Just how LONG was that washing machine cycle?

Lucky cat. Years ago, we had one that liked to sleep in the dryer. In that case, not so lucky :-(

My BS meter is buried. Most wash cycles are nowhere near two hours. Did the lady wash the cat multiple times? I have treated cats that got caught in the washers and dryers. The outcome is not very successful in many of the cases.

Search for San Francisco explosion.

It was a research lab, and a mixture of methane, nitrogen, and helium exploded, killing the scientist and injuring a woman who was nearby.

Huh, the link says, “1-dead-2-hurt...,” but the title of the article says, “1 Dead, 1 Hurt In Menlo Park Explosion & Fire.”
