A Persian kitten gave her owners the shock of their lives when she emerged from the washing machine, dizzy and bedraggled after surviving a full cycle.
Brendon Rogers, from Manly Vale, Sydney, said four-month-old Kimba, a white, fluffy kitten, must have climbed into the front-loader machine when the door was open and curled up on the dirty clothes — unbeknownst to his father Lyndsay who turned the machine on for a cold wash.
They were both amazed when the cycle — including a high level spin — finished and they opened the door to pull out the clothes to find Kimba in the machine.
