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

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 just don't understand crazy cat people. I love animals too and appreciate those who rescue them, but really, having to share a "forever home" with 15 other cats probably isn't much better for them than whatever shelter they came from. Plus, how do you stand the smell? And good luck to whoever comes over to your house who's allergic to cats. You might need to tell your wife it's you or the cats at some point, and check to see if Pickles has a microchip or some indication that he already has a home.

I love it that your wife is so passionate about saving animals. Maybe think about helping her set up a rescue and foster non profit so she can still do her passion but not have to take all the cats herself. My close friend just did this with dogs just a year ago and now has saved and placed THOUSANDS of dogs in my town. It's incredible!

You should never give animals away for free. Lots of labs get animals that way, then there's the snake people that get free animals & feed them to their snakes & just down right cruel people. I'd never give an animal to a stranger! You gotta ask for some $$ to try and weed out the whackos!

I don't think that many cats is legal to own....Isn't the limit 9?

How do you know for sure they are strays. Not all owners have their cats wear collars, mine does and she also likes to wander the neighborhood. I'm just curious no hate.

YDI for being such a pushover.

Stop complaining -- most guys would give anything to get to live in a cathouse.

i think you kind of deserve it. u n ur wife should be able to reach a compromise. if u dont talk to her n just keep lettin all these cats in ur home, ur just as bad as her. if u wanna get rid of some, drop 2 or 3 off at the animal shelter while shes at work n say they ran away
