That's straight up animal torture. The fuck is wrong with OP and the comments below? This is horrifying for the cat, and missing any context makes this even worse...
I understand your concern. Washing a stray cat does look stressful, but sometimes itβs necessary for health reasons (fleas, mites, etc.). Itβs never fun for the cat, and ideally it should be done as gently as possible. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
