Today, I took my lunch break to buy my mom a pretty orchid. I took it to her apartment (to which I have a key), placed it on her coffee table with her card, and went back to work, pleased with my surprise. She called me later to ask why I got her a stick in a pot of dirt. Her cat ate the orchid. FML

(This is my FML, made an account after the submission...) plethora, orchids run about $20-30 and the cat had eaten ALL of it. Not just the flowers...stem too. So I don't think it's going to grow back. Orchids are delicate. :)

At least the cat had an expensive meal.

Why would you ever buy a $20 flower?

That sucks I'm sorry. On my birthday I came out to my cats systematically knocking budding flowers off of a potted plant my fiancé gave me for the occasion. Those cats became outdoor(instead of indoor/outdoor) cats that very moment. Indoor plants are expensive and generally take a lot of care.

Cats and plants don't mix. My cat used to eat grass and plants back when we had him.

She should watch the cat now, too - some orchids are poisonous... And ouch - I feel for you. I totally see my cats doing that.

If there's still a "stick" in the pot of dirt, there's a stem, and roots too.

#6, I think by 'stick' she means the stick that was holding the plant up, and that the cat ate the ENTIRE plant.

#1 Orchids only flower every few months. It's a pain when they get knocked off or eaten by pets. Specially if it only just flowered.

Today, my roommate and I realised our freezer hasn't been working for days. This would be slightly less awful if she hadn't been storing dead rats for her pet snakes in there. Let's just say the smell is interesting. FML
