Poor cat! SIXTY MINUTES??? And survived? Hopefully it was an old rickety machine like we used to have (it agitated in slow motion). The newer models whip back & forth so fast it's a miracle that poor kitten survived that. Not to mention the spin cycle. I always keep appliance doors shut, and check before using the dryer...one second of turning my back to get more clothes to throw in, and a cat could be in. Geesh...have to watch them!
