Cat in a spin
Curiosity nearly killed the cat after a kitten climbed into a washing machine that was then switched on.
Eight-week-old Milo disappeared at Ginny Troth's house in Astwood Bank, Redditch, Worcestershire, and bedded down in the laundry for a cat-nap. But Mrs Troth unwittingly switched on the machine for a spin wash and only realised where the inquisitive tabby might be about halfway through the cycle.
Milo could not open his eyes, had water on his lungs and was hypothermic. But with regular treatment, after about three days he had regained his appetite and was back to his playful self.
