One day, my wife had opened the dryer, removed a piece of clothing, and left it open. I saw it later, closed the dryer, reran it and walked off.

I heard a thump, which caused me to pause for a few seconds. I heard a very faint, distressed meow a few seconds later, just as I was walking off.

If I had walked away any faster I’d have lost a kitty.

With a cat at home you need to be sure what is inside of the washing machine when closing it.

Yep, learned that the hard way.

That sounds way worse than your previous story.

Same story: I wasn’t going to mince words over washer vs. dryer. Only mishap was with the dryer.

Yeah, I wonder why it could be.
