If the “cat spinning”, a new trend on Tiktok that stages your pets may seem fun and cute, it could cause irreversible injuries to your cat.
Indeed, several Internet users have enjoyed filming their pet while spinning it in the air, run by legs or torso.
Although the live reaction of the cat can be fun for the owner, this action is dangerous for the animal, warned veterinarians on Tiktok.
This is the case of a British veterinarian, Ben The Vet, who asked Internet users to leave the animals alone by leaving them on the ground.
“Is it funny?” I don’t understand why it’s so entertaining. […] Leave cats on the ground, “he insisted in a video on Tiktok, published on April 24.
This opinion was also shared by another veterinarian on Tiktok, Jade, who specifies that this action calls for “unnecessarily the joints and the muscles”, which can cause “dizziness and nausea” to your animal, only to reach views on Tiktok.
This action could also “damage the spine” of your pet, she said.
If your animal is struggling and does not seem to love experience, it is all the more important to stop spinning it in the air, she reiterated, noting that it is essential to think of the health and well-being of your feline.
