The panicked woman called the neighbors - anyone seen the little black ball of trouble? Nope. Sinking fear griped the aging woman - so back to the house to check impossible locations. Cupboards, oven, freezer, under the car?
Then she heard the washer clanging. The machine had made odd noises before, but she decided to check it out anyway. And there, peering out through the soapy, half-filled cavity from behind the glass of the front-loader's door-Tabitha!
Sudsed up, shaken, shrunken, crying like a whimpering infant the cat was scared and confused. The door wouldn't budge. Quickly grabbing the gardener to pry the door open - success. Out flails the wet lump of coal that was once an average black house cat.
Tabitha's lungs were pumped out by the vet. And a hair dryer did the rest. Tabitha blew-up the size of the black-hole in the center of the Milky Way. What the hell happened?
Oh yea, Karin had loaded a comforter that morning; the once-per-year washing of the 'big' blanket and Tabitha, undetected, was buried in it. So Karin only had herself to blame, but Tabitha was not blaming anyone. The goofy cat just wanted to be left alone, for now.
