    God, I knew someone who accidentally killed a kitten this way, and the guilt really ruined their mental health.

      Happened to my aunt who didn’t notice young kitten go in there before turning it on.

        So horrible. In the 15 years I’ve had cats, I always, ALWAYS check. Better to check a thousand times without need, than to live with that regret.

      My mother nearly did this to her cat. Luckily she heard after a single rotation and flung herself at the machine and got the very upset cat out.

      It’s why my entire laundry room is forbidden to cats, and is checked every time anyway.
