Good idea? Or a bad idea?

There is a product called PetSpa (tip: Barking Moonbat Early Warning System). And that name pretty much sums it up.

Here it is in action:

That is so wrong. Yes, I laughed. Out loud. But it’s still wrong.

I’m sure the people that invented this thing were sitting around, thinking this was a good idea. And that poor cat trusted the person that placed it in the PetSpa.

Only, the cat got a rude surprise. And pretty early on figured out it didn’t like what was happening. But there was nothing it could do about it. The makers of the PetSpa, and the owner of the cat, decided it was best.

They’ll try that again on that cat. Only, I suspect that, unless they’ve de-clawed that cat, they next time they try it, the cat with have its on rude surprise.

I wonder if I could use this as an analogy to anything?

  1. Poor Cat – I beleive that PETA are bunch of goons and wack jobs but I hope they see this and act on it.

    Who ever came up with this probaly tortured animals as a child.

    This remined me of what Nazies did to the Jews and other minorities in Europe during WWII. First it was group showers and the gas came.

    Dispicable.

  2. So….waterboarding terrorists who’d love to kill millions of people is bad for some reason …..but a machine to torture cats is ok? I had a cat for 18 years, they do not require baths in a torture chamber or anywhere else.
    Whoever invented this thing should be tortured then shot then tortured again along with anyone who’d put their cat in it.

    Using our unique technology we are able to lower the stress on pets compared to traditional bathing due to the fact that we do not use a restraining system and there is no stranger restraining or holding the pet. Also our unique patented nozzle system will provide a hydro-massage shower that will relax the pet and increase circulation which is very beneficial
    They seem to have a strange concept of what is and isn’t stressful.

    The huge number of typos on the site speaks volumes.

  3. Tantamount to torture. Did not laugh. The was trusting going in, so they did it to one that knew them. Twice wrong. Hope they get nut cancer. And this from a commie hating, right-winger. Hope this isn’t a trend in video posts. I come for political humor not cruelty to animals.

  4. Cats hate me and I hate cats. This began when my Mom’s cat became jealous at newborn me’s arrival and urinated in fresh laundry. My Dad threw the cat down a short basement stairwell and shut the cat’s door.

    Thus, I applaud this invention. The cat first thinks it will die in this awful “water”. Within seconds, the cat has resigned itself to fate; it is subservient to humans. The music is also hillarious and undoubtedly added to the cat’s agony at meeting fate.

    Thank you, Basil, from the bottom of my heart.

  5. Unless you meant this as a warning not to buy this POS. It does not work well as a lead in to the health care commentary. Sorry.

    [Health care? What made you think of health care? – B]

  6. Thanks, Jeremy, I will!

    One request of you, however; please 86 the cancer wishes (I believe that cancer is a fate worse than getting washed, no matter how stressful it may be). Not to preach, but my grandmother died of it, and my uncle is recovering from it. In my opinion, to do such a thing is somewhat unbecoming of an IMAO Ronin.

  7. Why yes, Basil!

    The analogy is that the cat is US on Obamacare. But it ends there, since when the spa door opens (Nov, 2010), the owners of this machine (Democrat Congress) will have their eyes scratched out and their noses bitten off.

  8. # 7 Marko..I was thinking the same thing.

    One of my daughters is a pet groomer. Does quite well at it, in fact. She was horrified and laughing. She does not see this as a threat to her job. hehehe

    I was also horrfied and laughing my butt off. Just like my reaction to anything Obama does.

  9. Pointless – cats are self-cleaning.

    Actually, I guess there is some point to it – the makers of this useless machine get to pick the pockets of the rubes that think caats need baths. I feel sorry for the kitties that have such stupid owners.

  10. I wonder if I could use this as an analogy to anything?

    The American public is the cat – the PetSpa is the Obama administration. Both the public and the cat got a nasty surprise – but they learned too late and were locked in for the duration.

  11. Obamacure : Sit still and get an unwanted and unneeded enema – Try to leave and get waterboarded – If you don’t

    drown in the paperwork you are so traumatized you wish you were dead.

  12. I’m really happy I saw this – and no, not because I now want to get on some damned high horse and say totally predictable things.

    Nope. This made me smile because it’s the perfect analogy for so much of my life, on top of what Basil was getting at. My new motto: I Am The Cat.

  13. I love cats, but I had to laugh at this video. They may be harder to train than dogs, but cats have a good memory and I guarantee that this won’t happen a second time without someone losing a lot of skin on their arms.

    Not all cats hate water. My Maine coon would probably like this machine and try to play with the water jets, as many Maine coons would. If he didn’t like it, however, my 24-lb. cat would savage your face and leave your jowls in hanging ribbons.

    The sad thing is that I could see some cat-haters adopting kittens just so that they could wash them every week without being charged with animal cruelty.

  14. Free food and board, no job, no visible contribution to the household, crapping in a box and expecting others to clean it up, damaging furniture for nothing more than sadistic pleasure…this small bit of discomfort, while providing entertainment to a master that provides for its every need, is the least the cat can do.
