Memories: Persia and the Dryer

No, she didn't get into the dryer. (whew)

In my apartment in Tennessee the clothes washer and clothes dryer were
enclosed in a hallway behind dual metal bi-fold doors. Persia, being
nosy as can be, decided anything behind closed doors must be interesting.

One day she managed to open the doors. I guess she jumped up on the
dryer, then decided to jump down between the dryer and the wall. Maybe
there was some dryer lint that looked like a mouse or something to play
with. I don't know. But Ooops! There was no room for her to gain any
momentum to jump back up. She was a stuck kitty!

I discovered when a cat is stuck in a space like that I have superhuman
strength. (Could just be I was younger LOL) I managed to move the dryer
so she could get out.

After that, I secured the knobs on the doors shut with big rubber bands
so she couldn't get them open again.

She always was a fun cat.

She was obeying the feline law of curiosity.

"If it looks interesting then it has to be checked out regardless of
safety."

I wonder what thoughts went through her mind when she realised she was
stuck. I think "Woops" wouldn't quite cover it.

More like "UH OH! What did I get myself into?"
