Animals and Kids: Today, my kid felt bad that our cat didn't get an Easter egg...

Today, my kid felt bad that our cat didn't get an Easter egg hunt at Easter so he has hidden sardines around the house for her to find. The house reeks and I don't know how many are left to find. FML

Today, my six-year-old daughter organized a treasure hunt… for our cat. She hid the contents of an entire bag of cat food all around the house. FML

Crybabies

Today, I had an Easter Egg Hunt in my backyard for my kids. When they collected all the eggs, they opened them and to their dismay there was no candy inside. When I bought them, I thought they already came with candy. It’s been two hours and my kids won’t stop crying. FML

Today, it was easter and I thought it might be fun to look for eggs with my little brother. My parents told me to take the ones in the higher places that my brother couldn't reach. All of his eggs were filled with candy or money. Each one of mine had a note saying 'maybe when you lose weight'. FML

Today, I found out that my cat has been secretly stealing my socks and hiding them under the couch, when I found a pile of 15 socks after I finally moved my furniture to vacuum the floor underneath. FML

The hunt is on

Today, it's Easter Sunday and from what I can hear, my neighbors invented a very special kind of Easter egg hunt. Maybe they hid them in the walls and furniture? Because getting at them sure seems to involve power tools. FML

Today, I realized I'm missing my diamond earrings. After ripping apart the vacuum bag and exhausting all other options I'm pretty sure my new cat ate them. I'm going to go sift through several days worth of cat shit now. FML

Chilling

Today, while spring cleaning, my cat came into the kitchen with a live mouse in her mouth. She looked me dead in the eyes and dropped the mouse, which then ran into my bedroom. It's been 4 hours and I still can't find it. Where's the cat? Chilling like nothing happened. FML

Today, I woke up and decided to make my mom a special Easter breakfast in bed. I pre-heated the oven to bake the sausage just the way she likes. Guess where my easter basket was. FML

Today, while doing some spring cleaning, I found the remains of my goldfish, which I was sure my cat ate last year. FML

Today, at a big Easter egg hunt, the kids found a wild bunny. Everyone smiled and "aww"ed, until my dog caught and ate it in front everyone. FML

While sardines probably weren't the best choice to hide, your son's reasoning behind it is adorable.

Your kid also doesn't know when Easter is. Jesus! <groggy voice offscreen> "Yeah? I'm awake, I'm awake."

I feel bad for you, because that's gonna turn into a maggot attraction sooner rather than later. For next year, maybe you should get some cat nip cat toys and tell your kid to hide those, to avoid a repeat.

OP, borrow a few more cats ... or a beagle/ basset hound who love to eat stinky, smelly, dead things! Then watch each/ listen for barking to see if some fish can't be reached. BoL! :-)

This FML seems a bit fishy to me... Sorry I'll leave.

Why isn't your cat finding them?

Kitty probably doesn't like sardines, or the sardines could have been oil packed which, in my experience, most cats dislike.

This is totally a YDI because you're looking for them yourself. Quit stealing your cat's enjoyment.

Your son doesn't know either I bet.

Yes, because hitting someone teaches them why what they did was wrong through osmosis. OP could instead decide to be a decent human being and a non-abusive parent by talking to their child about why hiding food is a bad idea.
