Misha is going for a spin

One day, my wife had opened the dryer, removed a piece of clothing, and left it open. I saw it later, closed the dryer, reran it and walked off.

I heard a thump, which caused me to pause for a few seconds. I heard a very faint, distressed meow a few seconds later, just as I was walking off.

If I had walked away any faster I’d have lost a kitty.
