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?

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

At least the name is creative

OP you need to tell your wife that the cats have to go to other homes. If your wife is going to be a foster parent for rescues she is going to have to give them to other people to love.

my mother and I are like this. we took a lot of strays in over the years (if they weren't strays they were definitely mistreated & we have them checked to disease before mixing them with our others cats). we know it's not legal to have that many, but they are all vaccinated, neutered, loved and fed with quality food that's recommended by veterinarians. we are definitely not taking any more though! seriously OP, you're gonna end up with territory problems and angry cats! try giving a few to people you know and trust :)

Think of all the wonderful things you're doing for these animals!

Yeah it's great, but two people can only give so much love. Saving an animal is admirable but at the same time you have to give these animals to other loving homes. Along with the above comments.

That might be somebody else's cat. Hope you can convince her to let you put up fliers

Congrats on stealing a cat. A cat that runs up to people and is friendly is a cat that VERY likely has a loving family in the house behind the restaurant. I sure as hell hope you put up some "found cat" signs, posted it on Craigslist, and reported it to the local animal control/humane society so the family can get the cat back. Please tell me you at LEAST had it scanned for a chip, and checked the Lost Cat ads?

Let's just hope the other kittens had better names.
