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 —
unbeknownst 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 Rogers.
