Today, my friend asked me if I could watch her mother's cats while they go on vacation. I agreed since her house is on my way to work. When I talked to her mother, I found out she has 30-something cats. She reckons she lost count. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was over at a friend's house feeding her cats while she was on vacation. After feeding the four of them, I found an extra cat under the sofa. Thinking it was an intruding stray, I kicked it out. She actually has 5 cats. FML
Today, I'd agreed to watch my friend's cats for a few weeks. I'd always promised myself not to become a "crazy cat lady" like her. It's the third day and I danced with the cats and apologised to them for my bad dancing. FML
Today, I had to buy more supplies for the cat my friend asked me to pet sit for 2 weeks. Her 2-week vacation ended over 3 years ago. FML
Today, my neighbor let me know that they've been taking care of my cats while I was away, including letting them in and out of my house. I don't own a cat. FML
Today, I took in an old friend’s fat cat for a month until she finds a place to live. Turns out the cat isn’t fat, just pregnant. I found out when I found two of her dead kittens in my living room. FML
Today, I've been assigned to watch my friend's cat while he's away from home. His cat is 22 years-old and very grumpy. Most of my time has been spent making sure she's not dead, and getting attacked when I accidentally interrupt her naps. I've already got a few scratches. This is gonna be a long few days. FML
Today, I realised the extent of my wife's cat obsession when I received an $850 bill for the air conditioner she leaves on for our 5 cats while we are at work. FML
Today, I visited a friend's house, where I found out he has a trio of very friendly cats in his yard. After playing with them for a bit, I went inside. An hour later, my friend informed me that one of them had died. None of them were showing any signs of being near death. I'm sad and confused. FML
Today, my neighbor knocked on my door and asked if I'd seen her cat. I helped her search the hallway, basement, and garden for 30 minutes. We finally found it sitting inside my apartment, where I had apparently been living with it for three days without noticing. FML
Today, I was outside with my two new kittens. A woman came rushing over, saying how glad she was that they were outside. She then started complaining that she had only been able to see them through the windows previously. I have no idea who she is or where she lives. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What I would do is put a call into Animal Control to clear most of the cats out and when she comes back play dumb and say animal control just "showed up out of no where" and that you couldn't stop them. Haveing 30 cats isn't healthy for the women or the cats. it's impossible to take care all 30 cats properly

It could be that the mother was NOT a creepy cat lady. She could be like two friends I have and take care of some sick and/or homeless cats and try to find them a home on the weekend. But having 30+ is overdoing it. OP, you definitely should have asked how many cats there were.

Why the hell are you complaining about 30-something cats in a house? Do you not know that 30 cats = loads of catnip? Get high off of that stuff.

you should totally find out these things before making a commitment to watch someone else's pets!

Wow ya I agree with #2......The first thing I'd do is ask how many cats and if there are any special instructions regarding their care (alergies, medications etc) 30+ wow that is way too many cats to take care of for 1 person no matter how much that person loves them all...true definition of a crazy cat lady!!

Call animal control the first day she's gone. Have them take ALL of them. Open all the windows and con someone into taking out all the litter.

totally agree, and I'm pretty sure it's also illegal to have that many cats.

You asshole!! It's not healthy to have so many cats but you can't just do that. Have you ever considered the fact this lady light actually CARE about them. How would she feel is that happened?? Jerk.

I love cats go surround yourself with them and their dirty litterboxes (or you could call the ASPCA)

at least if a couple of them die she shouldnt know the difference

The upside is that if she lost count, if you manage to kill off a few of them she is not going to know the difference.
