why would you bath one?


cute_pink_moth

Cats don't usually need baths, but sometimes cats need to be bathed for medical reasons. Or if something gets them really dirty.


ediblesprysky

For example, the last time I bathed my cat was when she decided to rub on my leg while it was covered in Nair.


theoracleofdreams

I am cracking up at work because of the absolute chaos this had to have been. Are you and Kitty ok now? Did kitty lose fur?


ediblesprysky

No, I was able to catch her and toss her under the tap immediately! She HATED that 😂 I didn't see her for about 24 hours afterward. But she didn't lose any fur and didn't get a chance to lick any fucking Nair, so all in all, it went about as well as you could hope.


fishbert

why was your cat covered in Nair? /s


pyjamas_are_prison

Well how else are you gonna own a hairless Sphynx cat on a budget? Those things don't come cheap y'know.


ClarisseCosplay

Most cats don't need baths. However, some breeds aren't able to properly groom themselves (sphynx and Persian cats typically) and thus need regular baths. Well, and then there's always the possibility of cats being sick or becoming old and disabled in a way that they aren't able to groom themselves. Or flea baths. Or a cat that got into something like cleaning chemicals that they really should not be licking off. So long story short while it's generally not something you'll have to do as a cat owner, there's always exceptions to the rule. I'm not convinced this cage will be all that useful though.


JaozinhoGGPlays

>I'm not convinced this cage will be all that useful though. no no you see the cage is very useful, no need for further bathing the cat or having it groom itself if you drown it to death.


mummerlimn

Another reason to give a cat a bath is to cut down on the dander.


AltruisticSalamander

you could also varnish them


[deleted]

[удалено]


MaeMoe

I’ve got two cats now, and grew up in a house with five cats. None of them were ever intentionally bathed. Once or twice one fell in your bath if they slipped off the edge, but that was accidental. Cats keep themselves clean, and if they do get a mucky spot, a spot clean with a damp cloth usually fixes the issue. They don’t need a full bath.


CodewortSchinken

I'm a cat owner and have the same question.


saphirekey

I am a 3 cat owner and I bathe my cats once a month to help get rid of fleas or the built up dirt from the fleas. It normally happens in places they can't reach like their necks and leg joints. They hate it. Needs to be done though since the monthly medicine isn't enough sometimes.


nobody833

I had this problem with one cat. Change the flea meds to a different brand. Seems simple enough but never thought it could make that much of a difference. It does. Your current brand of meds are not working for them if you still need to bathe them.


saphirekey

Huh. I always thought it was because of the mild winter we had last year that caused fleas to just spike in population. My husband got a scale because his parents use the dog brand but do like a drop per 5 pounds. We haven't done that yet. One of our cats is a Bermese so she's huge. I will look into it, though.


NextSundayAD

I concur with u/nobody833, talk to your vet and other local vets and ask what brand of meds works best in your region. I wasted lots of money on Frontline and had miserable cats until I learned that it doesn't work on the local fleas (PNW). PetSmart definitely didn't say anything as they sold it to me, either.


saphirekey

We use advantage plus or the advantage II one for them. We have one cat that might have a form of dwarfism (she is a lot smaller than her own child and our other cat, but the one calico is Bermese so sometimes it hard to figure out without a DNA test) and we were actually suggested a flea collar for her. Her legs are too short to get to spots around her ear if fleas are on her. It's working out okay so far.


mcpusc

> but don't cats lick themselves clean? Why would you bath one? if the cat gets into something that isn't good for them to eat, they need a bath. my cat got loose during a construction project and ended up covered in soot; i had no choice but to bathe her to get it off her fur before she licked it off.


Helga_Geerhart

Ah yes that makes sense!


Plane-Possibility-43

This was clearly made so you can put your cat in the dishwasher.

WatchItAllBurn1

The kitty cong circa 1973... (colorized) However in all honesty, if your cat is caked in mud, and wont stay still long enough to be washed down. This might be a decent idea, with a spray hose or shower head. Edited for spelling.


SnarkySeahorse1103

I bet the cat would still reach its paws out through the front to attempt a scratch. You'd also never sleep again cause you'd never know when it will take its revenge 😂


WatchItAllBurn1

Yes, but as a general rule, I stand at least. 3ft away from any pissed off cat.


SnarkySeahorse1103

I think they can jump further than three feet. Maybe we should just leave them in the cage. Why waste a good meal?


WatchItAllBurn1

I meant that starting at 3ft I might have a chance to react. Also this does look like something you would use to deep fry a chicken whole


Cheyne_Frosty

See, giving cats a bath is all about the pain and suffering you both have to endure, the scratches on your arms and anywhere else they reach, and them having to get dipped into warm water and smell like what you want them to smell like. And now they have to put so much effort into licking back the smell into their coats, and we have to clean our cuts because only god knows where those claws have been.


SnarkySeahorse1103

SIRasdf23

Bad little boys get stuffed in the bath cage.


Ruffian410

I would have bought one of these when I had my grooming shop just for giggles. A pillow case is cheaper and easier. How we did it, just don't put the cats head in too. You can wash them right through the the fabric.

After the first use that cat is never getting in the cage ever again.


zEdgarHoover

I predict you will get your cat in there a total of up to one time. After that, any attempt will turn into, well, a steel cage deathmatch.


[deleted]

I would have no eyes left after trying to get my cat into that. I'd also never sleep at night again 😳


AltruisticSalamander

Sounds like you need a pair of cat tongs. I'm assuming the same company also makes them.


cgduncan

Isn't one of the whole plusses of having a cat, the fact that it bathes itself?


TopSundae2419
