Animals: Today, I took my cat to the vet. He said he felt a strange lump...

Today, I took my cat to the vet. He said he felt a strange lump that could be serious. I got really upset and picked her up, crying. The vet then told me I had to put her down. Absolutely devastated by having to euthanize my cat, I passed out. He meant I had to put her back on the table. FML

Today, I had to put my 17 year-old cat down. I cried the whole way up to the vet's office and back. After finally coming to terms with the situation, and trying to forget, my dad's friend walks up to me and says, "So, I heard you killed your cat?" FML

Today, I had to explain to my boss that the reason I was sobbing hysterically as she told me that I was getting a pay raise was because I was going to the vet to have my sick and dying cat put down. Good news at a bad time. FML

Today, I saved a kitten from the streets, cleaned her up and asked the vet what I should do with her because she was the sweetest thing and my cat has a highly contagious illness. The vet had to put her down. FML

Today, I had to put my cat to sleep after she was in an accident. While I was crying hysterically, the vet asked me for $230. FML

You owe me $5, kitty

Today, my cat was hit by a car. I took it to the vet expecting the worst but they told me that she’d be fine. I was so happy I didn't even mind paying the $50 bill. The next morning my cat was dead. Having her put down humanely would have cost $45, I paid $5 extra to have her die in my kitchen. FML

Today, I was the designated emotional support person for my friend's mom as she went to have her sick cat put down. The cat was aggressive towards the male vet. She said, "She doesn't like men" to which the vet replied, "Well, soon that won't be a problem." The willpower it took both of us to not yell at him, or worse… FML

Today, I was sent a letter by the vet, saying my cat was late for her yearly checkup. My cat died last week and I'd had her cremated by the same people who had sent the letter. FML

Today, I took my wife's cat to the vet for her yearly check up. I'm finishing the day at the hospital with multiple bite wounds and a deep gash in my leg. My wife chose to comfort her cat instead. FML

Sorry Mr Whiskers

Today, my overly-attached 14-year-old cat wanted attention while I was in a heated Skype argument with my girlfriend. Worked up from the fight, I raised my voice and said, "Not now, go away!" He ran to his little bed, had a heart attack and died. I was a complete dick to my cat in his last moments. FML

Today, I was playing with my dog, teasing her, to cheer myself up after being dumped by my girlfriend. My dog bit me hard and I had to go to hospital. The dog has to be put down. FML

Hello Sadcat, I'm sorry to hear about the lump in your kitty and hope it's nothing. The misunderstanding sounds hilarious and probably scared the hell out of the doctor. :)

But you have a picture of a cat as your DP.. Way to be too attached to cats.

Dude, how does my having a profile pic of cat mean I'm attached to cats? I think the picture is cute, is all. I wouldn't faint over one.

Most people have pics of themselves or no pic at all.. You have a pic of a cat.

"I'm my own person. I'm just so unique and original; I'm totally different than all you people. You all just wouldn't understand how unique and special I am. Using a picture of a cat for my profile on FMyLife is just one of the ways that I use to define my unique self."

I've heard that joke before. Nice try. On the chance that it really did happen, who the hell passes out when they get bad news? That only happens on bad tv shows.

not true. i have a little sister who passes out when she hears anything seriously bad like when I fainted and when our brother got in a car acciden ()he's ok)

Not necessarily true. I've never passed out upon hearing bad news but I came close when I heard my aunt had an inoperable tumor.

If you ask me, it would have been worse the other way around...if you thought the doctor had meant 'put her back on the table' when he meant he was going to have to kill her. You got to keep your cat, so it's not all bad.

What vet do you go to? My cat's been placed on the table just for check ups (partly because she's enormously fat so probably nobody wants to hold her for that long).
