A curious kitten had an amazing escape after climbing into a washing machine and going through a full wash cycle.
Seven-month-old Siamese Suki was soaked, washed, rinsed and then spun dry after climbing in with a full load of dirty linen.
The first that owner Liz Fear knew of the cleaning catastrophe was when she reached in to pull out the newly washed clothing and discovered an unexpected fur ball.
Mrs Fear, of Melbourne, Australia, recalls: "I lifted her limp and lifeless body out and she was really cold and colourless and I held her in my arms."
The family - Mrs Fear, husband Tony and children Charlotte, 13, twins Harry and Amelia, 11, and James, 8 - had been watching TV when they noticed that Suki was missing.
"She's more like a dog and always under your feet. The kids had asked where she was," she added.
"But we just thought she was taking time out somewhere and - doing four loads of washing a day - I just closed the machine door after the kids had put their clothes in and didn't think any more about it."
When Suki was discovered after her washing machine ordeal she was rushed to the local vets where she was discovered to be severely ill.
But despite initial grim predictions she has amazingly pulled through and is now expected to make a full recovery.
