Rinse Cycle Hard on Cats
This cataclysmic catastrophe was caused by a roommate leaving the laundry room. While getting some more laundry, Natasha the cat, who was always curious about the washer, jumped in.
Thirty-five minutes later, a completely clean cat emerged. Treated for hypothermia and shock, this is not the weirdest insurance claim of the 80,000 submitted in December to a popular pet insurance company.
Here are two other award-winning claims paid by the company.
"The VPI Hambone Award is named in honor of a VPI-insured dog that got stuck in a refrigerator and ate an entire Thanksgiving ham while waiting for someone to rescue him.
The dog was eventually found, with a licked-clean ham bone and a mild case of hypothermia. This quirky title was first awarded in 2009 to "Lulu," a hungry English bulldog who swallowed 15 baby pacifiers, a bottle cap and a piece of a basketball."

Natasha got another honor from the vet -- "The most pleasant smelling pet treated ever treated."

I'm not sure, but I've heard that it has always been considered as a good idea to keep your pussies clean and smelling fresh.

Although it has nothing to do with washing pets, I got to thinking about a Joe Walsh tune, "All Night Laundromat Blues."

She is a beautiful kitty. Lucky she didn't drown, poor baby!
