Abstract

A device is described particularly suited for the bathing of pet cats and small dogs. Research has indicated that a cat bath which is made of transparent material and so dimensioned and designed to permit the cat to grasp an upper section of said bath with its forepaws tends to pacify the animal. In addition, the bath has variable size patterns which serves as a aperture through which the cat can put its head but not its shoulders. The bathing container has an agitator and a ring spray which keeps the water in motion about the animal. Research has indicated that the width and breadth of said cat bath must be less than the length of the average cat and the height of the container approximately the length of an average cat. When the animal is placed into the container and liquid admitted, the animal stands on its rear paws with its forepaws grasping the upper section of the bath and its head out of the aperture. Because of the different sizes of animals which must be accommodated, an assortment of patterns is supplied to create the head aperture assuring that the animal will not escape. The animal is restrained because it cannot get its shoulders through the selected pattern. It has been discovered that the animal ceases to panic once it gets its head through the aperture.
