do you

stick your head into your clothes dryer and call out your cat(s)' names before closing the door and turning on the dryer?

I do and I always keep the dryer door shut. I've even gone around the house and done kitty head counts before hitting that on button

 

I always keep the door shut. Whenever I do laundry, Moe is not usually in the room, so I've never had to worry about that. Plus I leave either machine open and unattended.

 

I always keep it shut too, but my hubby is horrible for not only leaving it open, but for leaving clothes in there as well. That's like an ingraved invitation for a cat LOL Every time I find it open, I take the clothes out and make sure it's empty before I close it.

I suppose I can't complain to hubby about it though. At least he's a doll when it comes to doing laundry when I'm under the weather

 

The dryer is in the basement here and my cats don't have access to the basement so I've never had to worry about that.

 

No, because the only dryer in our lives right now is the one at the laundromat. :lol:

If we had one, though, I'm sure I would be extra careful about making sure that Luna didn't get into it.

 

Yay! A good excuse to post the latest Kyrre picture
We always keep it closed, but one day I opened it before i went to get the dirty clothes.
This is the sight that met me when I got back, three seconds later... :mrgreen:

 

That's too funny Bente! I always stick my arm into the washer and dryer to make sure there are no kitties or toddlers in there. 8)

 

ROFL! Great pic, Bente!

I don't know what amazes me more... how incredibly sweet Kyrre looks sitting in there, or that incredible high-tech dryer you have! Can you surf the net with that thing too? :lol:

 

Yes I check everytime I put on the washing machine! Even if its been closed just in case somebody opened it and a cat climbed in there, I have also been known to to a head count before it goes on - better safe than sorry !

 

I keep mine closed too but I fear someone sneaking into the dryer while I'm taking clothes out of the washer and putting into the dryer :roll: so I stick my head in there and look around

 

Before I turn on the dryer I make sure I know where both of the kitties are. Hunter follows me to the basement to do the laundry, so I always make sure I have seen him before I hit start.

 

I keep the door shut, too and also check when I put things in the dryer because my kitties have gone in there when I'm getting ready to put stuff in it.

Cute picture, Bente.

 

I guess I'm lucky i never really worry about that. I only have one kitty and we don't ever leave her with the dog unsupervised so i'm always very aware of where she is especially when the dog is home. But she does like to sit and watch me switching the machines The only thing she ever tried to get into was the fridge. I was cleaning it out and she jumped inside on the bottom shelf. I shut the door for about 3 seconds and when i opened the door, out bolted a cold kitty and she's never tried it since :lol:

 

Not only do I double-check the dryer, but I check the washer (eventhough there is really no way for a cat to get in there), I check outside when I leave the house, I check everywhere! Heck, I think I checked in the fridge once.

I guess it's better to be paranoid than to not check and have one hurt cat!

 

LOLOL too funny!!! i agree!!

but about my dryer... it's an apartment sized one, and stackable.. so it's up too high yet for Raz to find it. Lex.. lex dont care lol

 

lol mine too..one of these days i am gonna break down and buy one..but then my boys wil have to find somewhere else to eat..bc my little laundry room houses kitty dishes and litter boxes...lol

 

Well, today I took the towels out of the dryer and remembered something I had to get in the next room. I went out real quick and came right back and this was what I found.

Naughty Socks

 

Heh heh such cute pictures!! That oughta be our next pic contest theme...Cats caught getting into things they shouldn't and they know it.
It would be fun because those are always cute pictures plus it'd make it a little bit *harder* because catching them with a camera in hand is harder. Especially when they KNOW they're gonna be in trouble!! :mrgreen:

 

my first thought was I have never heard of such a thing but whall talking to my mother In law she told me this funny story

they have this beauty of a kitty she got it at a shelter up here because they had none on the cape when she was looking for a kitten

well it is a russin blue with a tiny bit of simise(sp?) this Is why he was in the shelter to begin with because he was not FULL russin blue there loss!
wonderful cat you pick it up & it will hug you by putting both paws around your neck & needing you
you try & put him down & he squeeses your neck to let you know that he is not done with your hug
my husband ended up holding him for over an hour over the holiday
& my mother in law had to do a car check to make sure no one was going home with him cause we all tease her that were going to seal him he is such a love well anyway he is also a jumper & will jump from the floor to my dad in laws shoulders like nothing
well today my mother in law was emptying the dryer & brought the laundery into her bed room where she folds the laundery
well my farther in law went to shut the dryer door & guess who was in the dryer?? moxi

she has a piggie back washer &dryer & the dryer is on the top silly cat

this Is him on the day that they got him he is now 9 months old

 

What a great pic of "naughty" Socks.

Kathy. It's a good thing you don't live near me. I'm very tempted to steal the kitty! :mrgreen:
