Eight-week-old Milo disappeared at Ginny Troth's house in Astwood Bank, Redditch, Worcestershire, and bedded down in the laundry for a cat-nap. But Mrs Troth unwittingly switched on the machine for a spin wash and only realised where the inquisitive tabby might be about halfway through the cycle.

Milo could not open his eyes, had water on his lungs and was hypothermic. But with regular treatment, after about three days he had regained his appetite and was back to his playful self.

I once loaded a dryer and my cat snuck into it when I wasn't looking. Luckily, the thing survived that experience.

A cabbie picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab driver won't stop staring at her.

She asks him why he is staring. He replies: "I have a question to ask you, but I don't want to offend you".

She answers, " My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."

"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."

She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that:

#1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic."

The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"

"OK" the nun says. "Pull into the next alley."

The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

"My dear child," said the nun, why are you crying?"

"Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied. I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish."

The nun says, "That's OK, my name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party."

When my daughter was about 2, she hid the kitty in the dryer. I heard some pitiful mewing and found her before anything bad happened.

cat naps
and suds
kitty's in the duds

spinning in the miele
while poor mrs troth
can only watch
fur and froth
till the dam*ed
machine unlocks.

glad kitty survived the mandatory locking of the nanny machinery which saves one from one's own stupidity of dumping water on the floor but dampens the alacrity of rescue.

Milo could not open his eyes, had water on his lungs and was hypothermic.

As I said on the other thread, it just needed a cycle in the dryer...
