Today, a woman walked out of the Humane Society with a cat carrier. I said, "Oh did you adopt him?" She walked past and started crying. She had just brought her cat in to be euthanized. FML

Today, a customer brought his cat in to be euthanized. I told him to "have a nice day" as he was leaving. FML
Today, I took my cat to the vet. He said he felt a strange lump that could be serious. I got really upset and picked her up, crying. The vet then told me I had to put her down. Absolutely devastated by having to euthanize my cat, I passed out. He meant I had to put her back on the table. FML
Today, ever since I had to rehome my cat because he was really mean, I've been wanting to get another one to replace him. I remembered a particular cat I found at the adoption center who seemed to like me a lot, and I decided I wanted to adopt her. When I got there, I found out she unexpectedly died yesterday. FML
Today, my ex took my cat and gave her to an animal shelter while I was at work, saying he can't stand living with her any longer. He's moving out in 2 days. FML

Today, I was on a date with a girl I've been crushing on for a while. At one point we started talking about pets we'd had. I wanted to show my sensitive side, so I told her how I sadly had to get my beloved cat euthanized earlier that week, and had buried her in my backyard. Her response? "Ew." FML
Today, I was the designated emotional support person for my friend's mom as she went to have her sick cat put down. The cat was aggressive towards the male vet. She said, "She doesn't like men" to which the vet replied, "Well, soon that won't be a problem." The willpower it took both of us to not yell at him, or worse… FML
Today, I saved a kitten from the streets, cleaned her up and asked the vet what I should do with her because she was the sweetest thing and my cat has a highly contagious illness. The vet had to put her down. FML

Sometimes you don't have a choice in euthanizing a pet. Or rather, you have a choice between sending your pet to sleep or letting them live in excruciating pain. One of our cats had cancer, and near the end it was painful for her to even walk. We had to euthanize her. The lady probably wasn't crying out of guilt, but out of sadness for the choice she had to make for her beloved pet.

actually its more "humane" to shoot a animal in the head.... you save about 150 $ and its in no pain..... just don't miss.... animals do suffer with the needle... ******* tree humpers....

Yeah but you're also looking at how the owner will feel. Obviously not everyone can shoot their pet in the head

Cheer! Lol that's great. One of my teachers' friends had a parakeet that got extremely sick so he didn't just want to put it in the garbage. So he ended up throwing it at a wall to end it. By god it worked!

Was the lady bringing home her dead cat in the carrier? Or did OP just assume there was a cat in the carrier?

I think you'll find she was on her way to put the cat down.

To all the dumbasses who say that lady was a terrible person, please don't have children. You are possibly too stupid to be allowed to breed. She went to the Humane Society. I highly doubt they would have euthanized a perfectly healthy cat.

Clicked on this one expecting the comments to be full of "It's okay, you didn't know" I could upvote but instead these comments are full of immature brats saying she shouldn't have euthanized her cat and now I'm just angry instead of feeling bad for both the OP and the cat owner.

I'm curious how you turned this poor woman's loss into your misfortune.
