  Speaker 1: All right, this is going to freak you out if
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: you're a pet owner. So Seema parven is joining us.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: A cat owner originally from San Francisco, now living in Melbourne.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Her cat Minim had to brush with death.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: He survived four hours in a clothes dryer.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: On high heat.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: She now wants to warn other pet owners always check
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: your dryers and washing machines before they run.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: She is joining us right now, see.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Me, and you've got your beautiful cat Minim on zoom
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: live with us.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Hello, good morning, good morning, thanks for having me.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Oh how's he doing? Look at him now?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Obviously he's survived and everything's okay. But what the hell happened?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Tell us what went about?
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Oh it was a freak, I guess, a freak accident.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: I was trying to dry a douna and it wasn't
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: drying properly. So I left the door open for about
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: maybe five ten minutes. Tops I left it slightly a jar,
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: thinking oh it's I haven't left it open enough for
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: any cat to go in there. And Minim had never
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: shown any interest, and it was slight enough that he
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: got in about me.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Noticing, and then you put it on, so you had
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: no idea. So you closed the drawer and put it
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: on for what four hours?
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: So I was out for four hours, so I put
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: it on my dryer. Does it by weight? It wasn't
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: reading the DONA correctly the night before, and so we'll
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: never know how long it actually he tumbled for because
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: I ended up going and dropping my child off at
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: kinder and then going off to work for a bit.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: And when I came back, which was about four hours later,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: he wasn't asleep in his little cat house, and I
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: was like, we're minim because he usually spend most of
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: his days there, and I all his name right away,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: and then I heard a little scratch and me out
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: come from the dryer, and my heart sank.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, no, I'm imagining things.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: And then I opened the door and he was just
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: standing there on top of the don now, and he
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: seemed normal at first, but then I picked him up
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: and he had clearly vomited and was panting, and so
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: then I threw him in the cat carrier and went
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: running to the emergency vets.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I bet you were freaking out. And then when you
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: took him into the emergency vet, how was he?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: What? What condition? Was he enofter being in the dryer.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: He was severely dehydrated. He had a tail injury. He
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: they tried. They treated him for possible pneumonia because they
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: because he's a squishy face, they assumed he probably swallowed
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: a lot of his vomit with pneumonia, and then they
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: treated him for like lots of bruising. His eyes were sullen,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: his mouth was s fllen, his tongue was really bruise,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: and he would get out of sorts. His temperature body
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: temperature kept going up and down, and he was sort
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: of it was all if he react to the medicine
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: and the oxygen tank because he put they put him
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: in a little octygen room, then we'll.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Hope for the best. But yes, it was just touch
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: and go.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet you thought you were you were gonna
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: losing broad and then you would have blamed yourself that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Hey got into that dryer.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Oh I blame myself Automatically. I was like, oh my god,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: I can't believe I just portrayed my cat. I rescued
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: him about nine months ago, and yes, I was once
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: he once the events took him back, I.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Had a really good, ugly cry.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: It was like, I can't believe this has happened, and
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: he had just tried to figure out what was what
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: was going to occur.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Apparently he's the after after he made a miraculess recovery.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Apparently he's the only cat that's ever gone through the
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: doors of the Lord Smith and survived.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Really, so this is quite common. Say, this happens quite
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a bit. Is that what you were told?
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, it happens quite a bit. And as a cat owner,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: I knew. I knew, I've heard about it as well,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: and always assumed, oh, it'll never happen to me. I'm
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: I'm so diligent with my animals, and yeah, and then
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: and then it did, and clearly he was just so quiet,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: and it was so quick, and he's never shown any
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: interest in the dryer or the washer. At times, I
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: do leave the door open just to air it out,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: always check inside because I've done so. And this day
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: I just thought, oh, it wasn't left open enough for
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: anyone to go in there, and and little mcnumb.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Had, Yeah, I mean, you're really making me think now,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: because I've got to count at home, and I have
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a washing machine that is right next to where her
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: littery is and quite like you don't think, really, you
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: just dump if you dump the clothes in there, right,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and then go and do something else and then come
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: back and turn it on.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: The cat could be in there, and it's the last
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: thing you think of.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Like you just run around the house, you're doing this
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and that, and then you get to the dry throw
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a few things in and you walk away.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: You press that button, you walk away, and there's no
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: way you would ever think no.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: And like I reckon, a little puppy could do it
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: So if you're a dog owner, i'd keep I'd keep
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a watch out for that.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: How is he doing? How's men I'm doing?
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I can see him on screen. Let me have I
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: love cats. Let me have a look at him. Oh,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: he is gorgeous.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: He's very cute. He's doing really well. Surprisingly.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, even when he was still at the vets,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: they I think everyone was a bit shocked at how
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: quickly he had recovered. He was demanding food and pats
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: apparently from day one, and he's been doing the.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Same since he's come home.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: He's demanding lots of treats and lots of even now
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: in the middle of the night when he sort of
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: hits me with his paw.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I'll wake up and give him a good old pat
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: in the middle of the night. And yet he's just
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: back to his normal self.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I come.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that he's all right. Thirty and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: one oh six five. By the way, has this happened
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to anyone else? Or has your family pet got caught
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in something? Did they run under the house? Did they
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: have they hidden? Could you not find them? Want to
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: hear from you on thirteen one oh six five? What
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: happened to your family pet? Has anyone else been through
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: something like this?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I'm glad it's all right.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: So what is your message to everyone that owns a
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: cat or a small puppy?
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Always check.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Even if you think, oh, it could never happen to me,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I'm diligent.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: My cat's never shown any interest or my animal. It
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: can happen in a second. And especially I guess if
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: you keep the door open and you're running around like
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: I was getting ready for the day, just a quick
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: check and it can see.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: The like, oh, absolutely, And I bet you're very paranoid.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Now when it's time to put the dryer or the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: washing on. You probably check bloody thirteen times before you
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: turn it on.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I've left the doors completely closed, and yeah I count.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: I'll count my cats, and then I'll put the stuff
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: in and then still rummage in there. I'm like, I
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: think minimum and everyone involved is forever paranoid.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet Seema Parvin. Thank you so much.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that Minim's doing all right and a good
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: message to put out there to ever. I'm check before
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you turn the dryer or the washing machine on. Thanks
• 7:12

• 7:14
  Speaker 1: having us
