Today, my boss's cat died. I'm expected to attend the service. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my husband's cat died. He has resorted to calling me by her name to comfort himself. 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 was crying at my desk at work. My colleague tried to cheer me up by saying: "Don't worry, I'm sure you will find a new job soon". I didn't even know I was fired. I was crying because my cat died this morning. FML
Today, my boss brought his cat to the office. Despite our no pet policy, I still managed to get the blame when the crazy animal scratched 3 colleagues and peed on the floor after my boss left for bathroom. Apparently I was supposed to be "looking after it". 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, my boss announced he will be taking bereavement leave due to his father passing away. For some reason I’ll never understand, I got the urge to laugh. I tried so hard to hold it in but it was very obvious. If looks could kill, I wouldn’t be able to write this. FML
Today, my roommate's noisiest cat passed away. My previously-silent cat has decided that someone has to fill the void, and has been running around the apartment howling ever since. FML
Today, my boss is such an unfeeling asshole that he seriously thought he could demand I only stay at my best friend's funeral for 45 minutes then return to work, because it was “just a friend, not a relative', and that when his mother died he "took a whole 2 hours off and was back at work by 11:45.” FML
Today, I got a promotion. I was really excited until I realized that the only friend I had to celebrate with was my pet cat. FML
Today, I was at a meeting. One of the other members decided to share that their cat had passed away recently. I got an uncontrollable nervous laugh, started crying because I was laughing so hard, and left the room while everyone watched in horror. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

As in the best boss you could only dream of having. Though it would be more like him throwing a funeral for one of Angela's cats.

Quite certain your other colleagues aren't brimming with excitement over this either so quit complaining and just spend a couple of hours making your boss happy. I assume the cat meant a lot to her since she's having a service for it.

You should attend with flowers and catnip.

I'm sure the boss will have free drinks and appetizers later on to mourn kitty's departure.

You're a bitch! Just attend! Jesus what happened to compassion?

Why is everyone calling this person a bitch? I love animals to death, and I love helping people. But this is something I would hate to do. Funerals are meant for close people. If you aren't close, then all it is is an awkward situation.

I don't see what the problem is here. I'm sure the boss can't fire those that blow it off, but if OP attends, they get on the boss's good side. F the cat's life, and the boss's. OP's life, not so much.
