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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 bought a Halloween costume for my cat. FML
Today, I bought my girlfriend a cat. I now have a cat and no girlfriend. FML
Today, I put Christmas wrapping on old books and things I already own, because I realized that it's the only way I'll have anything under the tree this year. FML
Today, I bought my cat a fun toy at the one of a kind craft show. It has catnip in it, which he loves. He flipped out, so I took it away. He won't stop trying to break into the cupboard I put it in. My cat has a drug problem. FML
Today, after spending hours wrapping the presents for Christmas, I came back into the room to find that my dog had lost his toy, knocked over all the presents, and was frantically ripping at everything to find it. FML
Today, I'm celebrating New Year's with my cat. I made her a cake. FML
Today, I stayed up until 4 am. I was waiting for both my cats to fall asleep, so I could play Santa and stuff their stockings in secret. 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, my dad and stepmom came back from a very expensive two-month trip across the world. When they got home, they had more gifts for their cat than for me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is hilarious. That's how my family is with the dogs we have. Cats aren't humans though. Go buy something for your family members already, that should be your new hobby. Crazy cat lady. Lol.

Dogs aren't humans either.

Thanks captain obvious, I know that. I was just relating op and her cat to how my family is with our dogs, they just treat them like humans when we know they're not. Sheesh. Can't believe I have to explain this. Good lord.

I think that's cute! I love shopping for my animals, too.

I don't think buying your cat gifts is a hobby, but I bought my cats stuff before my family. Cats don't care so you can get them anything. People complain if you get them something they don't like. *shrug*

Crazy Cat Lady alert!!!!

I find that really weird to buy a Christmas present to your pet. As if they cared...

They do care, they just don't show it like a human. When you buy a cat a laser or a mouse or any toy, it provides entertainment to a day they may not otherwise do much else... Like any animal, they need stimulation and exercise. I spend most of my day away from home and playing is the way I bond with my babies. Voldemort, my oldest, he went from biting, and scratching for attention... With playing he gets the bad energy out and he's cuddly and loveable. He gets new toys and bags of treats at Christmas and his birthday... It's something to show that I appreciate him and Bellatrix for being in my life. They take care of me emotionally like I take care of them physically.

Of course you have to bond with your pet and play with them. What I mean is that I find stupid to buy them a toy for Christmas, this is a human event. Animals have no idea of what it means. I don't think they'd care that you get them a toy at Christmas or their birthday or anytime of the year, as long as you get them one.

I didn't know that we designate human times of the year and animal times of the year. My cat is my son. He was rescued and I adopted him after he was nearly weed whacked as a baby. I've been there his whole life. To me, he is a little, furry, quadrupedal human, who gets a new toy (a squeaky bird, his favourite) and a big bag of kitty cookies on Christmas like every other human in my life gets a gift.

Time to give away your cat.

Time to get back your common sense. Why on earth should OP give away his or her cat? I mean, sure, they went a bit overboard in buying presents for the cat and not for family and friends, but there's still twelve days til Christmas and lots of time to buy presents.

66- Saying "time to get back your common sense" would imply that 53 had some to begin with, which seems doubtful.
