Kitten Found in a Running Washing Machine - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.

Pop Quiz- what do you put in your washing machine? Clothes, ofcourse! Well how about a kitten?


That became a reality for a kitten named Tinker who found her way into a washing machine without the owners' knowledge and they only realized this during a wash cycle.


The incident took place in Mayfield, Scotland.


When the owner noticed Tinker inside the machine, she "was soaked right through and her eyes had clouded over."


She was quickly taken to a veterinary clinic and fortunately, she survived the ordeal. It's a good reminder for all of us to carefully check before starting a wash cycle. Such incidents are not as rare as one would imagine.


As reported by The Local, a Swedish boy wanted to check out the inside of a washing machine but then couldn't get out.
It took six rescue workers 2 hours to get the boy out. Because of the way he was stuck, they had to dismantle the entire machine gradually and very carefully.

Then there was a 3-year-old boy in China who found himself trapped in the drum of a washing machine. Rescuers used saws to remove him.
