What it looks like is an image you are gonna look at and realize how stupid you were in retrospect when the inevitable tragedy occurs from allowing your pets to treat a washer/dryer as a fun place to play and hide.
“but I always check first!” Yeah, until you are busy one day and don’t. Then you beat and broil your pet to death in the most cruel and inhumane way possible.
No idea how many times I’ve seen pictures like this, that inevitably…Maybe a week, maybe a month… maybe a year later, inevitably end up with tragedy and sobbing, and absolute refusal to take any personal responsibility for what they did.
When I still had my cat‡ making sure the dryer was closed after every load and empty before closed was something I got on my roommate’s ass about a lot
He had a hard time remembering it at first but after the first couple weeks he started remembering.
‡My cat passed away a few months ago at 18 years old. Not dryer related. He was as spry as a kitten until the last 3 months where everything went downhill fast. He passed away in July. I miss that little snuggle bug.
An old friend, back when I was 17/18 or so, told me about the last time she had a kitten.
The kitten somehow got into the WASHER and her busy and absent-minded mother didn’t realize it until the kitten had already drowned. Her mother drove herself (and the kitten) to the police department because she felt so bad.
After that I have always checked for cats. Even now, at almost 40 (I even check the oven)! My husband thinks it’s over-kill, but I’m never gonna get that horror story out of my head
Look all I’m saying is, turn it in with 0 heat for like 2 seconds with a few towels and those cats will never go near that thing again for the rest of their lives without being hurt
This was our poor cat. It never even occurred to us it might be something that could happen. He never went near the dryer before, and after a 2 second tumble he never did again. To be clear, he survived.
If your dog is ever running and you can't catch them act hurt. Pretend to fall and hurt your knee. Most likely it will come back and check on you and you grab it, unless it's playing with something else then good luck
Cats can be remarkably affectionate to our little ones. The crazy thing is, we had two cats and the personable cat didn't care about our newborn, but our shy afraid-of-everything cat wouldn't let her out of his sight. Two years later he's still with us, and he's guarding my second kid as I type this.
First thing you want to teach Great Dane is not to jump on you. They are big and heavy dogs who don’t realize they are big and heavy. Add playfulness to that and it’s a recipe for hurt.
We were camping in a provincial park once and it was obvious that the squirrels were well fed by campers as they had zero fear. This one squirrel decided to do literally everything with us at our campsite that week. Sitting by the fire? Cool, gonna sit on your foot. Eating lunch? Don't mind if I do. Doing a crossword puzzle? I'll sit on the corner of the paper and chatter at you.
It was all fun and games until we went into the tent for some sexxors, left the flap partially unzipped because of the warm weather, and said squirrel decided to hop in the tent to see what we were doing and then RAN over my bare back in an attempt to escape. He got mad and sat on the roof of the car and did his squirrel noises at me for a while until I fed him again.
aww
