SYDNEY - A PERSIAN kitten gave her owners the shock of their
lives when she emerged from the washing machine, dizzy and
bedraggled after surviving a full cycle.
Brendon Rogers, from Manly Vale, Sydney, said four-month-old
Kimba, a white, fluffy kitten, must have climbed into the
front-loader machine when the door was open and curled up on the
dirty clothes - unknown to his father Lyndsay who turned the
machine on for a cold wash.
They were both amazed when the cycle - including a high level
spin - finished and they opened the door to pull out the clothes to
find Kimba in the machine.
'We could hardly believe our eyes when she emerged, looking like
a drowned rat,' he told Reuters.
Although Kimba was alive she clearly needed help so they rushed
her to the vet where she was put on an intravenous drip and treated
for shock and hypothermia. Her eyes were also badly affected by the
detergent and needed treatment.
'It is just amazing that she survived but we reckon she's used
all of her nine lives,' said Mr Rogers. -- REUTERS
