There is a reason Kimba the cat looks extra white and fluffy -  she's been through a washing machine spin cycle. In what surely have  used up a fair share of her nine lives, the four-month-old Persian spent  30 minutes inside the spinning frontloader after sneaking inside,  possibly for a snooze. The last thing Kimba's owner Lindsay Rogers  expected when he opened the machine's door was the mournful meow of a  bedraggled and dizzy Kimba. Kimba suffered shock and hypothermia, while  her eyes were inflamed and ulcerated from the soap. Four months on and  Kimba has now made a full recovery. Pictured is Kimba's other owner  Margaret Rogers
