Those wacky Japanese…

 

1. Why does that picture remind me of “Frog in a Blender” and “ Gerbil in the Microwave” ???

2. As soon as I read “pet washing machines” I immediately thought of tumble-dryers and kittens.

3. Also allows groomers and pet owners to keep their arms due to a cat’s amazing ability to grow extra legs and lots of claws.

4. Cats do not generally require washing.  I would think this would cause much stress for the cat if not the owner also. 
   Japanese seem to have time to come up with all sorts of stuff. Tho I can see it for dogs. I guess.

5. The only time I have ever seen a cat need a bath was after one of mine got into a ‘meeting of the minds’ with a black cat with a white stripes on it’s back…

   It was easy to get the tomato juice on the cat, but getting the cat in the tub involved a (formerly) nice leather jacket and welder’s gloves.. The poor creature ran every time I got those gloves out until the day she died, 12 years later.

6. Ah I have had to wash a kitty - which is why I don’t use clumping kitty litter much (have one of those ‘self’ cleaning deals downstairs (I see why they didn’t take off as a big hit) - we had two kittens once - whom the dog thought were his own private (and squirmy) squeaky toys - the problem is just after being carried around in the mouth of a dog before going into the kitty box -they came out encrusted with clumpy litter - hence the bath. Clumping litter went before the kitties or any thought of teaching the dog not to carry kitties around in his mouth. Funny I have a picture (one of my favs) of him wearing a Wishbone Feed The Dog napkin around his neck, but none with him carrying one of his fav toys around.

7. I had one cat who was bathed regularly when he was a youngster because he got himself into messes like the above cats. This one even got under the floorboards in an old house and crawled around in the ancient dusty insulation.

   Into the tub he went. But we had a special process. Una, the Russian undergraduate I was sharing a house with - think Marina from Hot For Words - loosely dressed only in an old bath robe, would bend over the tub and croon at him in Russian. We only put about an inch of comfortably warm water in the tub, and rinsed him by hand or with a cup. As long as water wasn’t poured in his eyes or ears he was fine. We used a washcloth to do his face. Afterwards he got toweled dry and then was subjected to an extended snuggle inside that bathrobe. Result: one very clean and happy cat who smelled strongly of flowery perfume.

   Damn, I was so jealous of that cat.

   And the picture doesn’t help, either!

9. I am to please! The perfume was Jessica McClintock too. About the girliest fragrance you can find. Our guy friends used to come over to the house and we were like, here, smell the cat. After some strange looks they’d do it, and every one of them was all Damn, this cat smells like tits!! Ah, college, such mammaries memories.
