Should cat bathing machines be banned?

No, we should just take anyone who uses them on cats who hate them, and put them in a machine that turns them into cat food.

Failing killing everyone responsible, yes, they should be banned.

Yes, total abuse. WTF! Cats rarely need bathing anyway. Poor cat…complete trauma.

I agree that the thing is probably needless torture. I’ll tell you an interesting story my wife told me about a friend of her family when she was a little girl. The guy was a career sailor & had both a dalmatian and a cat that loved hopping into the shower with him. She swears they were brought up fom puppy & kittenhood to enjoy the routine, but I can’t imagine a cat EVER adjusting to such a thing.

My cat used to jump in the shower with me, but he didn’t sit directly in the stream of water. He’d get wet… but not soaked. That was quite a surprise, though, to feel a furry tail on my leg in the shower.

I’ve never seen anything so stupid and I think any owner or pet shop employee who puts a cat in there is traumatizing the animal. Imagine how the animal would feel not knowing what’s going on, just knowing it’s in a box where it can’t get out and there’s water shooting out of jets. Unimaginable. Cats don’t need baths except on rare occasions when they get into some dirty stuff. Otherwise, they bathe themselves.

Yes. It’s animal abuse. Appalling machine. And appalling, ignorant people who abuse their pets with it.

Absolutely they should be banned. And ripped out of any building they reside in and thrown into a metal compressor, along with anyone who has put an animal in there.
