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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

No, this was not the right thing to do. One should never treat a wild animal, or really any animal they don't know this way. Wild animals don't like this sort of attention and can be frightened of humans, and they can also pose a risk to people if they have rabies or something. If it's in the street and should not be there, just chase it out of the street.

Hey, i'm really glad that you saved the animal. It was a really good deed and i praise you for that. I feel sorry that you got scratched by it but it's only because the cat's unfamiliar with you. I'v been scratched countless times. Keep up the good work. =)

If the cat is stupid enough to stand in the middle of the road, it deserves to be removed from the gene pool. Natural selection, my friends. ;) Besides, it was an ungrateful little bastard.

YDI... did you think you were gonna take a wild cat home so you two could lick milk out of a small bowl while watching Lifetime network?! Then to top it off your ignorance caused damage to someone elses stuff. Good going!

Okay, SO RANDOM but... what area of Ontario? It's the longest of long shots, but my sister's cat didn't come back inside last week, so I may as well ask.

Mischeifkitty- my mistake I meant to say rabies shots. You don't want to risk it
