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

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

People's obsession with animals is beyond me.. yes, it is sad but come the **** on!!

It's not an obsession. The man obviously really loved this cat... I'd be devastated if I lost one of my animals (Not to the same extent. Death is a part of life and is inevitable, so no sense in going into denial). It's hard not to fall in love with such wonderful creatures when they can brighten up your day and be there for you when you need them the most.

Maybe he just loves ******* cats.... erm..., I mean he just ******* loves cats....

I respect your opinion but my point is, we're in a society where animals are more loved than children. I mean there are situations where if a human and a dog were sleeping in a house and it catches on fire, most of the sympathy and attention goes to the dog and people ask "OMG is the dog okay?" I don't hate pets neither will I, but if I'm the OP, I'd clock that gigantic bitch ass husband. And yeah, fml community, you can all thumb down as much as you like, I ran out of ***** to give anyways.

#35 a lot of people treat animals like part of the family because they are. we give them love and affection & we take care of them for how ever many years they live....animals can give love and affection back as well. we become attached to our pets/animals so yes when they die it is very sad and heart breaking AND can cause people to be very upset. if you had a dog or cat for 10+ years wouldn't you cry (or be upset or grieve) too if he/she died and you really truly loved him/her? if you don't cry (or grieve or get upset) when your pet died then it shows that you never really cared about that animal/pet.

I, for one, welcome our new cat overlords...

I don't think so. We live in a society where people treat pets like their children; but in your example, if I knew that the child was safe then is ask about the pet. If I didn't know anything, I'd ask if /everyone/ got out alright.

I love my dogs and cat as much as I love my son and husband. There is nothing weird about loving your animals as much as people.

56- I think you are talking about my comment. I can't tell you how many times I've read on a forum, "**** people, I only care about animals" A lot of people put animals on this unhealthy pedestal and act like they are all sweet and innocent. When in reality some animals are brutal. How many times has a dog mauled a toddler to death unprovoked? Many. Yet, it some people's minds, animals can do no wrong. I personally believe that humans are superior to other animals even though I truly care for animals. Just my personal opinion.

If you die, do you realize your pets would eat you. Love your animals, sure, I get that, not for me. Do not think for a second they are equal to people, they are not sentient beings.

I understand the grieving over a cat (or any pet), but calling other people by their pet's name for "comfort" is a tad weird...

Well, some people love their pets unconditionally. OP why don't you get him a new cat?

It's one way to cure his grief but honestly I pray this passes fast

It OP's name is Catherine, then it's not such a problem.

I had two dogs and when the older one passed away 2yrs ago, I was heartbroken. I was so used to calling both dogs' names (did this every day for 12yrs) and it just felt wrong to only call Gidget's. So for awhile I'd still call out "Austin, Gidget"
