Today, my cat thought it was appropriate to bring a bird into the house at 4 a.m.; the bird thought it was appropriate to attack my mom. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was woken up by a bird screaming its guts out. My cat had somehow managed to catch a bird and bring it inside. My 9 a.m. morning began with trying to catch a bird in my own home. FML
Today, I got a new cat for my birthday. It ate my bird right when we got home, then it ran away. FML
Today, I'd had enough of the annoying bird constantly singing in the shrillest bird voice possible outside of my window, so I chased it around the yard, shooing it away, as my cat sat there and watched. FML
Today, it's 1 a.m. and once again a freaking bird has flew into my house from the attic. My cats are of course all crazy right now as it sits in my room, in a high corner beyond reach. My children are sleeping and I have no way to let it outside from where it is right now. Oh and it's freezing outside. FML
Today, I came home to find that my sweet kitten had gotten out and dragged a bird inside, where he ripped it to shreds. I found the bird's head in my underwear drawer. FML
Today, I watched a cat pounce on a small bird and rip it to shreds, feather by feather. It wouldn't have been any worse than mildly disturbing, had I not just spent the last 4 weeks nursing the bird back to health from a broken wing. FML
Today, a bird ran into my window. My overzealous cat ran at it like the Flash and smashed his face in the window. He yelped and ran away, then as I was running to see if he was OK, I slammed my face in the door jamb. FML
Today, I woke up to my disabled mother screaming for me. Fearing the worst, I hopped out of bed only to find that she was yelling because her cat had brought a field mouse inside as a gift. The problem? It was still alive. I had to get it from him and throw it outside. FML
Today, I'm very tired because last night my cat decided to announce to the world that another cat had wandered into the backyard at the top of his lungs. At 2 AM. FML
Today, my mother talked shit about me to the cat while I was in the room. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I would be pissed too if I had been dragged into a house by a cat.

The cat gave your mom the bird.

Sounds like op is selfish.. His/her mom has a dumb cat and gets attacked by the bird and her kid thinks that somehow they are the ones having a rough life... f your moms life is more like it..

I saw it as more of an empathy thing. Like OP cares so much about their mom, that it worried them to see her being attacked/hurt. That and there was probably a lot of noise.

Your cat needs to stop hanging out with the bad birds, next thing you know they'll get it hooked on catnip, steal jewelry, and try pimping your mom!

Keep the cat inside.

I thought the bird should be quite dead after a close encounter with a cat... unless its a bald eagle or something...

Most cats will bring the bird in alive so they can play with it/ share it with their babies (they might view their owner as their baby) I know my cats bring birds, bunnies, and cicadas in alive all the time.

Would it be appropriate at 5 am instead?

my mom thought it was appropriate to blame me and I thought it was appropriate to write this FML. FML

Your cat was doing something similar to what they do to teach kittens to hunt. They start out by bringing you a dead animal, and after you've done something with the dead animal a few times they go to the next stage. The next stage is bringing home alive, but injured animals, so the kittens learn how prey animals fight, as well as how to kill them. The stage after that is bringing an uninsured and alive animal so the kitten ca do a test run. That said, bird killing is one of the reasons animal scientists ask people to not have outside cats- that and even only a few toms and queens in an area can turn into colonies of a 100+ cats in a year pr so.
