Today, I found out that the tinsel on my Christmas tree is worth a couple of hundred euros per strand. Well, that's how much the two that were surgically removed from my cat have cost me. At least the cat's going to be fine. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I pulled my Christmas tree out of my mother-in-law's garage, only to find out rats had ruined all the lights. The tree cost $2600. FML
Today, we spent hours decorating the Christmas tree, perfectly balancing the lights, ornaments, and tinsel. Ten minutes later, the cat thought it was a right time to reenact Die Hard and climbed up the tree, knocking it over. Now my ornaments are shattered, and my cat is smugly sitting in the wreckage. FML
Today, I spent 15 minutes trying to get my cat out of our seven-foot Christmas tree. Once he was done, he tore about the house and broke the nativity scene, beheading baby Jesus and a wise man in the process. The tree is fucked. FML
Today, I took my cat to the vet for an x-ray. They found three dollar coins in his stomach. The surgery to remove them is $600. FML
Today, for the first time ever, my family bought a real Christmas tree instead of using our old fake one. Today, I also found out I'm allergic to Christmas trees. My family won't get rid of it because they paid so much for it and intend to "get their money's worth". FML
Today, to try to have a less depressing Christmas, I've put up a small tree in my apartment and wrapped some presents for myself. I woke from a nap to the sound of my cat vomiting. What did she throw up on? The presents. FML
Today, I went Christmas shopping for my cat. I still haven't bought presents for my family, yet my cat already has several small gifts under the tree and an outfit to wear around the house. I really need a new hobby. FML
Today, I was nervous about taking my cat to the vet for a UTI, because money’s a little tight. Turns out the antibiotics weren’t that expensive, but he wants at least $1,000 for dental surgery she apparently “needs.” FML
Today, my apartment was broken into. The thief stole my TV, $350, and my Christmas tree. There is still a trail of broken ornaments from my living room to the door. FML
Today, I had to put my cat to sleep after she was in an accident. While I was crying hysterically, the vet asked me for $230. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Shiny things basically shout at cats to play with them.

I think it's safe to say your cat is purr-ty inconsiderate. The long term effects could've been catastrophic. Litterally.

Never have tinsel/garland when you have pets OP! Lucky your cat is okay. I remember my cat ingested some when he was a kitten and I ended up pulling the string out of his ass with shit attached on the other end. I learned my lesson. There hasn't been tinsel in my house in almost 15 years and my cat still like to play in the Xmas tree.

If you have a cat and you put tinsel on the tree, then you damn well deserve it. The cat didn't though.

Who puts tinsel on a tree when they have a cat?! Seriously people??? I have dogs and don't even put it on my tree. You definitely deserved this one!

I have 3 cats and we put tinsel on our christmas tree. They've never eaten it. They do play with it but they never actually eat it.

Yes, and a lot of people have driven drunk and been fine, but it doesn't make it safe or worth the risk. It may well turn out fine but it doesn't mean you should take the chance of something that has such a tendency to happen with such disastrous results.

It was inevitable, cats were born with the desire to cause mayhem!

Most of us have a working sense of empathy. I'm sorry yours can't be fixed.
