Today, I had to buy more supplies for the cat my friend asked me to pet sit for 2 weeks. Her 2-week vacation ended over 3 years ago. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I've been assigned to watch my friend's cat while he's away from home. His cat is 22 years-old and very grumpy. Most of my time has been spent making sure she's not dead, and getting attacked when I accidentally interrupt her naps. I've already got a few scratches. This is gonna be a long few days. FML
Today, my friend asked me if I could watch her mother's cats while they go on vacation. I agreed since her house is on my way to work. When I talked to her mother, I found out she has 30-something cats. She reckons she lost count. FML
Today, I took in an old friend’s fat cat for a month until she finds a place to live. Turns out the cat isn’t fat, just pregnant. I found out when I found two of her dead kittens in my living room. FML
Today, my dad and stepmom came back from a very expensive two-month trip across the world. When they got home, they had more gifts for their cat than for me. FML
Today, I came to visit a friend I haven't seen in 3 years for a fun 2 month vacation of you know what. She has 2 more dogs now and soon as I stepped in her place after flying across the country, there were 2 piles if dog crap on the ground. I already want to fly out of here, and this is only day one.

Today, I was over at a friend's house feeding her cats while she was on vacation. After feeding the four of them, I found an extra cat under the sofa. Thinking it was an intruding stray, I kicked it out. She actually has 5 cats. FML
Today, after my landlord has refused to fix the bathroom plumbing problem in my apartment for several days, I had to buy cat litter for myself. FML
Today, I agreed to catsit for a friend. Her cat rode back to my house sitting on my shoulder in the car. As soon as I opened the door, he jumped out and ran off into the woods. It's been 2 1/2 hours and not even food will entice him back to me. FML
Today, I'd agreed to watch my friend's cats for a few weeks. I'd always promised myself not to become a "crazy cat lady" like her. It's the third day and I danced with the cats and apologised to them for my bad dancing. FML
Today, I got back from a two-week vacation. During my vacation, I had a friend from work watch my puppy. My puppy now likes him more than me, and won't stop whining sadly since he left. FML

That’s a funny way of saying, “I had to buy more supplies for my cat.”

I think the cat is yours at this point! Are you gonna keep it or take it to a shelter or tell your friend to come get this thing?

It’s time for you to go on a two week vacation, and have that friend look after the cat and never pick it up...

So you didn’t think maybe contacting said friend over the course of three years why they haven’t retrieved their cat?? This is a fml to the poor cat, the cat is now yours obviously so buying it food and giving it love is most important.

I feel like there's not enough information here. Did your friend die? Decide to move? Plane Crashed? Stop being your friend? What?

It's technically yours now after 6 months I think. Even if your friend wanted it back, you wouldn't have to as long as you can prove the length of time you've had it and any receipts of vet bills or food and supplies you've had to buy for the cat. Have you even tried to give the cat back? Has its first owner spoken to you since then?

You sound like you have been taking care of a cat you don't want for 3 years. Either accept it as yours and stop being sour about it or give it away to someone who appreciates it.
