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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while driving, I witnessed the neighbors dog viciously shaking a black cat. So I slammed on the brakes and jumped out of the car, frantically chasing around the huge dog screaming "Help, someone please help!" I finally managed to tackle him and release the cat. It was a stuffed animal. FML
Today, my cat got outside and had the bright idea to walk in the middle of the road, right as a car was coming. The driver didn't notice him, so I had to sprint over there, leap into the road, and toss my cat to safety. He's fine, aside from being soaked (he landed in a puddle), but I've felt better. 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 swerved to miss hitting a kitten, over-corrected, hit and killed the cat, and totaled my truck by hitting a parked car. FML
Today, I ran over a cat while driving home. I tried to keep myself together but couldn't help but cry because of how bad I felt. Through my tears I failed to notice a porcupine in the middle of the road. Yep, I hit him too. FML
Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML
Today, I got into my truck after a long day at work, only to notice that a large section of the seats and doors had been destroyed by a feral cat that had somehow gotten trapped inside. I’m still not sure how it got in. FML
Today, a stray cat climbed up into my car's engine for shelter at some point last night. Guess how I found out this morning. FML
Today, someone did a hit and run on my car hard enough to knock it onto the curb from its parking spot, destroying the bumper. They didn't leave any info behind. After taking care of police reports and such, I got home and took off my shoes just to step in a puddle of my roommate's horrible cat's diarrhea. FML
Today, I was driving down the road when a dog suddenly ran across the street. In attempt to spare its life, I swerved to the side of the road and rear-ended another car. The car I hit belonged the family who owned the dog. Now I have to pay them because I saved their dog's life. FML

So did you learn your lesson? Leave the damn cat alone, should have ran the damn thing over and called it good. Then you could have told how you ran over a terrified cat to put it out of it's misery! That would have been a good deed!

Well, you did the right thing :)

I know that your intentions were good and all, but cats have the common sense to move once a car is approaching them. i would only worry if it were a dog. but...forgetting to put your car in park...YDI for that.

Well you did a good deed. Which is very good. Which also means you are a nice person. FYL tho. You might want to get tested to rabies....

I hope you are aware that at this point in time the only way to test for rabies is to kill who or whatever you want to test, brain tissue is required to test for rabies, so she can't just go to the hospital to get a test.

yeah, Ignore the symptoms, kill them! The fact that rabies causes hydrophobia, foaming, and an aggravation does nothing. You need the brain tissue. They used to call rabies hydrophobia because that was one of the symptoms, but screw it, slice the scalp open

DOHOHOHOHO You rascal [edit] WOAH EFF thanks for moving the comment, FML. This was responding to whoever said "yeah you have a nice pussy"

Good of you for wanting to help the cat. In the future though be mindful that a scared cat is very likely to scratch. If you still need to pick them up. Wrap a blanket or sweater or something around them. Make sure to cover their head. And make sure to watch those scratches. You can get illnesses like cat scratch disease.

at least you helped the cat though, even if it didn't appreciate the deed. a life is worth more than a car.

Ydi for thinking a random cat you didn't know wouldn't hurt you. Should have just honked your horn.
