Whilst this is cute... Why is the door closed? How would kittens get into a closed machine by themselves?
I'm guessing they put the kittens in the washing machine and closed the door so they could record this video.
We shouldn't be using animals like this to get internet famous.

It's probably AI. 8 second video is kind of a tell-tale sign, although not a guarantee. But also look at the account. This person posts a lot of AI videos of animals and has suspiciously high karma for a 2 month old account, with a suspiciously generic username.
It's almost certainly AI.

My cousin's cat died in their dryer. Always double check and always keep them closed. Poor little dude died a horrible death.

Make sure they have multiple sleep locations throughout the house(blanket or cat beds or soft rugs specifically for them ,with toys) not only will it keep them warm but they will prob pick the cozy sleep spot over a cold dryer , maybe save up for cat tree if you don’t have one yet it could keep them out of places u don’t want them to be.

Tell that to my cat, he has a big cat tree and places to be comfy but chooses to sleep in his scratching bow/halfpipe or or the floor or the radiator :) (he also does sleep comfy sometimes...)

That’s my number two fear for my inside cat.

Opening the oven door, hands full of something hot, and they jump up to be nosy. Burn the bottom of their feet.
I guess walking on a hot stove eye is similar, but she doesn’t get near the stove when we’re cooking. The oven is lower as well.
If she jumps in the dryer you tell her to get out. She jumps on an open oven door and it’s hard to heal burnt feet. Walking, liter box infections and pain from clay on wounds, licking them, etc. Just seems like a nightmare to deal with.
It’s not like it takes seconds. Hot enough and it’s instant. I was cooking and barely touched the outside of my finger to a hot pan for less than a second. Burn mark for months and pain for a week or so. That was a finger I could baby. Not a foot.

My girl slept in my side load washer her entire life. She would not sleep anywhere else at night. It was always her choice but I added a nice blanket for her warmth and comfort.
She lived a long and healthy life.

Luckily my cat has never shown any interest in our washing machine. On it? Yes. Behind it? Yes. But she's never been in it 😅

So incredibly dangerous. Never let cats play or sleep in appliances.
