Apparently this has a flap, it's just not in play for demo purposes of the suction.

Cats are well known for not being interested in flaps and not being able to go through them

the tube has a sensor to detect if something is at the flap and then asks it if it is a cat first before opening

I frequently mistake my cat for a pile of laundry and vice versa when I get up for water in the middle of the night so not really confident in the ability of a machine to do any better

My richest friend growing up had central vacuum in his house and he used it for sucking up bugs he found in the house

I always wondered exactly where they went, but not enough to actually find out

You know how they used to build houses with razor blade disposal slots that just dumped the razors into the wall? Yeah.

My neighbor had baseboard vacuum outlet things in every room and instead of a floor vacuum they had this giant braided hose they would plug into the suck outlets and use that to clean a room. Kind of clever but probably a little lost in the sauce.

Vacuums weighed a lot more 50 years ago. Just toting a hose around meant also lugging around the metal attachments. My bullshit 3 pound Hoover has nothing on the monstrosities that were built before plastic was used in everything.

You can still buy new Kirbys that are essentially a 70s vacuum. They're stout as hell, heavy as gently caress, and conveniently whored by cold knocking door to door salesmorons that can't see a scam staring them in the face. Or you can just order one online. They're good, but not $1000+ better than my $100 Hoover.

When they were all metal housing as opposed to plastic, with metal accessories and heavier hoses? When they were costly enough to justify repair shops instead of just buying another one down at the Sears?

Actually, you're probably right, I'm probably thinking about the 50s, by the 70s they surely had cheap plastic pieces of poo poo. Plastic was getting into everything in the 70s.

The tube asks what would the OTHER cat say if asked if you were a cat, then does the opposite

The tube merely presents the cat with a hypothetical situation that will cause the cat to short out like a malfunctioning android: it opens the door and says "do you want to go outside or stay inside?"

what if you install a similar slot next to the laundry hole that safely deposits the cat somewhere near your home

that way the cat can choose a destination

Smart collars for your cat that tell the system to shunt the cat to a designated cat landing spot. The collars will require a monthly subscription fee and wifi access to function.

Cats will avoid it and eventually declare war on it, by dint of the fact that it is a vacuum, the enemy of all cats.

i grew up in a house with a built in vacuum system. there were little flaps in every room that when pulled down revealed and turned on the suction holes. you plugged a tube attachment into them and it was supposed to be like a lighter weight solution to carrying a large vacuum around the house because you just needed the hose. it was very stupid but i don't remember it ever causing any problems.

the key difference though is that it was covered by a flap and not always on. i don't see how a gaping intake hole in your walls would not be a cat death trap.

where does the vacuumed up stuff go? is there just a chamber inside the walls with a massive pile of dust and pretzel crumbs?
