Thanks again guys.

It is a nightmare. I have read about this, know the dangers, and am neurotic about checking things (oven,fridge,freezer,drawers,washer and dryer). But I slipped up. Biggest mistake of my life.

Cindy, thank God it is away from the pets. I wish mine were. I never thought this could happen to me, or Andy.

None of mine will EVER go near a washer/dryer again. I am installing a door ASAP to be positive, I pray you all will too, just for the off chance this CAN happen...

I do have high hopes, I believe in God and the power of prayer. I believe he knows how much I love my cats, and how I would be destroyed if I were to lose one. I get physically ill just thinking about losing one, and I know one day it will happen. That makes me crazy, and then I feel like I should never have had pets, because it would be torture to lose one. Esp. in a tragic way.

Anyways, I will keep the updates coming, as often as possible. I will call back the vets for updates every hour. I hope my boy is ok, and comes home, back to a meowmie who treasures him, and siblings who love him dearly.

He will be one SPOILED kitty once he gets home. And he WILL get home I already set up my spare room, (Sorry Splinter, bathroom for you!) with nice plush LARGE dog beds, and some toys. He will be in there for awhile, so he can heal up and get stronger ( and be the only one with as much canned food as he can eat!)

Thank you all again. And keep the prayers coming. We arent out of the woods yet.
