Dave emailed us asking about
this video that had been posted on youtube.
The video shows a 'pet spa' machine, used to automatically wash and dry pets, and a cat's reaction to it.
The person who submitted it to the site added to their posting:
A pet supply store offers a "pet spa". It has a device that will wash and dry your pet. After fighting with cats in the past. We decided to try it. The pet store told us that cats love it. As you can see he didn't like it. We stopped it ealry. He was much much cleaner but he did talk to us for a hour.
So, as to whether it's a real machine and a real video, I'd say yes. The CBS news website has
run an article on the owner of one of the pet spa machines.
As for the video, some cats do freak out when in an enclosed space, or when water is sprayed on them. I suspect the cat was a little more nervous than those belonging to the satisfied customers.

"DanDierdorf:
Don't think anything of it, they look exactly the same if you hold them, wash them, and then get your arteries opened. They don't like getting washed. Period. No special reason to open yourself to being scratched, bitten, clawed or mawled. Too many peeps laught at humans and whine at animals."
I think that sums up the whole thing. If you want your pet cleaned, you either wash them by hand or by using a machine like that. Some pets won't like it either way. I know that I personally have a number of scars left over from cats that did *not* want to have their bath. If you can do the same thing without anyone (even the cat!) getting injured, why not?
Giving a cat a bath can be traumatic either way.
Thought about taking my dog.
Uhh.. no.
It's very cheap to use, but it looks terrifying
for the animal.
I love how they wrote "SPA" on it...
I guess Disney did take notice 😉
This is an animal cruelty ,I would put in the inventor and those who using this waterboarding-machine for an hour min.! :ahhh:
