[–]therealtony 0 points1 point ago

The first thing that came to my mind!

[–]wee_mee 46 points47 points ago

Someone tell me if this is true or sarcastic before i do this to a drowning cat...

[–]yakwool 14 points15 points ago

What to Do

Remove him from the water.
Place him on his side with his head and neck extended. It's preferable to have the head slightly lower than the body to promote drainage of water from the lungs and to avoid inhalation of stomach contents (aspiration).
To expel water from the lungs and stomach, pull the tongue forward and gently push on the chest wall and stomach. Take care to avoid being bitten.
Begin CPCR, formerly called CPR, as required.
Cover the pet with a blanket to avoid further heat loss.
Seek veterinary help as soon as possible.
Secure the water source to prevent other pets and children from gaining access and falling in.

What NOT to Do

Do not fail to seek veterinary help just because your resuscitation is successful and your pet seems to be recovering. Numerous secondary complications (i.e., electrolyte imbalance, hypothermia, pneumonia, fluid in the lungs) can occur.
Do not leave the pet unattended as they may be confused and wander back to the water.

[–]Xsunshinex1986 17 points18 points ago

No... I'm going with the spinning cat thing. You can't trust what you read on the Internet. This appears to be a newspaper article.

[–]yakwool 6 points7 points ago

No, it's from this site. VIN is the Veterinary Information Network -- it's a resource for vets only (a place to ask other vets questions, review cases, etc). Veterinary Partner (where I got that info) is run by VIN and is meant to be given to clients.

[–]Xsunshinex1986 8 points9 points ago

If I only had a link that explained sarcasm...

[–]yakwool 11 points12 points ago

Oh shit, I'm that guy!

[–]af_mmolina 0 points1 point ago

And they left out the most important steps... how do you peform CPCR?

[–]yakwool 0 points1 point ago

Like this!

[–]af_mmolina 0 points1 point ago

Thanks! I actually had a dream last night I had to save a drowning cat, so natrually I clicked this thread to find out how.

[–]F4il3d 15 points16 points ago

Where do you get your drowning cats?

[–]Larillia 24 points25 points ago

He makes them himself.

[–]F4il3d 16 points17 points ago

I wonder if he uses the kit.

  • 1 medium size cat
  • 1 2 gallon pot
  • 1 set of oven mitts (scratch prevention)

[–]wee_mee 0 points1 point ago

She* finds them by the lake, duh! Where do you find yours?

[–]one2-3 7 points8 points ago

he's spinning it the wrong way bro

[–]waldotherogue 1 point2 points ago

Backwards is funnier somehow.

[–]corrects_you_again 0 points1 point ago

Do you mean "Backwards is funnier somehow"?

[–]waldotherogue 3 points4 points ago

What? I have no idea what you are talking about ;)

[–]magnetard -1 points0 points ago

Username...

[–]duBiYou 1 point2 points ago

Isn't that what he said?

[–]corrects_you_again 1 point2 points ago

There is an edit button...

[–]davaca 7 points8 points ago

someone should add a guitar.

[–]DMC_Hotness 4 points5 points ago

But it should also be a cat

[–]Kofetek 3 points4 points ago

I really think that's not the man actually spinning the cat, but rather a gif made using photo manipulation.

[–]softeky 3 points4 points ago

WARNING.

Make sure you're in a space that is large enough to swing a cat.

[–]gicht 7 points8 points ago

This is ridiculously hilarious.

[–]authorless 2 points3 points ago

Is there anything Ron Paul can't do? Fighting for your rights and the life of your cat. So brave.

[–]overused-meme-alert -5 points-4 points ago

So brave

beeeeeeep beeeeep

[–]authorless -1 points0 points ago

So brave.

[–]Duvidl 0 points1 point ago

Thanks, that really clears things up.

[–]Chriose 0 points1 point ago

Ohh, so this is meat spin

[–]highguy98 1 point2 points ago

[–]VirogenicFawn21 0 points1 point ago

[–]greym84 1 point2 points ago

This has been in my Funny folder for like 10 years and I never knew the context.

[–]bastocrat 0 points1 point ago

And it goes "MeeeeOOOooooOOOOooooOOOOOoooooOOOOw"

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 0 points1 point ago

Can also be used for small children. Trust me, I'm a nurse.

[–]SquareMelon 0 points1 point ago

[–]mbrady 0 points1 point ago

The Pete Townshend maneuver.

[–]g0t3rp5 1 point2 points ago

why does it have to be a drowned cat?

[–]m1kepro 1 point2 points ago

That's not how you get the water out! Don't listen to that troll.

You're supposed to put the cat in a bag of rice overnight.

[–]DrEnter 0 points1 point ago

You know the cat is OK when it wakes up and scratches the hell out of you.

[–]FatPigeon 0 points1 point ago

That's all and good for kittens and skinny cats, but probably not much good for saving a fat cat.

[–]Scrtcwlvl 1 point2 points ago

How did no one complain about "centrifugal" force?

I'm a bit dissapointed in you reddit.

[–]garyyo 1 point2 points ago

i was about to complain. but then i ctrl-f "centrifugal" was not dissapoint.

[–]IPostOriginally 0 points1 point ago

Needs Background music!

[–]thisismax 0 points1 point ago

8/10 for not also photoshopping Pete Townshend's head in as well.

[–]FaLLenSk8 0 points1 point ago

I don't know why but i died of laughter

[–]captionUnderstanding 3 points4 points ago

First, the guy you responded to isn't the op.

Second, the op was the one who posted it in that thread.
