Wash, Dry, and Go!
It's easy!
Step 1: Find kitteh under bed
Step 2: Fill sink with warm nip-scented bubble bath and smoosh kitteh around in it. Ignore mews.
Step 3: Plop kitteh in dryer on "Xtreme Fluff" setting for 20 minutes. Ignore mews.
You're all set!
Martha Stewart would approve. Sender-Inner Jake Z. has many more pics of Winnie here.

Peeps! Watch closely! And if you see the nuffer, be the 4th caller and YOU can win a pair of tickets for you and that special someone to see Triple Baroo and the Headless Penguin, performing live at the Japanese Zoo!
don't forget the static sheet :3
Wait, you can tumble dry kitties?!? *eyes my Maine Coon hybrid*
Heh...
Mah fat girl Rizzo likes jumpin' in the dryer after I get done pulling hot dry laundry out. I'm glad there's a window on it and I don't close it all the way, because I want some of that heat, too! She enjoys it because she's our basement kitteh and Kansas weather in December is a bit chilly and we're keeping the temp at aboot sixty this year. So far so good! She's also VERY Maine Coonish, as in no matter how much you brush her she still sheds a full kitten every day.
I'm sure there is some sort of mathematic equation to use the volume of wet fur and the level of feline embarassment (Figure 1) to predict the amount of time needed in the dryer to produce the ultimate Floofiness of dry kitteh (Figure 2).
My best friend accidentally shut her kitteh in the dryer (kitteh was always jumping in there whenever the door was open). She wondered why the dryer was "thumping" so much! Kitteh was fine and undaunted by her adventure, still trying to get in the dryer afterwards.
Does that include the famous penguin parade, pyrit? [Keeps eyes peeled for nuffers, sure that it won't take long.]
Aww, so cute!! Though does the first one remind anyone else of a swamp thing? :)
That cat looks about as happy as I did when my brothers put ME in the dryer. But kitty has better hair ;-)
Aw, Meg, now you're just baiting the nuffers.
[Oh we wouldn't DREAM... - Ed.]
Oh, the sweet little puddy-tatt. Give her a hug for me, please.
One of my friends puts her cat in the dryer when the cat does something dangerous. Obviously, she doesn't turn the dryer on.
"Winnie"??
Do we need to introduce this calico kittums to Winston?
What dangerous things does your friends cat do,Chinchillazilla?
Don't really put your cats in the dryer, folks. I am sad that the warning needs to be given, but some people are stupid.
Aww, what a pretty kitty! I love the first pic, she looks like she just swam to shore for dear life. *cues Celine Dion* Jack, where are you Jack? I'm here Rose!
*frantically dials*
Did I win? Did I win? Aw drats, I never win these things =(
I *must* have this kitteh!! Please?! i will send my address!
wet kitties sometimes look like Gremlins...

What a cutie! <3
That's not nuffing. Of course not all cats can go in the dryer. My Victoria (may she RIP) always preferred to be hand-washed, then shaped flat to dry while her sister Saatchi could be dried with a wringing and a quick snap to get rid of the wrinkles. Just make sure you read your labels, people.
*snort* Far more of us have brains and use them than are so bloody stupid as to believe that one can put one's cat in the dryer because it showed up as a joke on a animal picture website.
in otherwords Kara, we're smarter than you think we are.
Step 4 Apply multiple band-aids to bath giving hooman's bloody scritched up arms....
I love your sense of humour!
Cheers!
I had the same thought as Teho (scary, wot?).
Winnie, Winston -- smoosh face kittehs unhappy with baths, but so floofy otherwise.
Teho - I was wondering if maybe she was named after Winston? What with her floofiness and flattened face, and all.
That was the first thing that occurred to me when I saw that her name was Winnie.
totally cute--but i do know a cat that died this way--awful awful for the kitty and the owner. not a matter of stupidity, just not realizing the cat was even in there.
Getting ready for a party here...would a splash of
"Freshly-Washed Kitty"
cologne pour l'homme make me more attractive?
And...for you serious stay-at-home snorglers..."Freshly-Washed Kitty" is also available as scented candles.
Wait - was it the fourth caller after the nuffer, or the caller after the 4th nuffer? 'Cuz -- if it's the caller after the 4th nuffer, did I win? Did I?
Happy New Year!
( I drape my kitties on a drying rack to dry, or hang them over the shower curtain rod.)
I just checked out the photostream - Winny's a beautiful ball of smooshy furs!
"Xtreme Nuff"
Oh man, I made a video for school once and in the middle of it, I put my dog in the dryer and shut the door, stopped the camera and took the dog out, subbed a pair of shoes and began shooting again. Everyone in my class thought I had actually turned on the cycle with the dog in there...priceless!
Hi Everyone! Thanks for looking at Winny's photos. I am Winny's mom and we're so proud of her for making her way to CuteOverload!!
I figured I'd comment to say that YES -- we did name her after Winston! We are huge fans of Winston and thought he would be a good role model for our super cute new friend.
We enjoy every fun-filled day with her and all the little adventures she gets into. Unfortunately, she's been a bit sick and has goopy eyes and goes into sneezing fits so it's been a little bit of a difficult time for her this past month. Wish her well everyone and Happy New Year!
Take care,
Janey & Jake
Janey: She's a beauty; looks like my Isabella, except Bella's all white. I hope she feels all bettah soons!
On the topic of nuffers: What I've noticed is that entering into a debate with them only fires them up more, and encourages all their compatriots to join in. You know what they say: If you want a behavior to become extinct, you just ignore it. Anyway, I just don't wanna use up all my energy arguing with someone who's angry and negative. I come to CO for all the cute and the clever and creative quips from all the fun folks here. I'm not gonna throw any energy at all at the nuffers. It would just bring me down. Happy New Year to all...I love ya for brightening my life each day!
BTW, Bella *loves* going for rides in the dryer, whether she needs it or not...tee hee :D
OMG you guys! Don't put a cat in the dryer! I saw a cartoon once where a mouse put a cat in the dryer and when the cat came out he had shrunken to wee size and then the mouse laughed at the small cat who had to ring himself out with and old fashion crank-handle-on-a-bucket-thing dryer and blow in his thumb to get back to regular size. OMG! Don't do this!
Kitteh is all like, that was NUTS!
My kittehs are strictly drip dry. Just trying to save energy. Besides, the dryer makes them so dang static-y.
I recommend the soap brand Smoosh-Face. It exfoliates non-smoosh-facedness and brings out the huge eyes.
ummmm....okay. i think i read on one of these threads that drying cats in a dryer is not a good thing- unless you make sure to use dryer sheets and the 'fluff only' setting- i swear it was something like that.....personally i prefer using nelly dryer balls.
I have my cat dry cleaned, to prevent shrinkage.
First dryer balls, now shrinkage. Oh my.
Ooooh my, the Nuffs will have a field day with this one!
lol quit teasing!
Winnie is beautiful! ;) Wet and dry!
Ok, look at the photostream! the closeup of her snoozing kinda looks like she has fur coming out of her nose!
I don't care, THAT is cute overload!
Cuuuuuuute!
Does Rich know this qte calico bebeh is named after his boy? Double cute!
teehee
Poor Winnie. Why do people wash cats? They hate it and don't need it. Sorry, but this just makes me sad.
Awww, I love Persian kitties and their eternally smooshed grumpy faces! Kittens are even better.
pillbug, my Rizzo had to have a baff because of a bad case of diorama. She actually didn't mind it because the temperature was just right. She has a busted tail and it drags behind her so when her diorama acted up she had a little trouble cleaning up.
i REALLY HOPE no one DID this for reals :( :(
