Well to "lick your wounds" is a phrase for a reason. Probably hurt it's leg a bit climbing through that

I kind of hate when people watch their cats do something like this as if they couldn’t get hurt. Like a video when a cat’s entire body weight is hanging by a single claw and people are like “haha look at that.”

Goddamn Redditors such whiners when it comes to others showing basic compassion and empathy toward other living things.

u/The_Silver_Nuke Nov 10 '24
There's basic compassion and empathy and then there's being a backseat cat parent.
These are not mutually exclusive and often overlap. The key is to see when you're pushing past that boundary and just nagging people from a high horse.

If you saw a person struggling like that I'd like to think that you would help them. Do the same for animals. It's not about coddling them. It's about not being a cunt.

u/The_Silver_Nuke Nov 10 '24
If the person proved they couldn't do it then yeah you step in. But if they can still make it under their own power that's when you sit back and let them learn.

Oh I am already lol. That's why my opinion is as pragmatic as possible instead of an emotional kneejerk like others in these posts.
-Edit- lol they blocked me because they don't know how to handle someone disagreeing with them.
You help animals when they genuinely need help, not before. If you help them when it's unnecessary they lose their survival instincts.

u/WSilvermane Nov 11 '24
1, no you're not pragmatic at all.
2, Cats are literally being killed by things like this and its an active problem. Fuck off. Help the animal.

several self-cleaning litterboxes being sold on amazon were decapitating cats, so i think one can’t be too careful with these things

u/RagdollSeeker Nov 10 '24
You are behaving like cats don’t get into accidents and get their claw rip off.
Have fun paying those vet bills and deal with guilt.

Good thing that door broke. That cat could have had severe injuries if it closed the door with its weight. Internal bleeding, probably even death.
DON’T USE THESE CAT BOXES.

I want to take this moment to make everyone aware of the deadly litter boxes being flooded in the online marketplaces right now (primarily Amazon aka wish.com) that are deadly. There is no way to know which manufacturer since different litter boxes are coming from a manufacturer in China and it gets labeled with a company logo for drop shipping.
What alerted me about it is this video:
The DEADLY self-cleaning litter boxes that have flooded the market
As you can see, many of these boxes have led to suffocation and up to complete decapitation. Some owners have walked into find their cats dead with the cat's heads completely cut off with blood everywhere.
I hope someone finds this comment and it prevents other cats from having to go through that.

Automatic litter box cat deaths would like to have a word with you.
This isn’t an automatic door, but it could have gone the same way if it hadn’t broken.
Protect your cats. Don’t put them in harms way for likes or a “catsareliquid” sub, because they’re not.

u/IveLovedYouForSoLong Nov 09 '24
Automatic litter boxes designed to kill cats are a different thing entirely from this video. I don’t think the device in the video could hurt cats
Also only fucked up people put their cats in harms way, not me

Like I said, it’s a good thing the door broke. Because I’ve seen animals get caught between things like that by their own weight and it was not pretty. They were injured. Badly.
Please instruct your cats on how to use these doors so this doesn’t happen.

u/Mello_Hello Nov 09 '24
“Designed to kill cats”
That’s the thing. They’re not. That’s why devices like those, and this, are a problem. Because they’re advertised as safe and fun and convenient, and so people buy them, and then something goes wrong and you lose a pet.
Like I really can’t see any logical reason to arguing against “this could seriously injure the animal.” Do you have one of these? It seems like a really really weird hill to die on.

Cats hate these litter boxes. People that insist on using them for their cats are assholes.

u/bbqsauceontiddies Nov 10 '24
Genuinely curious, is it less horrible if the door is taken off? I got one because my cat would kick half the litter out of a normal box, i had no idea they were so bad. I’ve been wanting to get him something different but idk what.

u/Aida_Hwedo Nov 10 '24
Top-entry litter boxes are a thing!

u/bbqsauceontiddies Nov 10 '24
Ooh! I have one of those saved on Amazon! I worry he might not be able to figure it out but it’s worth a try!

u/Aida_Hwedo Nov 10 '24
There’s lots of styles out there! You also could add stairs of some kind so he doesn’t have to jump up—cats are lazy too. Place him in the new box once or twice so he knows what it is, and he’ll hopefully catch on!
And if you’re really worried, leave the old box out somewhere for a while. I have a Litter Robot (that brand is perfectly safe), and sometimes it gets stuck partway through the cycle, so there’s no litter to be had. (It’s supposed to alert me when this happens and doesn’t anymore, for some reason…) I keep a regular litter box under the garage sink as a backup.

I used to do the same thing for my cats. And I'm pretty sure the hole from the door is just as fine as having the entry hole on top... I wouldn't replace it until you have to anyway

u/Kirielle13 Nov 09 '24
Absolutely! Not only is it unsafe for the animal it contains all of those nasty things the poor animal shouldn’t have to breathe in.

Isn't this what end users do usually when software is made to be easy to use? /s

u/Blissextus Nov 10 '24
It's just a tiny design flaw. I'm sure the designers will iron out the bugs & software kinks in its next iteration.
Look at the bright side, at least the litter box worked as intended. 😏

Those doors are removable. I had to do it for my cat. He would get confused.

You’re supposed to show your cat how it works.
