I just went to switch the laundry from the washer to the dryer and right inside the space where you put the fabric softener, in the top of the middle spindle/spinner thinger, there's a pink toy mouse, one of the cat's toys. Not entirely sure how it got up there - how it got *into* the washer isn't a mystery, since it was most likely sitting in the dirty clothes and got tossed in - but the spindle/spinner thinger goes almost all the way up to the lid of the washing machine, with just a very small clearance. It wasn't in there when I started it since I put fabric softener in. Guess it got flung around during the spin cycle. Strange, that.

I think I'm going to toss it - it got a lot of fabric softener on it, and that can't be good for the cat to ingest. She's got lots and lots of other mice.

Yeah, fabric softener=really bad for cats. Even those Bounce sheet-type things.

OK, thanks. It's definitely getting tossed now.

Not entirely sure how it got up there -

All washing-machines are cleverly disguised time/space continuum devices.
Not entirely sure why, but I'm working on a theory involving catastrophic sock-shortage in the future (possibly in a parallel universe), wormholes and a piece of string.
Could be that fabric-softener (and/or toy-mice) plays a significant role as well.

I'm also very impressed that this bright pink toy mouse didn't bleed pink all over everything. Which could have been a disaster, seeing as how the five things I actually wear out of all my clothing were all in that load.

The pinky-ness obviously got leeched off to either a far distant future, or back in time to the load of white t-shirts I did couple of weeks ago. I'm leaning toward the latter as it would explain a lot.

Sorry about that. I blame the cat.
