Cute but be careful. I lost a cat this way. It was in the dryer and my mom didn't know and started it.

Same here, just a kitten at the time :/ granted there were 5 kittens running around the house so not easy to keep track of all, especially with chaotic kids (yours truly) and daily chores, work etc

We're really careful about checking the washer & dryer before we start it everytime! Honestly this sneaky cat gets into many places she shouldn't be. It's just habit now

I'm sorry. It's never easy and it is never malicious. Just a tragic accident.

Half of the comments here being about kitties that accidentally passed away in dryers is sad. Sorry to anyone who's had to go through that 😭

Phoebe is a rockstar though.

This reminds me of a cat that I used to have that my grandmother was babysitting. She liked to sleep in the dryer and one day grandma didnt notice she was in there...

How do I delete someone else’s comment?

Shoo kitty out and keep doors closed at all times. Not a place for cats, as evidenced by the number of stories in this post about it

I also know someone that killed their cat accidentally in this manner, it's possible
