Felix, the one-year-old kitty, is recovering from pneumonia, a concussion and temporary blindness caused by being washed in the washing machine.
A cat was left sick, concussed and temporarily blind after a trip in a washing machine spin cycle, needing the help of an oxygen machine to breathe.
"I had checked the washer like I always do but turned my back to retrieve more clothes and he apparently went in then," Carroll-Kirchoff told USA TODAY."The clothes were dark and he is dark and the room was dimly lit." Felix was found with bruises on his body, wrote Carroll-Kirchoff's daughter, Asha Caroll Mccullough, in a GoFundMe page for Felix's recovery. Immediately after finding him, Caroll-Kirchoff took him to the emergency veterinarian.
After concerns that he wouldn't survive the traumatic accident, Felix is recovering from pulmonary edema, pneumonia, a concussion and temporary blindness caused by his run-in with the washing machine.Part of the recovery process requires him to be connected to an oxygen machine, as there is still water in Felix's lungs.

Study: Only 40% Of Mice Have Little Welcome Mat, Doorway Leading To Tiny Home Inside WallCAMBRIDGE, MA—In a troubling revelation concerning the living conditions of millions nationwide, a Harvard University study confirmed Wednesday that only 40 percent of mice in the continental U.S. have a little welcome mat and doorway leading to a tiny home inside a wall. “Our research shows that, disturbingly, less than half of American mice can afford their own home, defined for this purpose as a space entered through the wainscoting where they sit at a table made from a spool of thread, eat off bottle-cap dishes, and sleep in an adorable sardine-can bed,” said lead researcher Susan Lord, adding that only the top 15 percent of rodents are able to decorate their residence with framed photos of cheese, beer-coaster area rugs, and wee “Home Sweet Home” signs hanging over their doors. “Moreover, only 25 percent of these creatures occupy a place big enough to house a hairbow-bedecked wife with large eyelashes and their children. Unfortunately, only the wealthiest 7 percent own a set of matching nightcaps for their darling family to wear while snoring in unison at night.” Lord went on to say that 90 percent of these mice have such inadequate living spaces that the rollicking chases that constitute the bulk of their workdays usually conclude with the pursuing cat having its face stuck inside their doorways.
