On January 6, the news “Cat Found in Washing Machine After 2 Minutes” went viral, sparking heated discussions.
On January 3, in a household in Sichuan, the owner was preparing to do laundry as usual. When she placed the clothes in the washing machine and started the machine, she did not notice that her pet cat had quietly slipped into the machine as well.
After about two minutes of washing, the owner opened the washing machine to check on the laundry progress, only to unexpectedly discover the cat trapped inside the drum.
Despite the short and perilous experience, the cat seemed to have not suffered serious injuries. The owner immediately stopped the washing machine operation and quickly carried the wet and startled cat out of the machine.
To ensure the safety and health of the cat, the owner promptly contacted a nearby pet hospital for professional assistance. After an initial check-up by the vet, the cat, apart from showing some stress reactions, was found to be unharmed and soon recovered its vitality.

She also reminded other pet owners to always ensure the safety of their pets before using household appliances to avoid similar unfortunate incidents.
Following the incident, some netizens expressed sorrow upon seeing such news. Every pet is a member of the family, and they deserve sufficient care and protection rather than being exposed to unnecessary risks.
