Today, after recovering from pneumonia and a severe asthma attack caused by my dad's fiancée's cat, he chose to keep the cat. I can't go to his house without having to go to the hospital later. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my wife got drunk and adopted a kitten. She thought I’d be mad because of the money. Nope, I’m pretty sure I’m mad because I have the most severe type of cat allergy that could kill me. I can’t go in the house now until everything is sterilised, so I’m back at my dad's house. FML
Today, my cat managed to lock my dad and me outside of our house. 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, I went to the doctors and was told I would need an inhaler. My mom came back from the pharmacy and told me the copay of $35 dollars was way too expensive, so she is making me use my cat's old inhaler. My mom values my cat's ability to breathe more then my own. FML
Today, after 25 years living with my dad, who is highly allergic to cats, I was finally able to adopt two kittens to live in my new place, just like I have always wanted. Guess who else is highly allergic to cats? Me, it seems. FML
Today, I went to the doctor to find out why I've been feeling so sick the past several weeks. Turns out, I'm severely allergic to the cat of my girlfriend of two years. I told her "It's me or the cat." She chose the cat. FML
Today, I spat up blood and had horrible chest pain. My mom still made me go to school, claiming she needed to take the cat to the vet instead of taking me to the doctor. FML
Today, I told my dad to go to the doctor, as he’s been hacking his lungs up every minute for a month, and I've not had a decent night’s sleep since then. He insists he’s not sick, and my mom yelled at me because she sleeps in the same room and is able to sleep through it. FML
Today, I'm going to visit my mother in hospital. She broke her hip and my father refused to take her to hospital for 6 days, insisting she would get better. My dog had cancer surgery, which will cost me a whole month's salary. I’m still recovering from 2 major surgeries myself, and my kids are being total dorks. FML
Today, due to the heat, I had a deadly asthma attack. Where was my inhaler? My dad pawned it for beer money. What did my dad do about my attack? Told me to quit being a Drama Queen. I had to go across the street and beg for a ride to the ER from my neighbor. FML

Hes an asshole. Sorry Op. You deserve someone better

No he's not. I can't see why OP's dad should make his fiancée permanently get rid of her cat when OP can just take anti-allergy medication before he goes to their house (yes, it really works, and it's cheap). Even if OP lives there, all he has to do is take some Benadryl every day, that's what cat-owners that are allergic to cats do.

hmm maybe just maybe he's giving you clear indication that youre not wanted and that he prefers the cat's company over yours.

Or maybe he doesn't want to force the women he's marrying to get rid of her beloved pet. I agree it suck for OP but I wouldn't want to give up my cat either.

It's clear who your father prefers to have around... Don't feel bad... At least you tried, and can point this out someday when he accuses you of not visiting...

So have him come to your house.

Your dad's fiancée better have a pawsible excuse for keeping that cat and putting you at risk.

Maybe because 1 she loves her pet and 2 OP doesn't live with her father. So stop trying to make it look like the father or his soon to be wife are terrible people.

It was a pun

I know. I just don't care for puns.

Cat dander allergy doesn't cause pneumonia. And I don't think I would make the decision to get rid of a pet I have had for some time because someone who doesn't live with me is allergic. Have them over to your place. Life goes on.

No OP is saying she got pneumonia first then after the had an allergic reaction to the cat.

#34, Purrhaps you should read the FML again. OP said that the cat was the reason for the pneumonia and asthma attack.

I thought they meant that they had the asthma attack from the cat on top of pneumonia. Who needs reading comprehension anyways.

I would've kept the cat too. Sorry but they do have medications you can take if you are allergic to animals. Carry an epi. And have the family get togethers at your house or in a public place.

It's called allergy medicine bro. Plus the fiancé had the cat before you. She shouldn't have to get rid of it just because you're a puss.

Cool comment bro

Assumedly, OP is already taking medicine to control her/his asthma, and it would be unfair for him/her to be expected to take heavier dosages or stronger meds just to be around the dad's fiancée's cat. Besides, asthma meds are freaking expensive. That said, I hope OP and the dad can come to some sort of arrangement so that the fiancée can keep the pet without any hard feelings.

Well it'a kinda tricky to expect him to get rid of his pet. Pets are for life, not to be disposed of when inconvenient. He can always visit you and your fiancée at your place.
Treveyon56 14
You misread. The cat belongs to the fiancee who is marrying OP's dad. Though I agree with you.

Not your house. I would keep the cat. There are plenty of other places that you can go to see your family - they are only being dicks if they always have large family gatherings at the place with the cat, so excluding you. I don't think you can expect them to get rid of a pet (and anyone who owns pets knows how extreme it is to lose them) just so that you can pop in every now and then.
