Cat Survives 10-Minute Cycle in Washing Machine: What Happened.

According to ТСН: In China, an unusual incident occurred: a cat survived after getting stuck in the drum of a washing machine. Only minor injuries serve as a reminder of this astonishing ordeal.

A video that gained popularity was posted by a user with the nickname @jiemodaxiaojie. The owner of the cat was shocked when she found her pet inside the washing machine while taking out the laundry.

The Ordeal

The cat named Jintiao was in the drum during an entire washing cycle that lasted over 10 minutes. After this, the only 'injury' was a bright red nose. The video shows a wet and trembling cat approaching its owner.

The woman noted that at first she hesitated to touch the cat as she didn't know if it was injured. However, in the video, the cat appears healthy, and after the woman dried it with a hairdryer, it recovered.

Online Criticism

The owner promised to be more careful while using the washing machine in the future. However, she received criticism online for her negligence. Some users accused her of animal cruelty.

“Seeing her cat stuck in the washing machine for a few minutes, she didn't immediately check its condition or take it to the vet, but filmed the cat, saying she was too afraid to touch it. She should never be allowed to have a cat,” one commenter noted.

Another added: “It might be unwise to touch the cat without knowing if it has internal injuries.”

Many urged the woman to take Jintiao to the vet immediately to check for possible undiscovered injuries. She did not respond to these calls and did not reveal whether the cat underwent a veterinary check-up.

A commenter also advised all pet owners to always check the drum of the washing machine before use.

Earlier, we wrote about ways to reduce cats' anxiety before a vet visit. Experts recommend placing fresh herbal scents, such as lemon balm or mint, in the carrier, which can calm the animal. The natural aroma of these herbs helps create a gentle sedative effect, calming the cat's nervous system and making the environment more familiar and safe.

This incident with Jintiao serves as a reminder of how important it is to pay attention to our pets. Every little detail can impact their well-being, and it is worth taking precautions to avoid similar situations in the future. It's also advisable to take into account the specialists' recommendations for pet care to ensure their comfort and safety in everyday life.
