Hi, I'm so sorry for your troubles. Probably by now you've calmed down some. Yes, our little furry friends sure can push our buttons from time to time.

So, is Chip the little black one (at the end) that is your sig photo? He's cute.

Make sure he (or none of the others) can get in the vent hole & escape or get hung in the opening.

Is there any way to block the dryer from them? I was afraid Luke would go behind my dryer & get stuck because he's so big. So, I lodged a narrow trash can (plastic one) between the dryer & the wall & then stacked some containers on top to keep him from going back there. However, your cats might be skinnier & more active & inquisitive than Luke. Luke is too fat to jump up on dryer.. one good thing for being plump I guess.

Anyway I hope everything will be ok. Just calm down & think about how to "fix" (if possible) what Chip did. Again, I'm sorry and can understand your frustration. Kay in NC

I've been trying to keep cats from behind that dryer since I moved in in 2006. I've put boxes between the wall and dryer, they just go over the dryer then jump and grab on the back and pull themselves out that way.

The dryer vent flap on the outside of the house was put on so it opens sidewise insead of up and down. I keep a rock inside the cover to hold the flap down when I'm not using the dryer to keep cold air out and mice type critters from coming in so the cats can't get out of it. They are too fat to get even their heads out anyway, (I'm hoping).

Yep, Chip is the one on top of my siggy and Chuck is the one on the bottom. They are both lots bigger now.
