Vacuum Clean Your Cat!
Vacuum cleaning our cat
This is a video showing us vacuum cleaning our cat. She is huge and totally deaf from birth. She's almost 14 years... The vacuum itself is on the lowest mode, just enough to get the loose hairs off, so no animal was harmed during the making of this vid ;)

Good idea to include the cat video. I could almost live without a vacuum cleaner if I didn't have cats! (Almost.) Posted March 19, 2008 |

Maybe with a VERY long tube, I could vacuum my kitties as they now tolerate it running within about 20 feet. Good information, nice lens! Posted February 28, 2008 |

I once took the vacuum hose and tried to get the hair off my dog. He wasn't very happy with me. Posted October 29, 2007 |
