Today, while I was pet-sitting for my boyfriend's parents, one of their dogs killed one of their kittens. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents, and now they have a dead rabbit because I sat on it. FML
Today, while I was driving around the neighborhood, I passed my neighbors' house only to see their dog with a full-grown dead cat in its mouth. Only one family owns a cat in our neighborhood. FML
Today, I was snuggling with my neighbors four week old kitten while babysitting their kids. I fell asleep, rolled over, and woke up next to a dead kitten. FML
Today, I walked in on my parents discussing how to kill our cat, and how to make it look like an accident. FML
Today, my boyfriend got irrationally pissed at me because his cat decided to sit on my lap instead of his. FML
Today, my dog proudly brought home a rabbit he'd killed. The same rabbit that belongs to my neighbor's daughter. FML
Today, my dad killed my pet rats. They were playing on the sofa, and he thought they were vermin. This would have been understandable if the reason he came over wasn't to meet them, and they hadn't been wearing bright pink walking harnesses. FML
Today, I found the dog I lost while I was dog sitting. It was with its new adoptive family. FML
Today, while out of town, I got a hysterical phone call from my teenage nephew who was pet-sitting at my house. My geriatric dog, who seemed fine when we left, had died during the night. Now my family is mourning the dog and my nephew is traumatized. FML
Today, my boyfriend's vicious dog, which he got as a security measure and growls and barks at me whenever I go near it, was caught on our security camera playing like a puppy with a burglar, while the other two burglars cleaned out all our valuables. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's horrible :( I am sorry you had to witness that! This happened to me once when I was about 15. They were my grandparents pets.

And all that money they almost saved on cat insurance by switching to Geico, gone.

You might not be the best petsitter...

Oh my god... I'd be in tears. How do you even explain that? Was the dog usually rough with the kitten? If so they shouldn't have been allowed near each other, in which case, unless you were uninformed of this, it was likely your fault. But that's still horrible. The poor kitty :(

I was just reminded once again why I'm not a dog person. Oh, I don't hate all dogs, if they're sweet and friendly and stuff, but once when I was younger my parents got a dog and she got into my room and killed one of my guinea pigs. Also friendly dogs can turn very unfriendly in a second, sometimes for no obvious reason, like when another dog we owned just turned on my mother and he had to be put down. And then there was the incident when I was just walking down the road doing absolutely wrong and minding my own business when somebody's rottweilers who were just wandering freely... Anyway, dogs have no moral conscience to tell an innocent person apart from a dangerous one, and lack the intelligence to know that not all small creatures are their prey, contrary to what dog people think.

I had a dog that loved to hunt mice and rabbits outside. However, he wouldn't hurt my hamster at all. Once it got out and he showed us where it was by following it around. He never once hurt it. Dogs are smart enough to differentiate between prey and playmate. They also almost always know the difference between a good person and bad unless there's something wrong with them or they are trained badly.

Agreed 53. A lot of people have dog issues because they buy a dog based on cuteness and have no actual knowledge of the breed. You have to research the best breed for your lifestyle. If you buy a dog that is bred to hunt small prey or even specifically rodents, like a Westie, then you probably would have expected them to be very excited by your hamsters and, unless trained otherwise, why wouldn't they kill them? All it takes is a good breed match for your lifestyle and training is SO important.

36, I feel like some bad experiences have given you a bad outlook for all dogs. There are some great ones. I'm scared of dogs, but once I get used to one I'm okay with it and trust it. Grouping all dogs or all cats together is as bad as racism.

Find a new cat, spray paint it took like the old one and hope it doesn't destroy the house.

Catastrophe already has cat in it, no need to butcher the rest of the spelling.
