Kitty goes round and round...

Happily, this kitty lived through it's adventure in the washing machine. Apparently, it crawled into the open machine and was trapped when the owners started the machine, unaware that kitty was inside.

We've seen this happen at TVEC. A small dog was sleeping in a pile of laundry, was scooped up with the pile and put in the washer. This dog died, unfortunately.

Dryer accidents are more common. Someone leaves the dryer open while they transfer clothes, and a kitty climbs in to the nice, warm cave for a nap. Later, the dryer gets started and kitty gets burned and beat up in the tumbling dryer. Deaths have occurred.

Moral of the story: Be careful not to let your pets get in the washer, or the dryer!
