Question:

Could a vacuum cleaner really eviscerate a small animal?

So I have heard tales of cats or dogs getting eviscerated(gutted) by a vacuum cleaner. Now personally I do not believe this, I am just wondering if there is any science or knowledge to back this legend up.

Answer:

Hmm. What Oreck do you may have? I do not know the model of mine due to the fact i'm at work however we haven't had any obstacle with the belt breaking and we've got had it for approximately 7 years and we now have two puppies that shed loads and used to have a cat unless 2 years in the past. It doesn't have any attachments, simply the basic mannequin I feel. We have no carpet though so that would be the main issue for you and the belt you probably have carpet. All of our previous vacuums would best final a 12 months or two but this one has been first-rate! It is so mild too, a Dyson can be heavier....
If that were true, my cat would have been eviscerated a long time ago! He lets me vacuum his fur with the attachment and he doesn't mind in the least. I wouldn't recommend this for other cats who are scared of the vacuum or any other animal who dislikes the vacuum cleaner.
No, I doubt it would even suck in the smallest cat or dog. Maybe an insect, but NO, not a cat OR dog. Dogs and cats sometimes dislike vacuum cleaners. Please do not do this if you do it. If you do, you are absolutely cruel to animals. Just saying. Hope this helps.
