Today, I stayed up until 4 am. I was waiting for both my cats to fall asleep, so I could play Santa and stuff their stockings in secret. FML

Today, I waited anxiously until midnight to open my Christmas presents. As the clock struck midnight, I ran out into the living room, super-excited to open them, only to discover that everyone in our house had already opened theirs, and had all gone to bed. FML

Today, I went Christmas shopping for my cat. I still haven't bought presents for my family, yet my cat already has several small gifts under the tree and an outfit to wear around the house. I really need a new hobby. FML

Today, my family decided to break tradition and wake up at midnight to open presents. I didn't find out until I went downstairs to get a glass of water in the middle of the night, and found wrapping paper and empty boxes everywhere. FML

Today, I realized I've lived alone too long. I read 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' to my cat. I used expression in my voice, and I made sure he could see the pictures. My son called, and I told him about it. He gave me the number for the local psychiatric ward. FML

Today, I kept my cats indoors to be safe on Halloween, making sure to keep the food full and litter boxes clean. After dinner, I got dressed up and spent two hours at a party. When I got home, there was a large, rancid butt-loaf waiting on my bed. Unappreciative little fuckers. FML

Today, to try to have a less depressing Christmas, I've put up a small tree in my apartment and wrapped some presents for myself. I woke from a nap to the sound of my cat vomiting. What did she throw up on? The presents. FML

Today, I waited until the last minute to do my Christmas shopping. Today, I also discovered that my bank account has been frozen due to suspicious activity. FML

Today, my girlfriend begged me to stay up late and video chat with her because she missed me. Even though I work early mornings, I reluctantly agreed. After waiting up until 2am for her to get online, I gave up. She had fallen asleep. FML

Today, after spending hours wrapping the presents for Christmas, I came back into the room to find that my dog had lost his toy, knocked over all the presents, and was frantically ripping at everything to find it. FML

Today, after driving for four hours to visit my best friend for the New Year's break, she still hasn't finished up her Skype conversation and left her room to greet me. She knows I'm here. I've spent the last hours watching YouTube videos with her cat. FML

Just because someone has a cat and or does that doesn't mean their crazy...she probably loves them and treats them like her children!

It's not that she has a cat or loves them. I have them too. It's that she stayed up till 4 am to "stuff their stockings in secret". That's sad. Put them in another room. Or better yet come to the realization that they don't know what you're doing anyway.

Yeah, I'm wondering why OP didn't just put them somewhere else..another room/floor..

Yes, I will probably get thumbed down, but this is on the edge of insanity. I have several cats, three dogs, and love them all. But seriously, they are not people. They don't know about Christmas and they don't care about stockings! If you think they do, then you are on the edge of insanity too, so I guess you may as well enjoy it.

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me :-) But I am looking forward to my future as a crazy spinster cat lady so maybe you shouldn't pay attention to what I say.

And then your cats used the stockings as scratching posts.

Normally I'd say that is pretty narrow-minded and that if a person wants to live in a way that makes them happy and isn't hurting anyone else they can but since this is on FML I guess the OP wants a "life".

Don't really see how getting married would change things much. Refer to #58.

She might be. An acquanitance was this, uh, dedicated to her dogs and she was married. They referred to them as children and the first year I knew her, I thought she was talking about actual children.
