I Am A Horrible Mother...

So I just have to share this traumatic experience that happened...
Yesterday I was just doing stuff around the house, cleaning, laundry, etc. I was in the laundry room and took the clothes out of the dryer and then I got distracted. About a minute later I was walking past the dryer and shut it on my way to our bedroom where I was folding laundry and getting ready for the day. About AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER(!!!), I was getting ready to head out to the grocery store and decided to check our pantry that is right next to our laundry to see if we needed certain things from the store. All of the sudden I heard our cat Sofi meowing a really sad meow. (She is a vocal cat, but she has different meows, and this was not a happy one) It sounded like it was coming from the washer, (which I left open for the first time ever! We usually always have to keep things shut so she doesn't get into them.) so I ran over to it and she wasn't there, then I checked behind the washer to see if the fell and got stuck, but she wasn't there either, it felt like when baby Jessica was stuck in that well back in the 80s, does anyone remember that?!?! Haha, it was an echoing meow, but I couldn't find the source. Then I heard that poor meow again and it sounded like it was coming from the dryer....OH NO!!!!!!...Oh yes! My poor cat was sitting in that horrible, stuffy, metal cylinder of death:( I felt so bad, she must have jumped in when I wasn't looking and I shut her in when I was walking by. I felt so bad!!! So I quickly took her out and tried to make it up to her by giving her a few treats and some nice fresh cold water. Anyways, I was traumatized because I just thought of how bad I am going to feel if I ever doing something stupid like that when I have children...of course, not putting them in the dryer, but something traumatic like that. Poor Sofi!
