― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 20:50 (nineteen years ago)

my cat darts across the room in fear when i use a dustbuster, so i imagine she would find that very distressing.

i gave a cat a bath the other day - they don't like that, either.

― bell_labs, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 20:51 (nineteen years ago)

wrong.

― ENBB, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

I feel good about it.

In the photo, volunteer Cameron Tarzwell, 13, cleans loose hair that has been shaved from an anesthetized cat, Princess, in preparation for an operation. Tarzwell has been assisting a veterinarian for four years. The photo was one in a picture story on a spaying and neutering program in Chester County in Pennsylvania.

Holy shit, I was just going to wise-assedly post this to this thread based on the title. You use StumbleUpon, yes?

― dean ge, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 20:54 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I saw that but it's still a creepy image either way.

― ENBB, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 20:54 (nineteen years ago)

lol way not as disturbing as i thought

if i ever gave my cat a bath i don't think she would ever forget.

― Surmounter, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 20:54 (nineteen years ago)

You use StumbleUpon, yes?

No

― river wolf, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

you should

― dean ge, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

That looks like a very unprofessional way of restraining a cat????

― Jordan, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 20:56 (nineteen years ago)

Should they have used staples?

― StanM, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 20:58 (nineteen years ago)

Apparently, sedated cats are being restrained like that, yeah.

(cat lover warning: another cat on its back, tied up and ready for an operation)

― StanM, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:05 (nineteen years ago)

wow!

― river wolf, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

Cats are always cute, I guess.

― dean ge, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:08 (nineteen years ago)

How else should they do it? I mean, shit, if the cat "wakes up" or something then,if it's not tied up, it' could hurt itself or the vet.

― stevienixed, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

Still that first pic is extremely creepy.

― stevienixed, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

i know how i feel about it and that feeling is abject horniness

― iiiijjjj, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

see what I found immediately afterwards on StumbleUpon? http://www.jibjab.com/view/166548

― dean ge, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

I hate being all sentimental and shallow but that second pic is definitely disturbing.

― Michael White, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

He IS sedated, but I agree - the open eyes are icky

― StanM, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

My cat looks like that ALL THE TIME.

― Nubbelverbrennung, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:30 (nineteen years ago)

Don't you untie it every now and then?

― StanM, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:31 (nineteen years ago)

You wet shave a cat before an operation, so vacuuming would seem pretty useless to me. But maybe modern technology has changed the pre-op procedure...

― willem, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

serious guilty LOLs. poor kitty.

― marmotwolof, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:47 (nineteen years ago)

I think this is the first time in 3 years here I ever said "WHAT THE FUCK!?" out loud while reading ILX.

― marmotwolof, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

I found out the reason doggies & kitties hate vacuums so much: not because they think they're BIG SCARY MONSTERS, but because the whirring gears make extremely irritating high frequency sounds not audible to us humans.

After vacuuming, make sure to bring pet from lowest of lows to highest of highs with special pet treats. At least, that is what I like to do.

....cuz I gotta get me a pair of cat handcuffs and I gotta get em right away

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 22:14 (nineteen years ago)

Okay! Hey, does anybody know where I can get some cat handcuffs? I've gotta get a pair of cat handcuffs. Either two little ones like this, to go around the little paws.. or a big one that hooks onto my arm and then hooks onto the cat. I found out my cat was embezzling from me, so I've gotta get a little pair.. of cat handcuffs, so.. Well, I found out that when I'm away, he goes to the mailbox, picks up the checks, take them down to the bank and cashes them. The way I caught him, I went out to his little house, where he sleeps at night, and there was like $3,000 worth of cat toys out there. And you can't return them, because they have spit all over them.. I don't know where he is now, I guess he went out to Catalina, or somrthing like that, I don't know.. [ audience groans slightly ] No. He bought a catamaran, and went out.. [ audience groans again ] No, he got it out of a catalog.. [ groans ] This is a catastrophe! Hey, just remember - comedy is pretty!

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 22:15 (nineteen years ago)

How else should they do it? I mean, shit, if the cat "wakes up" or something then,if it's not tied up, it' could hurt itself or the vet.

Well I guess I figured they'd use medical cuffs or something, not, like, ROPE.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 22:17 (nineteen years ago)

Haha Shakey Mo I would see you do standup.

― Abbott, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 22:19 (nineteen years ago)
