Dryer Disaster!

Kitties!

The Baby here.
I love the Dryer.
Something TERRIBLE happened last week, the dryer started making a strange noise!

It went something like this:

hummmmmmmmmm
hummmmmmmmm
KER-FLUMPH
BUMP
BUMP
HUMMMMMMMMMM
hummmmmmm


This meant that Mommy hasn't run MY Dryer since Saturday.  I've been bereft of my hot, rumbly sleeping-aid appliance.

So today a repairman came.   He determined what the problem was (a faulty drum roller) and said he could fix it, easy.  But...he would have to order the part.

OH NOOOOO!
My Dryer was going to stay cold and silent.

But wait...Mister Repairman said it was OK to run the Dryer, as long as it was a full load to add weight on the drum...HURRAH!!!!


After Mister Repairman left, Mommy got busy.
She did three glorious loads of laundry!

And I inspected each one thoroughly. 


You can't seeee meeeee!


Here I am...
Peek-a-Boo!

I had a HUGE bath and a long nap this afternoon, snoring away on my wonderful, wonderful Dryer. 


Happy Thursday!

XX  The Baby

  3. We're so glad Mr. Repairman said it was okay to run your dryer again. Nothing better than a bath on nice, warm laundry!

  4. Now that is really handy - a clothes dryer that does double duty as a cat warmer...I'll bet the latter wasn't on the list of advertised features!

  9. Love the first pic-sher of you, The Baby! What a relief your dryer was still usable. We are feeling very deprived here...our cheapo mom doesn't use or even have our clothes dryer hooked up! It may be time to pack our kitty bags...

  10. You are so lucky, TB! We don't get to partake of fun laundry stuff, because our washer and dryer are in the garage, where we are not allowed. BTW, our washer and dryer are bright crimson red!

  17. Phew! When we read about the noise the dryer was making, we had a moment of real, SERIOUS panic! I love warm dryers too and # is always worried I will sneak inside when she is loading it...

  24. diego-san loves to disconnect the steam/lint blower thing leading from inside the house to the dryer so everytime i use our dryer i have to make sure the connection is secure. that's the extent of my dryer repair ability.

  25. OH MY CATS horror of horrors to have the dryer out of commission...mom would have freaked out...
    The last time ours died she had a load of towels in the washing machine...had to take them to the laundromat in the middle of the hottest July on record and the laundromat did not have air conditioning. She said she'd throw out the wet laundry before she ever go to a laundromat again.MOL

  30. You are so lucky to have such a good repairman that can fix up your special place!

  31. It's a great place you've picked out as your own The Baby! We hope you mom isn't as lazy as ours because it only runs about once a week!

    ReplyDelete
  32. oh that sucks but glad your mom can still run it for you!

    ReplyDelete
  33. We don't like the sounds of the dryer much, but we do love the nice warm towels that come out!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh Baby!! When we started reading, we were very very concerned that you would not have your warm dryer to sleep on. Y'know, we like laying on the dryer too...almost as much as we like laying on the stove when the oven is on!! Now you need to keep dirtying up lots of clothes and stuff so your mom hasta do the laundry and has a big enough load to run the dryer for you!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. OMG I have such dryer (and washer) envy!!! When we moved to this house, every single appliance had to be replaced and we haven't reached the W/D yet...they are ancient and U-G-L-Y but because they are out of sight in the basement we concentrated on the kitchen.

    So glad that Baby's warm bed is working again :-)

  36. What is a dryer?? We don't have one of those. Mom hangs clothes out to dry. If it is cold out (and it is!), she hangs them inside near the heat. We can't imagine having a warm, shaking thing to sleep on...can you explain what it is like? You sound really lucky...and we sound unlucky. Some cats just have it all!! We're glad you do!!

  37. Hey Baby! You are braver than us. We sniff at the dryer now and then, but we stay away for the most part. Curse, if Meowm didn't have stuff piled on it, we might check it out more.

    ReplyDelete
  38. You have a nice spot to stay warm, Baby. Our people don't let us anywhere near the dryer, even on top!

    ReplyDelete
  39. We are glad you have your lovely warm dryer working again The Baby. Make sure your mum keeps doing lots of laundry for you.

  40. Baby
    We are so glad that you didn't have to wait another week to have your nice warm dryer. *whew* We are sure your Mom was glad to ... to be able to still use the dryer. Even though MOm has a clothesline outside she still basically uses that dryer nearly every time to dry their clothes.

  43. Thank goodness, Baby! My sisters are so weird they only sleep on the dryer when it's summer. And Russell just tries to get into it every time the door is open. (He tries to get into the washer, too.)
