Ohhhhh…please don’t teach your cats that washers/driers are fun kitty hangouts. You have orange cats, and it’s especially true for black cats, but any cat can get acceidently not seen. Then you close the washer, turn it on, and THEN the cat starts making noise. Except, the foor is locked, and filling with water. Even assuming you know which breaker to flip, or even if you just flip the main switch and cut power to the whole house, it still won’t unlock the door. And there’s still water in there. Hopefully you caught it before there’s enough water to drown the cat. Still though, even if it’s only belly high, cats still hate that. Plus now there’s soap all over her, and you’ll need to give her an actual bath, so she isn’t licking soap, or worse, bleach, off her cat hair.
My grandma had a story about how my dad killed a cat in the 60s just by turning on the drier. My dad REFUSED to get a cat my whole childhood because of it. And I love cats. He was afraid I’d kill it. He also refused to let me do laundry.
Downvoting this out of principle. Do not ever let your cats rest in laundry machines. I cannot stress enough that a simple mistake will kill or at best brutally injure your cats if you accidentally run the machine with them in it.
THIS BUT ALSO IF YOU ACCIDENTLY LEAVE THE DRYER OPEN THEY WILL PEE ON YOUR CLOTHS OMG CAT URINE IS BORDERLINE IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE.
My car floor mat agrees. I’ve washed it ten times and only after getting a special cat urine removing spray it stopped smelling like a hobo.
If it was the seat or it leaked into the carpet I’d be fucked.
I got my cushy mattress cover back from the cleaners yesterday and made my bed. All afternoon I was looking forward to getting into it. Nice dinner with my honey, bottle of wine, get ready for bed, WTF!!! Through the waterproof (ha!) cover that i keep on the bed, through the bedspread, through the sheets, into the mattress cover that i just paid $35 to have cleaned!!!
Uhh *looks around fearfully at other comments* c-congrats!
This isnt cute.
Encouraging this behavior is setting your cats up for a miserable, awful, torturous death.
And when it happens, It will be 100% your fault and you will find no respite from the blame.
