Animal Problem

[Lord Flathead]

A friend has had a bit of an accident in one of my clients houses today involving her cat

Apparently while he went to the van for some spares her cat jumped in the tumble dryer which he was working on. He returned to the machine, closed the door and started it to test the drying cycle. As the fault on the card said "noises while drying" it appears he allowed the program to run for about 10 minutes before realising that the machine was not responsibile for the noises.

To make matter worse, the lady of the house had 7 cats in total and was rather a 'cat' person. My friend is concerned that there might be legal action and was rather non-plussed about the whole event, so can anyone advise if there is a likely to be any chance of a legal case given that the cat put itself in the machine?

I fear this thread might go horribly wrong but I am sure that one or two proper answers will make it through

He'll be hung out to dry.

Did it shrink?


Sorry, but I did laugh. I know I'm going to hell...

He's non-plussed. Are we to asssume she's non-pussed now?

No, it survived.

Apparently if the machine had been set to 'sensor dry' it would have stopped almost immediately as the machine works out how wet the load is.. cat was dry, cat was very dry!

I think you'd be alright. Not much of a witness, your average moggy.

That'll be an experience cat will not forget any time soon.

I can't see him being sued. Although could have paid more attention perhaps. But who can predict such thing to happen?
