If Your Dryer is Making Weird Noises...

scary things these critters do.
Had a cat that would paw the bottom dresser drawer open a crack, squeeze in, wiggle up inside to her favorite drawer and sleep there. Surprize!
When the plumber opened the wall to get to some pipes, ALL the idiot cats thought that squeezing through there into the space around the inside walls of the fiberglass bathtubs was a real nice place to stay. I bet the plumber wondered at all the cat hair.

They have a talent for going into any hole just as I return with the patch kit.

My BF had a cat that would lift the door to his cockatiels cage (it was one of those big parrot cages) and sleep in the bottom of it.
Obviously the cat didn't bother the birds and the birds didn't care but the reason they figured the cat did it was because it could sleep in peace. The dog loved to bug it.

Poor kitty! My cat stepped on the stove once... but other than that, she hasn't gotten any major traumatization from appliances.

However, my mom did vacuum her once, she is scared to DEATH of the vacuum cleaner now.

Ohhhh,some of these stories are making me wonder if I should get a kitty....

I was playing with these cute 7-week-old kittens at PetSmart yesterday.Cats have always seemed to like me,even before I lost my dog to skin cancer*

But these guys were scared.They were squirming at scrathing like,

"WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?!?WHERE AM I?!?WHERE'S MY MOMMA?!?"

*sigh*They'll get used to it.

(*Cancer runs in the family,it even gets my family's pets,so this kitten would probably get cancer as a 12-year-old cat and have to be put down like my dog did,with my luck.)

Two stories:

One: A friend of mine in high school dried his pet bird (can't rememeber the type now). He was in the dryer for several minutes before someone heard him and rescued him. His name before the incident was Fred, he was never quite right after the dryer incident so his name was changed to Derf.

Two: When I was in college I carried a Calico cat home to my Mom. Abby was an excellent mouser and was always bringing stuff home to be admired. A few weeks before my dad passed away, Abby went missing. No one was exactly sure when they last saw her. We searched around for her but didn't find her. We assumed one of the neighborhood dogs had gotten her. Several days later my Dad wakes up one morning and tells my mom that he had a dream about Abby the night before. He dreamed that she was sitting on the front porch meowing. He told mom that he thought she should search around the yard one more time for her. Mom did so. As she neared the very back of the back yard, she heard a faint meow. She paused and listened several times and finally decided that the meow was coming from the back of a junk car in the edge of the pasture field behind the house. She rushed back in the house and searched for the keys to the car. When she finally found them, she opened the trunk and out jumped a very skinny, very hungry Abby.

When we finally put together what had happened, my brother had opened the trunk to get a tire jack out of it two weeks before we found Abby. The day after he got out the tire jack, my dad looked out the window, saw the trunk was still open and went out to close it. It was starting to rain so he just closed the lid and headed back into the house. Our best guess is that she was in the trunk for about 12 days.

Surprisingly, she was no worse for her stay in the trunk. She quickly gained her weight back and went back to being herself.

Wow! That second story is amazing. What a lucky cat!

At my old house my lawn mower was kept in a shed in my back yard. One day when I opened the door to get it out a cat came flying past me so fast that it scared the daylights out of me. It was my neighbors cat, the poor thing had been in there for about 8 days in 100 degree weather with no food or water. I felt awful and after that ALWAYS checked before closing the shed.

The dryer thing.... Yes, I have done that too, and it wasn't good. See I had jeans in the dryer and thought the clunking was that so I didn't make the discovery for an hour. Worse, it was my BF (at the time) sons cat. The son was more forgiving than the BF. Now I always check and recheck!
