Today, my elderly neighbor called the police because my cat was in her yard. I now have a citation and a court date. Apparently, there is a leash law for cats in my town, and it is taken very seriously. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got caught trying to steal my own cat back from my neighbor. FML
Today, I discovered that the reason my neighbors have been giving me weird looks while whispering to each other lately is because I've started walking my cat on a leash, and this is apparently "a cause for concern about my mental health." FML
Today, I witnessed my psycho neighbor put her cat in a cage, cross into my backyard, and set the cage down before returning to her house. She then called the cops and claimed I'd stolen her cat. The cops didn't believe my side of the story for a second. FML
Today, when I stepped outside, I found out my neighbors forgot to leash their mean-ass dog when he promptly started charging at me. If not for the black cat who lives outside my house, who I've fed before, jumping in and somehow single-handedly whooping his ass, I'd probably be dead. You don't fuck with stray cats. FML
Today, I was threatened with arrest for refusing to accept a citation for having a dog off leash in a park. It wasn’t my fucking dog! It was a very friendly stray that started following me on my morning walk. I tried to explain myself but the dog wouldn’t leave my side or stop barking at the cop. FML
Today, I received a lovely letter from the council telling me I have to cease the act of "breeding and selling cats" because someone from my Facebook reported me. I'm pretty sure I've never owned a cat or had one in my house. FML
Today, I had to call the cops on my batshit crazy neighbor, who’s repeatedly threatened to steal my dog. I finally got her ass on camera. She swears that my dog is being abused because it prefers to sleep outside instead of being in the house. Imagine that, an animal that likes being outside. FML
Today, I got a citation from my landlord because my puppy couldn't make it to the grass and peed in the shrubs. Later in the evening, I got a citation that my music was too loud. Until I'd submitted my 30-day notice yesterday, no one ever had a problem with me FML
Today, I found out that my cat, that I've had for 3 years, is actually my neighbor's missing cat. FML
Today, my door broke. My normally reclusive, antisocial cat, who runs and hides at the slightest noise, decided to come out and get friendly with the maintenance man. Now I owe a huge fee and my rent is increasing for having a pet I’m not supposed to have. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI for having a cat. I don't see DOGS getting anyone citations and court dates.

Unless it bites someone? Don't you watch the news?

We own our property, our neighbour’s rent. She has two American bull dogs, massive things, I have two Kelpies. Her dogs were throwing them selves at a partially aged pet of the fence and ended up breaking it, to be able to get into my yard to attack my dogs. My pup ended up getting hurt when the fence moved, and needed stitches. I was lucky I was home to pull my two dogs out of my yard into my house where her two dogs then ran around my yard trying to attack through windows etc. I called council and those dogs got cited for damage to common property, and being loose, plus no animal registration and as being dangerous dogs. Those dogs didn’t actually bite anyone/thing but the damage to the fences and my yard they did TRYING to attack my animals landed them in court. Dogs get cited for being loose as well.

I agree people should take care for their pets, but this law is really absurd. Some cats will rip you apart if you try that.

Then they could, I dunno... LIVE INSIDE, being that they're called "HOUSE CATS", usually.

Fricken cat owners.

Wow. That seems odd to me. One of my cats we tried to leash and she was too small for it to work. At least your cat is safe. A neighbor took one of my cats without us knowing and dumped her at an animal shelter an hour away. Due to strong suspicions after hours of her missing my father drove around and finally found her. Her collar had been taken off too.

Screw cats, if I found someone's cat in my yard, I'd stab it.
