BC, my old lady cat, hopped into the dryer when she was about 1 year old. Mom put the laundry in on top of her unknowingly, and started the dryer. "Thump, ker-thump" and mom openedthe dryer to check out what on earth wasit she had put in the dryer to make that noise, and like a bullet from a gun, out shot BC. She never did that again.
I bet she didn't! Yikes!
My cat goes into the dryer after the clothes are already dry....nice and warm in there. 'Course then everything ends up loaded with cat fur again.
