So, recently a video showing a demonstration of a product known as the Cat Spa has been making it's way around the internet and gathering attention. Someone decides to post the link to Metafilter. And it gets quite the reception.



-That's horrible, cruel, and disturbing, and I laughed all the way through. I really don't like cats.

-Elpapacito, what ? You don't like that ? You obviously are not familiar with the Pedestrian Spa Chambers scattered across the West Coast. Entire families line up down city blocks to be part of the spa chamber experience. "The jets are coming!" scream the children. "I can't get out!" scream the men. "It's like an interactive bidet!" scream the grandfathers. And everybody walks home as wet and happy as acrobatic cats.

-"And crash, I'm just glad you didn't find a version with a pug in it, you anti-pugite."
A pug would just lie there and hope it drowned him.
"Blessed release!" he would think to himself.

-Cats don't like being spayed or neutered either. I don't see any of you people protesting that as cruelty.

-This would be so much better with a semi-hysterical Japanese voiceover.

-i love when people see this and say "omg i'd kill the person who..."
yeah. everytime i see someone do something violent i want to hit them in the face with a brick.
get over yourselves.

-Waterboarding for cats.
Its OK because 'they' aren't human, and is it just as 'hilarious' when they are?

-I have recently read somewhere that, a few centuries ago, they would hang live cats by the tail over a fire and kings and populace alike would laugh their heart out: this kind of show was considered an hilarious delight.
So, it could be said that suffering cats are still used to entertain, but on the suffering cat scale, we are much more civilized.

-Say your toddler needs an injection, in the butt. The kid hates injections. Are you folks going to say that you accompanying the child and coo-cooing it while it gets the shot is the same as sticking the kid into some injection-giving-robot-confinement-box?

-That cat isn't in distress. It's trying to get out by folding the fabric of spacetime itself. It's trying to get out so it can kill.
The kitty is just fine. It just hungers for human flesh.

-Seriously. The cat and waterboarding subject are both terrified because they think they're going to die. A cat DOES NOT freak out like that if he's merely annoyed.

-Actually, "waterboarding your cat" wins the award for the dumbest/most hilarious thing written on MetaFilter this week.
"Why do you keep shitting outside your litterbox?" *blurble burble blurble blurble meoooooww!*
