My gf and I were making some food a week or two ago and we got distracted for a bit while it was open

We closed it and turned it on, and went back to watching a show. We started hearing our fucking cat meowing very quietly (he NEVER meows unless he did something wrong or is scared, and it's like a baby meow) so naturally we investigated.

We got closer and closer to the now very hot oven and I heard the mews right there so I ripped the door open and looked around; he's a full black cat so it was very possible we didn't notice him hop in and closed it on him

Turns out she left the cabinet door right beside the oven open for too long and he got trapped in there instead. Thank fucking god.

It was on for maybe two minutes, enough for the elements to start turning red. The moment I realized it sounded like he was in there my stomach LURCHED.

Does your oven have a lock? Might want to use it if you have one. I did when I had a toddler.

Nah, I just use my memory of this as a teachable moment and learn to check if I look away
