about 22yrs agoI was about 7 at the time my mum was doing the washing one day and forgot my dads shirt so proceeded to go up stairs and get it got back down threw the shirt in and started the cycle, how ever long later she went to empty the machine and pulled out a stone dead 7 or 8 week old kitten my sister had got for her birthday a week previous.
She couldn't bring herself to tell us for at least a week and we had my dad climbing trees and putting up 'lost' signs etc until she told us. when she did
all I could say was: what am I going to tell my friends!
all dad said was: at least it was clean!!
More recently a similar thing happened to a friend of mums except it was a tumble drier - the owners had to throw the machine away as the cat had virtually disintegrated inside..
