Lucky kitten survives washing machine spin at 50C for almost an hour
A kitten escaped death by a whisker after almost an hour spinning in a washing machine on a 50C cycle. Mischievous Poppet hid in the laundry while owner Laura Gilholme’s back was turned. But she ended up in the drum with the dirty clothes.
Laura, 27, said: “I was halfway through putting in a load and she must have jumped into the machine.
"I only realized what had happened when the wash finished and I’d opened the door. She was unconscious and my neighbor tried to do mouth-to-mouth on her but then we rushed her to the vets. There was no response from her, we really thought she’d died.”
But vet John Gunn revived Poppet and nursed her to health.
The lucky black cat is now back at home in Audenshaw, Manchester, with Laura and her daughter Megan, six. But it seems Poppet has not learned her lesson.
Laura added: “The first thing she did when she got home was jump straight into the dryer, so we know she’s back to being her usual mischievous self.”
Vet John said that Poppet was an “incredibly lucky cat”.
He added: “I really didn’t think she had a hope. She definitely used up one of her nine lives. This should serve as a gentle reminder to pet owners with young animals."
