Yup, doing laundry all normal, couple minutes later panic where are the cats? Oh god somehow they slipped past me and clearly dying in the dryer fuck fuck fuck, get up and look around for cats phew ok they're fine.
this time
Yeah, those rascals love to give anxiety all the time.
I don't know about your cats but mine have shown no interest in wet laundry, or dirty laundry, only fresh warm dry laundry. But since my building's laundry room is in the basement I don't really have experience with having a machine in the house.
When I had kids I would fold the laundry down there, for a few quiet moments of feeling organized. Now I bring it up immediately and chirrup as I dump it on the spare bed so the cats can enjoy it first.
My cats will happily sit in a hamper with dirty clothes, they really like new surfaces to sit on in grneral. We have a ahem cleanup towel and our big orange loves to sit on that thing for some reason lmao.
My washing machine is always closed and my cats have no interest in it. Even still I always check where they both are before turning it on, a sense of dread grows on me every time even though I never had an accident, I don't know why.
