Ridiculous problems require solutions that are equally as ridiculous. 

The life of a cat owner is more complicated than you would anticipate. Cats are simple creatures, right? They just need to be fed, have their litter boxes cleaned, and be petted every once in a while - if they deem you acceptable, of course. Except that no, it's not that easy at all. And so, we look for solutions. If your cat demands to be fed 15 times a day, we get an automatic feeder. If your cat demands that the litter box be impeccable after each and every time they use it, you might get a self-cleaning litter box. If your cat needs to be bathed because it was too adventurous and climbed up the chimney, you might get a bath bag for your cat - to try to make the experience less dangerous for both of you.

Of couse, all of these things, at the end of the day, are to make your life easier. The cats still hate them. The automatic feeder - they sit next to for hours and sometimes try to eat the feeder. The automatic litterbox might scare them and make them tinkle the other way. The bath bag - self explanatory. And nail trimming bags… same thing, useful for us, hated by the cats, but the reviews of these things on the internet… absolutely hilarious.

    Steve from PA Verified Purchase Actually works quite well!! A little bit of maneuvering to get her into the bag. Once in and pass we're popped out she had no issue. I just hung her on the bath towel hook and then I was about a 5 minute trim. Worked surprisingly well. 78 people found this helpful Helpful Report

    Mamma_buddha Verified Purchase Amazing I put my 15# cat in this in order to trim his nails. He hates getting his nails trimmed with a passion. But once I wrangled him into this, put it on a heavy duty clamp, and clamped it to a doorway, I was able to finally get all of his nails trimmed with no scratching to me, and no fr_king out from him. It surrounds his body and gives him support from bot to neck so it's not pulling or choking him. This is so much safer than trying to fight with him trimming

    Suspiria Katie S. Verified Purchase Absolutely buy this!!! Worked amazingly! Only regret is not getting a larger one. She's not a big cat and she JUST got in a large. Order up! Otherwise this thing is amazing! Gracie FROZE while in it. It was seriously super easy to use. Def 2 person job to get her in it and after reading other reviews I put the neck/collar thing around first and that was the best advice. Get collar part secured first!!! Buy this!!!! Took less than a min to clip all four paws! 4

    Kat Great product! Verified Purchase Fits my Sky perfectly. I use it for trimming nails, putting in nail caps, and brushing her teeth. It keeps her calm and prevents her from squirming around too much....Great for visits to the vet as well! 50 people found this helpful Helpful Report

  • Oh, the lengths that they make us go to… You would think that after so many times, our cats would understand the process of nail trimming. They would understand that it doesn't hurt, and that, since they are lazy house cats, they don't need their claws all that much. They never do though. Their claws will forever be of utmost impurrtance to them, and if we want to protect ourselves from their claws when they knead on us, we have to face the demons that they turn into when we attempt to trim them. Our choice. Risk vs. reward and all of that.

    Back 22lbs of chonk does not fit. By Amazon Customer - Oct 22, 2019 I am so sad to report that my 22lb giant (Broomhead) did not fit. It was also extremely hard to even attempt. It's a cool idea and probably great from smaller cats. I ordered a large. Although trying to fit his fat a into this bag was traumatic for the both us... He forgave it quickly and prefers it as a crunchy bag to lay on for sleeps and sits. He is currently snoring loudly on top of it. 3 stars.

    Back Sssooo not easy to put on!!! By Y. Garry - Aug 19, 2020 Holy crop this was not easy to use. All of you cat lovers we all know we cannot force a cat to do ANYTHING! We are permitted to be in their lives. The fight was on with my very lovable easy going grey cat Smokie. This cat will let me pick him up and love on him. So, of course I used it on him first. This was a legit FIGHT! I finally took him down in round 3 and got the Stupid thing on and secured. Fyi, Boo my tuxedo saw round 1 looked

    Thats sherri @_keenpeach sometimes I forget how weird it is that my cat understands revenge
    via @_keenpeach

  • Oh, they 100% understand revenge, and they have no problem dishing it out. Even the laziest of housecats will retaliate if it feels wronged in any way. And that might be from you nagging it too much, to its food bowl suddenly being a couple of inches out of place. They will not tolerate mistreatment. And you know… it is actually one of our favorite things about them. The day that our cats stop retaliating against our shenanigans will be a day of sadness - because we will know that something is wrong. Their chaos is one of the things that we live for.

    Fretty Boop @i_miss_the_days omg that first cat looks like she's about to fling herself off that hook, with the front leg out and the wide-eyed stare, but the paw on the wall is what did me in, she said prepare to launch

    Hurricane Noelle @HurricaneNoelle Imao this is way too much work I wait until my cat is sleeping or relaxed and I cut them while I'm petting her. It makes it a much less stressful experience.
