A cat miraculously survived after being washed along with clothes in a washing machine in China.

The video was filmed in Jining City in Shandong Province on June 11.

The owner, Ms. Wang, discovered the cat's predicament just in time, rescuing it after the machine had been running for around 7 to 8 minutes.

Wang explained that the washing machine door is usually left open, and dirty clothes are tossed in directly. The cat had crawled inside while playing, and she did not check before starting the wash.

Initially, she heard unusual meowing but assumed it was a stray cat outside. Realising the sound might be coming from her own pet, she quickly stopped the machine and opened the door to rescue the cat.

Despite the harrowing experience, the cat emerged unscathed and is currently in good condition.

近日，山东济宁，一只猫咪钻进后洗衣机被主人连同衣服一起清洗，幸运的是，主人及时发现了这一情况，在洗衣机运转了七八分钟后迅速将其救出。

据主人王女士描述，平常洗衣机的门都是打开的，脏衣服脱下后会直接塞进里面，猫咪玩耍时钻了进去，洗衣服的时候也没有进行检查，当时她听到不寻常的叫声时，因为不是很清晰，以为是楼下的流浪猫，后来才意识到可能是自己的猫咪被困。她便迅速关闭洗衣机并打开门，就出了猫咪。尽管洗衣机已经运转了七八分钟，但猫咪并未受到伤害，目前状态良好。
