Today, I bought a fish. I put the tank on top of the fridge so my cat wouldn't get at it. I'd forgotten to buy some things for its tank, so I quickly ran out to get them. When I got home, I saw the tank destroyed on the floor, and my cat devouring my fish. I had the fish for less than an hour. FML

Today, I bought a new Siamese Fighting Fish. I was so happy with my new fish so I bought him an expensive lovely bowl, some weeds, and a toy for the bowl. I left the room to get the fish food. When I returned, the fish was gone, and the cat was sitting on the table. FML
Today, I heard a loud crashing noise. I ran into the kitchen to see what it was. My cat had knocked over my fish bowl and had my Beta in her mouth. After scolding her and rescuing it, I decided to clean its bowl. When I went to dump some of the water in the sink, my fish went down the drain. FML
Today, I saw my cat playing in the other room. Fascinated, I watched him for a few minutes before I realized he was playing with one of my daughter's fish. Well, what was left of it. FML
Today, I woke up in my living room after having a party. I then realized my fish tank with many different species was missing from its usual spot. After searching for a few minutes, I finally found it in the freezer. FML

Today, I bought a fish bowl and a fish for $15. I brought him home and sat him on my desk. Everything was going well until the shelf gave out and his bowl slid off of the shelf... onto my $2,000 computer. The computer is fried and is not covered by the insurance, the fish is fine. FML
Today, I was walking to the pet store to buy a month's worth of fish food for my fish so I wouldn't have to come back for a while. For fish food it was expensive. It was also surprisingly heavy and I had to carry it back to my house. When I got home, I saw my fish floating at the top of its bowl. FML
Today, I woke up to shit on my floor and my cat hiding under my comforter. I have to get rid of my new fish because my cat is afraid of it. FML

Fish are never really alive, anyways. Just less dead.

#1 please tell me how that makes sense

I did not get the reference, but I still found it funny. What's the reference to?
RpiesSPIES 27
That '70s Show ;) Temporary visual aid added.
hilda_kitty 16
No idea where that reference came from, but funny as duck anyways. OP - I too have a cat and a fish tank. No matter how hard my cat tries, he can't get my fish because little Blueberry is too fast in water.
LightningCactus 12
"as duck".

Don't worry number 1, I gotchu. That's 70's show is my top 3 fav. Oh Red Foreman.

cats and fish are never a good pet combination, I expect....

Then please reveal to us your secrets.

1. Buy a tank that can't get knocked over. 2. Have a full hood/lid on top so the cat can't fish them out. The most my cat does is drink the fish water. The cat I used to have would try pouncing them through the glass but he never got to the fish.

It's simple really. Get a catfish.
ohcheriecherie 20
My cat would just eat the fish food whenever I fed the fish. She didn't want to get her paws wet trying to get em out. And my rats put up a fight when she got in their cage, and the chickens got bigger than her real quick.... She hasn't had any success with eating household pets. Poor thing.
Kkkdawg 27
You have chickens...as household pets...??
ohcheriecherie 20
92- well, I suppose not. We kept them in the basement until they got big.
outoftown 26
77 - So your cat couldn't eat the fish, rats, or chickens? Are you sure it's really a cat?
SoylentCandycorn 10
Not through lack of trying.
BrashlyHonest20 4
Exactly. Also there's just about nowhere you can put it where the cat wont be able to get to it if its determined.
lovelyheadache 16
That really sucks OP, maybe you shouldn't try to get any fish as long as you have the cat.
Sir_ND_Pity 35
I bet the fish bad mouthed the cat, calling it a "pussy with a single life" and such. The cat wasn't gonna take lip from the newcomer so he ate it. I would have done the same.

CharresBarkrey 15
Ugh. Really, 33? You're 21 years old and you still don't know the difference between 'your' and 'you're'? Just... Withdraw yourself from society, please.
Pleonasm 35
If we withdrew someone from society anytime they made a your/you're mistake, or any of those other common mistakes, we'd probably have a lot less people here than you'd expect.

However, the people left would have a remarkably higher average intelligence. Thus life would be more pleasant.

You cant have smart people without dumb people. Its just the way of life lol.
XxDevilxXGt 26
That would be alright with me. The gene pool needs to be fixed. But only people that mess up the you're/your and their/there/they're. :D

What do you expect if it's a mini fridge?
Phoebe_Buffay 14
Where exactly in this FML does it imply the the refrigerator is a mini fridge?

It doesnt, I simply assumed it was, if a 6 inch tall animal can reach the bowl. Relax....

#13... You realize cats can jump about six feet in the air, right? (Maybe higher, I'm not sure.)
Sandman366 6
Not sure about six, but mine can jump 4-5 feet up. If there's a counter anywhere nearby, they can jump on that then the fridge.
cmayer 20
My cat can jump from a sitting position on the floor all the way to the top of our refrigerator. That's over 6ft. Cats aren't weak little animals that can only jump two feet in the air..
apollojon 11
I am now realising how dumb that #13 comment was. Must. Find. Common Sense.....
brackaman 18
You could've put that fish in a sealed adamantine tank with an armed escort and a cat will still find a way to eat it. They're that devious.
ICastillo 24
Come on OP cats can climb!! They're like little evil ninja geniuses. But is sounds like a catastrophe. I bet you're feline a little dumb after that happened.
apollojon 11
Yeah, he should make sure the cat cant reach the bowl be-fur he leaves the house.
RpiesSPIES 27
I hope not to offind, but it streams like the cat was fishing for trouble.
