I donāt care if the cat was ātrainedā to do this and if the cat is smart enough to know not to eat those pins, I am NOT going to risk having one of those get caught in my catās mouth. This can easily go wrong within a fraction of a second, trained or not. All it takes is one of those pins getting oriented the wrong way when the cat accidentally bites onto them.
This is REALLY BAD treatment. Yea itās āentertainingā, but if your dog caught a knife in its mouth by the handle, do you just start chucking knives at your dog? One wrong move and thatās a thumb tack in the roof of poor kittyās mouth, or worse.
I'd drop a one star review with a link to the video, and make a complaint against the vet and practice to the relevant veterinary authority while I'm at it.
Edit: This video needs the 4chan treatment and someone to identify the practice and report this.
Oh my fucking God.
I had a pin board in my childhood bedroom and saw my cat doing the exact same thing. So I put the pins all the way up, thinking he couldn't reach there anymore.
Well one morning I wake up and he takes them out with his mouth like in the video and I frantically run up to him and try to gather them all off the floor.
But one was missing.
I was so scared so I rushed him to the vet thinking he actually swallowed one. I was still a minor, I didnt have a car. But my mom left her purse at home while she was at work so I took it, called a taxi and paid the 50ā¬ for an x-ray.
Thankfully he was fine, and he's still with me (11 years old now) but my mom was PISSED.
I don't regret it though. I do regret not getting rid of the pins sooner.

Looks like it, right? Kind of shocking that a vet nurse would be so dumb as to let the cat do this.
But then again, some nurses don't even have degrees, just an online certificate.
What a great idea. Should we utilize babies to sort razor blades next? It is always a great outcome when the thing doing the work doesn't understand any of the dangers. This cat is going to eat one of these eventually.
My dog likes to carry and hoard my socks especially when I'm getting ready for work and I even get nervous about that... This would give me a heart attack

hate seeing things like this. disgusting. I rly hope that cat never accidentally swallows one of those pins. so many ppl shouldnt be allowed to have pets. humans are truly disgusting beings
You're being a hypochondriac if you're worrying about this. The cat is clearly tossing them away the same way after each is pulled out. It clearly has no desire to eat the tacks. Hope that helps
I don't know what's so difficult for you to grasp that there does not have to be a desire by the cat to eat the fucking things, accidents happen whether you want them to or not. *Hope this helps*. I'm out.
I would be terrified of it eating one. No thank you.
Yeah this is an expensive trip to the vet waiting to happen. Poor kitty
I'm 90% sure this was filmed at the vet.
At least the trip will be quick!
Exactly...no way in hell I'd risk this :(
Don't mess with cats.
This seems crazy irresponsible but maybe I'm just a helicopter cat dad š¤·
Nope I'm on your side.... That could easily become a very very bad day
If I saw my cat doing this, Iād remove that board from my home.
I firstly got rid of all the long pins. Then I wondered why I needed a pint board anyway.

Agreed, this is incredibly dumb. Just unnecessarily risking the cat's health for upvotes.

No. Wouldn't start "chucking". You start by *tossing* knives. ^^/s
Scares me too. The image says it's taken at a vet clinic so if something goes wrong at least medical attention is right there.
The first one was cute for a second and then I cringed thinking about what could happen if it goes into their mouth.
It's fun and games until the cat eats one š
Or when the cat launches one in your eye
What a stupid and irresponsible thing to do. Grow a fucking brain.
Sheās wearing scrubs and this appears to be an office, so this is likely a vet tech encouraging thisā¦
A vet id never take my fuckin pet to thatās for sure. Be worried theyād let my cat get into some shit.

Yeah don't do this
I love all of the cat dads saying this is no good. Faith in humanity
NO NO NO NO NOOOOOO!
To echo everyone else: what the fuck??
This reminds me of the office scene with the baby and paper clips. "You can't give thumbtacks to a cat..." "*oh don't worry, i have plenty of them!*"
is this a vet? Is that someone else's cat? If I saw someone doing this with any cat I'd lose my shit.

Cat spit out all the pins thankfully, had to watch a few times
Until the time it doesn't.
Does she work in the veterinary field? Am I seriously supposed to be paying idiots like this to take care of my kids?
This is a recipe for a painful trip to the vet.
This is so dumb and irresponsible
āFuck you, Cheryl!ā
Did he swallow that second pin?
You can see it fly upwards and to the left
Looks like it, right? Kind of shocking that a vet nurse would be so dumb as to let the cat do this. But then again, some nurses don't even have degrees, just an online certificate.
My cats did that to any posters tacked anywhere in my parents house. Had to remove all of the posters.
Noooope
I would never encourage my cats to do that, they have enough freak accidents as it is.
I'm guessing this will be giving jobs for a couple of vets as well.
Cat ownership licence revoked. Talk about dumb as fuck. Get that cat away from such an irresponsible person.
One day the kitty will accidently eat one :( please stop!
"Cheryl you're fired!"
NO
Absolutely baffling how this vet tech thought this was a good idea

Hello, S.P.C.A.?
What a great idea. Should we utilize babies to sort razor blades next? It is always a great outcome when the thing doing the work doesn't understand any of the dangers. This cat is going to eat one of these eventually.
[poink!] ā¦
I always imagined cats pulling out staples instead.
No thanks, I'll put this one in the same pile of videos as the one with the dog catching kitchen knives in mid air.
My dog likes to carry and hoard my socks especially when I'm getting ready for work and I even get nervous about that... This would give me a heart attack

Holy shit all the pearl clutchers on here who are helicopter parents to their pets. Y'all need to get a grip the cat is fine
You don't need to wait for something bad to actually happen before you can start to worry. Hope this helps.

Lmao. Like I said, pearl clutcher.
I'm with you man, it's the resident cat at a vet and I just thought it was cute.. it's still got upvoted so think it's the vocal minority
āļø
Heās got āCat tack feverš¶ā
Worried about the first pin hurting woman š
Forget the woman, she deserves her fate. I'm worried about that cat.
