    Better yet, put a cardboard box inside the carrier.

    To get my cat in there, it’d have to be as powerful as one of NASA’s space simulation vacuum chambers. And even that might not be strong enough.

    “But wait! There’s more! Flip this handy reversal switch and it doubles as a cat launcher! You’ve heard the phrase, ‘You can’t fling a cat without hitting a _____?!’ Well, if you want to test that theory, we’ve got you covered! It’s science!”

    The words ‘vacuum’ and ‘cat’ should not occur in the same sentence. My boys would hide very well if that device was real.

    It doesn’t look that gentle.

    Does it matter if the cat gets sucked in head first instead?

    Reminds me of the scene of the Grinch getting a faceful of cat in the How the Grinch Stole Christmas movie.

    If there’s anything cats hate more than a carrier it’s a vacuum cleaner.

    Does it have a HEPA filter for the dander?

    Brushing the teeth of cats is an activity with a lot more danger and damage creating ability than getting it into a crate.

    No cat is going to go near anything like a vacuum cleaner.

    And as soon as kitty gets out, you’ll be in the hospital.

    “Nature abhors a vacuum.” Cats don’t like ‘em much, either. Cats are terrible natural.

    I wonder how far in the process John got before he realized he needed to add “gentle”. ☺️
