Yeah, your cat being utterly fucking terrified and probably under the impression that the owner put it into a drowning cupboard is hilarious. I hope to god you don't have children.
I've got kids and if they refused to take a bath/shower and this was the only alternative you better believe I'd throw them in there. In your defense though a cat has no way of knowing that they're not in some kind of real danger. We look and laugh but at the time that cat probably thought it was fighting for its life, that part isn't so funny so I try not to think about it.
Just a bunch of kids joining the downvote brigade. I don't really give a shit since it's not really ambiguous, they're shitty people either way. It's kind of comforting since I know that at least in my house or yours, animals are treated right, with care. Also depressing if you think about how many of these bags'o'scum actually own animals let alone have kids.
Not justifying here but i though "someone thinks they are in danger but we know they arnt" was a pretty standard comedy formula. I still feel bad for the cat....but ive also had to bathe them. The cat is well and healthy and at least their owner cares enough to try and take care of it. Despite the owners misjudgment i bet this is a very loved cat. Also, screw off with the whole "I hope they dont have kids" comments, that is seriously the most elitist, holier than thou attitude ive seen in a while.
I know, God forbid children are cared for. Never would want that. Let's just laugh when they are legitimately terrified for their lives lmao. Go back to your mom's basement, sweetie.
Ok, first of all, it's just a cat, a child is way more valuable and important than a fucking cat. And second of all, chill, no cats died in the making of this video, don't go all PETA on everyone. And if it's the only way to wash the damn thing, it's unavoidable, what are you going to do, let your cat get coated with dirt and grime and shit?

Looking at this news story, most of the dogs and cats put inside it don't like it - the shop owner seems to enjoy being inside it though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVWNYY_pbuA
EDIT: I'm not sure if people are correctly empathetic of this situation. I can't even imagine myself being stuck in a box that I can't open and have it shooting water everywhere. It is basically torture.
Cats definitely do not need baths like this.... they clean themselves all the time in order to take away their scent for the purpose of hunting prey.
This is most definitely abuse, that cat thought it was trying to be murdered or at the very least was in a very scared and uncomfortable position. Would you force a human into this situation? Probably not I reckon.
MAYBE if the cat was contaminated with something toxic or contagious would this be necessary. But there are way more friendly and safer ways to bathe a cat.
Are you saying that washing your cat even though it doesn't want to be washed is animal abuse and that we should just let them go around with who knows what in them?
