In Memory of My Beloved Kitty--A Call to Action for Pet Safety 

I’m asking you, dear reader, to take action today to help prevent a tragedy like the one I experienced. If you’ve endured a similar loss, please accept my deepest condolences. In my own grief, I’ve found some comfort in these efforts to prevent such tragedies from happening to others, and I hope that sharing my story will remind you that you’re not alone. By joining me in raising awareness, I hope you’ll find solace too. In memory of my beloved kitty, I encourage you to help keep pets safe. A blog post is here about my loss.

First, please sign this petition so we can demonstrate to manufactures, government product safety agencies, and manufactures that we care about highly preventable deaths and suffering. 

Second, I’ve designed reminder stickers to place on washers and dryers, and I urge you to consider using them or making your own so we can begin keeping kitties safer right away. Sticker 1.​ Sticker 2. 

Third, if you or someone you know has experienced a similar incident in the United States, I encourage you to report it to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). While CPSC traditionally focuses on consumer safety, my correspondence with them suggests that if enough of us report these incidents, we can drive change. 

Fourth! Let's write the manufactures. Top manufactures in the United States are: 

Maytag: https://www.maytag.com/services/contact-us.html

Miele: https://www.mieleusa.com/c/contact-11.htm

LG: "Your voice to the president" https://www.lg.com/us/support/contact
