Today, on my way to Burger King I got into a heated discussion with my wife about our cats. We have 15 rescues, and I've reached my limit. Guess what came running up to my car while waiting in the drive-through. We named him Pickles. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked outside to see my dog killing my cat. My spouse tried to cheer me up - "Hey, at least we don't have to buy cat food anymore!" FML
Today, my cat tried to steal my burger. She was successful. She grabbed the patty with her teeth and pulled it right out of the burger. I was too dumbfounded to try and stop her. I have a suspicion that she is hungry and I forgot to feed her. FML
Today, I once again walked in on my husband eating our cat's food. FML
Today, I had to take my cat to the vet. On the way there, he managed to get out of his cage, climb into the front seat, onto my chest, and howl in my face as I tried to drive down the highway. I ended up with stitches and still got charged for missing my cat's appointment. FML
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, I saw a poor helpless cat in the middle of the road while driving. I pulled over and scooped it in my arms to bring it to safety. Not only did I get mauled and scratched by the cat, my car also wasn't put in park and rolled away hitting a parked car. FML
Today, my girlfriend called me four times in a row at work. Worried, I stepped outside and answered the phone. Through tears, she screamed, "It's the cat!" Was he sick or hurt? "NO! He won't stop meowing!" 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
Today, my boyfriend and I are devastated to return our newly adopted "cat friendly" dog to the shelter. He's perfect, other than the fact that he clearly wants to eat our cats. FML
Today, I took my cat to the vet for a regular check-up. In the waiting room, she escaped from her carrier and created chaos, knocking over supplies, and hissing at everyone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She's turning you into a crazy cat lady

Do you want fries with that? In all honesty, I like the idea of rescuing animals, but, you are right, there is a limit, especially if it is in your home. Hopefully you can reach a compromise! Until then, I hope you like Pickles :P

I love cats (got two of my own) but never ever would I have that much cats. I was totally overwhelmed when we had kittens once LOL I read some great advices here, take them with you.

I think you're a great person. Not everyone would have done that for a poor little cat. But since you have had enough, you can always give some of them to a shelter or post your house as a foster home and people can adopt them. That way you can be sure the cats get a good home :)

i have six cats myself and if i could take more in, i would. all mine are rescued but i know i couldnt afford anymore right now. i am an animal lover like crazy and if your 15 cats are healthy and being taken care of well then props to you :) but if it gets to the point you cant care for them individually theres always people looking for cats and also can be taken to no kill shelters.

Did he not belong to somebody? You can't just go around annexing people's property under the pretext of rescuing it

If he belonged to someone, I doubt he would be in a Burger King parking lot. Plus, it's not hard to tell the difference between a homeless cat and someone's pet. My rescue cat was showing ribs, and had patches of fur missing, but as soon as we gave her food, and showed her we weren't going to hurt her, she opened up to us. We took her in, and soon she was healthy and beautiful, and you could tell she was well cared for.

Depends how close houses are to said Burger King, cats have huge areas they will roam around in.

She knows that's illegal, right? Stand your ground more OP or you will be raising cats for the test of your life.

Someone's a bit testy today...

Aww on the bright side you seem like a good husband OP. But you definitely need to find some of those cats forever homes soon.

You all are becoming hoarders. Get rid of all of them cats before it's too late.

I think the context of "we" doesn't apply here anymore. What you need to do is grow a pair, put your foot down and take some control of this situation. Happy wife, happy life? Sounds like a load of shit to me lol

Have you thought about working with a local cat rescue to rehome some of them? I know it's heart breaking, but it would give you more room to continue to do the good thing you are doing. I'm going to cry like a baby when my foster dog gets adopted. We nursed her back to health and had planned on keeping her. But if we keep her, I won't be able to continue to help. So she's going to go to a good home.
