Cats and Dryers Don't Mix

Maybe You’ve Never Seen a Cat Climb Into a Dryer.
We hadn’t either, until ours did. He slipped in without us knowing. He was in there for 20 minutes. He survived. We were devastated and embarrassed. It only takes one time. Please don’t wait for a close call. Help us raise awareness and keep pets safe. |
It happened to us...

This is Yardstick. He has three legs.
One night, he crawled into a warm load of towels and curled up inside the drum. Nobody knew. The door closed, the dryer started, and for 20 minutes Yardstick tumbled inside. When we found him, he was panting, bleeding, and burning up — temperature at 109°. We rushed him to the emergency vet. He came home with burns, a cut tongue, and a limp tail. He made it. A lot of cats don't. Our vet wasn't surprised. She'd seen it before. Too many times. |
