Cat survives two-hour washing machine ordeal - John L - 05-06-2012

I guess those little fuckers really do have more than one life to give: Cat survives two-hour washing machine ordeal in South Africa. Of course sleeping in a washing machine, or on top of a warm engine block, or other brilliant places, isn't all that conducive to prolonged health either. Wink

Quote:JOHANNESBURG -- A cat survived after it was tossed around inside a washing machine for almost two hours in Johannesburg, the South African newspaper The Star reported Friday.

Karin Bennett, 63, heard meowing noises coming from close to her washing machine and began to search for her cat Tabitha.

She searched her neighbor's house -- where the adventurous cat likes to visit -- and her kitchen cabinets, oven and fridge but was unable to find the animal.

When her washing machine cycle finished, she went into the laundry and discovered Tabitha's furry face looking back at her through the machine's glass.

The cat was inside the washing machine for one hour and 45 minutes.

Tabitha was treated at a local vet for hypothermia and shock but was not seriously injured during the incident.

"It could happen to anybody. She must have been sleeping in there," Bennett said. "The vet told me she [the cat] had lost seven of her nine lives."

Yes - of course. Especially when one expects a cat to think like a human and figure out machines do this or that and could hurt them. I dog would never do something stupid.

I didn't say that Dear.

Besides, I have seen that same thing in a few humans, who got their heads stuck, putting them where they don't belong. And I'm not just talking about the one between their shoulder blades either. LOL!~

Oh, fuck, are we really going to get this touchy and upset over cats? So fucking touchy over fucking cats that you just automatically attack dogs without prompting? Jesus wept.

And yea, that cat really did have an extra life or three to live through that one.

An hour and 45 minute wash cycle? I could wash AND dry two loads of clothes in that time.


RE: Cat survives two-hour washing machine ordeal - Twitchin Kitten - 05-06-2012

I was wondering about the wash time too.


RE: Cat survives two-hour washing machine ordeal - John L - 05-06-2012

She wanted to make certain everything was good and clean,..........................or dead. Wink

I guess kitty won't be crawling inside the washer for a nap anymore!
