Earthquake Survival Suits for Pets



Earthquake-prone Japan has a market for these suits that you strap onto your cats and dogs so that they can survive for days after a major earthquake. Each suit contains all of the necessary gear including water, biscuits, aromatherapy oils, and rubber foot pads, all contained in the pockets of a flame-resistant coat.

Earthquake survival suits for pets each equipped with all of the necessary gear including water, biscuits, aromatherapy oils, and rubber foot pads, all contained in the pockets of a flame-resistant coat:

Looking at the picture of that poor cat-
A pity now the suit is so heavy that the poor pet cannot run or even walk out of harms way anymore as it could and would do without the suit....

And then:
- Aromatherapy oils...???
- Rubber foot pads...???
Like if that poor cat will have the thought to take some aroma-therapy oil to soothe its nerves when it has gotten trapped somewhere...?

Are these to be placed onto your cat beofre or after the earthquake?

Half crushed by your own home,

"Must....get...fluffy.....the...earthquake survival suit........."

This blog post is misleading; the cat could not survive by itself, which is what your phrasing implies. Someone would have to calm down the cat, feed the cat, etc. which is what the vest helps out with. It's just an easy way to know where the cat supplies are, if you can find your cat.

I wondered the same thing....how is the cat supposed to open the pockets? I had to laugh at the picture though....that poor cat.

Animals can sense quakes before the even hit, so I dont really see the point in this.

If the Japanese will pay $80usd for a square watermelon, I'm sure they're spring for these for their precious cats. Too bad all that extra weight will be sure to drown fluffy once the tsunami hits.
