Crazy Idea

Isn't it common knowledge that most cats are surrendered or abandoned because of incontinence/spraying problems? Well, wouldn't it be wonderful if there were cat diapers? Just imagine how many problems this would solve. It's a crazy idea, but someone could make a fortune inventing something like this.

Getting any self respecting cat to stand for that would be some trick.

You're right and I reckon the majority of cat owners wouldn't go for it either because it would make the cat look ugly. But, if some genius could design something really attractive, it's still a good idea IMHO.

Unless the cat has lost the ability to actually control their bladder, the average at will hold their urine in rather than use a diaper. Then you get UTI issues.

Gosh, didn't know that. What about sprayers?

Somebody must be wearing them. She's selling a bunch of them.

Google brought up 292,000 different results. The link I posted was the first. I found this one at the middle of the page.

It mentions the first two found on my search.

I know someone who used diapers on their dog...I think it sounds like a pretty cool idea. They would have to be pretty secure, though!

Tried them on Squishy, my sprayer. It did not go well, and he really sprayed all over when he got out of the diaper!

Probably all over you out of revenge, right?

It just HAS to be in South Carolina

Incontinence is rare in cats. More common in dogs--my first dog had spay incontinence so we kept her in doggy diapers when she was having a leaky day. But the problems with cats are more likely to be inappropriate urination and spraying. Cats aren't inclined to keep diapers on, and they probably wouldn't deliberately go in the diapers. You'd have to be pretty committed to letting them have litter box breaks on a regular basis.

But I guess there must be some market for it if that lady is making kitty diapers!

Is it my imagination, or is that cat one "peed-off" kitty? (Look at the cat's expression!)

I must have a dirty mind, but when I saw the term "stud pants", I got a mental picture of something I'd imagine a male stripper wearing--some sort of pleather or real black leather, tight jeans, with a removable crotch area for his g-string to show. Seriously! I can't help it...it just sounds weird!

Breeders sometimes use them on their stud boys, hence the term stud pants. They are not for long term use, just short periods to let the boys roam inside without spraying or mating.
