Title: Horrible scare today
Post by: karenjet on January 29, 2010, 21:23:04 PM
 I'd ordered some new curtains online, they came today and I put them in the tumble dryer to take the creases out before hanging them, put it on and thought it was very noisy but thought it was the metal eyelet holes making the noise, was a good minute before I checked and Daisy was in there  :'(
She is absolutely fine, washed herself then curled up in her radiator bed and went to sleep but I feel so awful. I could've killed her. Been so angry with myself all day cos I always do a head count of the cats before turning on the washing machine or dryer but for some reason I didn't today.

Will cuddle the lil princess extra tightly in bed tonight

It was the most horrible feeling in the world. It could've been so different.

She's perfect, totally unfazed, thank God. I swear that lil lady's a miracle puss, when Jasmine was having her she had to be rushed for a caesarean because Daisy was still inside 10 hours after her brothers were born, the vet told me the kitten would be dead but Daisy was healthy and perfect  :Luv:

They are both so cute - is that after she was tumble dried??

Post by: karenjet on January 30, 2010, 22:18:44 PM
Yeah the tumble dryer thing was yesterday, these were taken today. She doesn't even seem scared of the dryer, laid on top of it when it was on earlier as she always does

Thanks everyone, she's in much the same spot today cos she doesn't like snow.

That's awful for your friend, Shiroi-Neko. I'm so glad it was the dryer and not the washing machine, at least with the dryer I could open the door straight away. I can imagine how your friend feels :(

one reason I always keep the kitchen door shut - they'll come in to scrounge food if I'm making a sandwich but otherwise they know it's not really somewhere they should be.  Reinforced by the fact that's where we take them if we have to give them drops, wormers etc - we have to pin Cosmo down so he can't escape to do even the smallest thing :tired:

Glad she's ok now :hug:

god how awful for you - like you say at least you could open the door straight away - thank goodness none of mine every show any interest in either but I do keep both doors shut

OMG how scary for you  :hug:

I am so paranoid about doing that, but neither of mine have ever shown any interest but it still worries me.

I thought that myself, Helen, Jasmine will be keeping an eye on her babas

I wish I could close the door of the kitchen for several reasons but my kitchen and dining room is all open plan and most of the cat beds are in the dining room. Daisy has gone in the dryer a couple of times but not for a long time. As I said I usually check the machines and do a head count but didn't that time for some reason. Now I've gone the opposite way and am paranoid about putting the dryer on at all!
