Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Not now
Today, our cat died. My husband and I had a touching bonding moment together. Our relationship has been strained for months, and I thought this could bring us closer. He decided to bring up politics. FML

Today, I got home from work to find my boyfriend sobbing hysterically over the death of his cat. The only cat he could be talking about is the one on his Sims account. FML

Today, I was crying because my cat died. My boyfriend cupped my face in his hands, looked me straight into the eyes and said, "I love seeing you cry." FML

How could you?
Today, despite me not liking cats, which my wife knew, she got a cat anyway. Her cat went for a walk outside and was hit by a car. I rushed outside to help the cat but found she was already dead, and the culprit had driven away. When my wife found out that her cat was dead, she thought I'd killed her. FML

Hello?
Today, I lost my cat. It's deaf, so no matter what I do it can't hear me. FML

Today, I took my wife's cat to the vet for her yearly check up. I'm finishing the day at the hospital with multiple bite wounds and a deep gash in my leg. My wife chose to comfort her cat instead. FML

Today, my roommate's noisiest cat passed away. My previously-silent cat has decided that someone has to fill the void, and has been running around the apartment howling ever since. FML

Today, I've been trying to adopt a cat with little success since my last one died. My other cat, who had grown attached to him when she realized he was dying, has been lazier and more prone to seeking attention than before since he passed away. I now know cats can suffer from depression. I feel bad now. FML

Poor old Raymond…
Today, my mother finally had her beloved Siamese cat cremated. The cat has been dead for over a week and she has been keeping it on her bed, stroking its fur and saying, "She looks like she's sleeping" and "She's so cold." To top it all off, she's been calling me by the cat's name for three years. FML

As long as it doesn't last too long this shouldn't be too bad. He clearly cared deeply for his cat and is grieving.

Sorry to hear about your cat OP. Maybe you need to buy a new pet to help your husband.

You shouldn't get a new pet immediately. You should grieve for your pets. They aren't just things you can replace.

I never said replace. I'm saying add a new member to the family.

I wouldn't consider adopting until the husband is ready to bring home a new furbaby. (Adopt or rescue, not buy.) Some people have to wait a long time while others don't. I adopted a cat two weeks after my sweet Miss Kitty died, but that's because I was lonely and there are so many cats who need a home. OP, there's a website called PetLoss.com that might help your husband. It helped me in my time of grief. As for his tendency to call you by the cat's name, ignore him if he doesn't call you by your name. But try to be supportive. It's never easy losing a pet, even when the loss was expected.

Want to give him a feel of your nails in revenge?

That's a little insane. Sorry OP, FYL.

Just comfort him through the grief. Time will take care of the rest. *Usually*
