February 18. On this day in 1901, a man by the name of Hubert Cecil Booth took out a patent on the first suction vacuum cleaner. All modern vacuum cleaners are based on his early model. Honestly, I’m surprised my human doesn’t have a portrait of him over our mantle. We seem to go through vacuum cleaners like people go through toilet paper. Well. Maybe not THAT much. But seriously, my human should be writing her very own vacuum-cleaner-review-for-pet-owners-blog. I mean this woman has tried everything from – very expensive models to very cheap models. She has had canister vacuums and upright vacuums. Hand held models, and models capable of sucking up water. She even got a vacuum as a Valentine gift many years ago. Some women get excited about flowers. My human can’t contain her excitement over a new vacuum.
