VERY lucky cat! I check the dryer 3 or 4 times to make sure Pepper isn't in there. So far, no one has shown an interest in the washing machine.

A few months ago, a lady posted on the www.petloss.com message board that she was having a very hard time forgiving herself for killing her cat. She wanted to fluff up her down comforter, so she scooped it up not realizing her kitty was underneath and put it in the dryer for about 20 minutes. Her poor kitty was tumbled to death. I'm not sure I would ever get over something like that.
