Cat Miraculously Survives After Being Trapped In A Washing Machine
Cats are very mischievous creatures who love to explore. A cat's curiosity and independence are qualities that many people admire about our feline friends.
Sometimes, however, cats get themselves into a bit too much trouble. As their loyal servants, it is our job to ensure that their curiosity doesn’t have negative consequences.
This cat managed to sneak past his loving owner and found himself in a very unfortunate situation. Cats are self-cleaning, but this cat unintentionally decided he needed a little extra cleaning.
Please, especially when gathering bedsheets, check for your pets! Cats, in particular, love to snuggle up and may not move when you strip the bed, which could lead to a very upsetting story!
This family and this cat had to learn the hard way that a cat's sneaky behavior can have consequences, and thankfully it wasn't any worse.
Amanda Meredith, from Queensland, Australia, put a load of sheets in the washing machine. She then began to hear a strange meowing noise but thought it was coming from the nearby cupboard.
She went to hang out a load of washing, but when she returned, she saw her cat, Oscar, inside the washing machine.
She told ABC News:
"The poor little cat had his paws on the glass as he was doing the rotations, and he was looking at me."
"It was tragic."
It took two agonizing minutes for the machine to drain and for Oscar to get out. She phoned the vet, who told her the next six hours would be "touch and go."
After spending 24 hours under observation at the vet, Oscar returned home and slept for a week. His owner said he used up "three of his nine lives" in his horrifying twelve-minute hot machine wash.
