Today, after seeing my cat struggle to use the litterbox and produce nothing for two days, I caved and took him to the emergency vet, fearing a UTI. It wasn't. $200 and 2 Lyft rides later, he's stoned out of his mind and peeing just fine. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I paid $70 to learn from the vet that my cat doesn't have a UTI, he's just developed a fetish for peeing on plastic bags. FML
Today, I dropped $1600 at the emergency vet because I thought my 14 year-old cat was constipated or obstructed. He was neither. He just had lots of gas in his intestines. I paid $1600 to find out my cat needed to fart. FML
Today, I was nervous about taking my cat to the vet for a UTI, because money’s a little tight. Turns out the antibiotics weren’t that expensive, but he wants at least $1,000 for dental surgery she apparently “needs.” FML
Today, I took my cat to the vet for an x-ray. They found three dollar coins in his stomach. The surgery to remove them is $600. FML
Today, I'm sitting at the vet's office while they run expensive tests on my cat. This is to make sure he doesn't have a bowel obstruction from eating the condom that my partner and I used last night. FML
Today, after my landlord has refused to fix the bathroom plumbing problem in my apartment for several days, I had to buy cat litter for myself. FML
Today, I paid $325 to have the vet tell me that my 19-year-old cat ISN'T dying, she just had anxiety shits because we were gone on vacation for so long. FML
Today, my cat was too overweight to get out of the litter box, so he gave up, and went to sleep. I had to pick him up out of his own waste and clean him up. FML
Today, I took my dog to the vet because he hadn't eaten his food in three days, was drinking a lot of water, and was peeing a lot (all signs of antifreeze poisoning). I spent $200 at the vet to tell me that my dog is fine and just didn't like his current food. FML
Today, I found out after $200 worth of checks and tests, three rugs being ruined from her peeing and pooping on them, that my cat isn't sick. She just has really bad separation anxiety. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

He was stoned for 2 days straight and that's not a medical issue?

Actually, it's much more likely that the vet himself gave Kitty Kat some sort of pain opioid to help it more easily urinate. Note that OP only said that afflicted feline had been having difficulty (voiding) for 2 days (that implies pain), not that it was already falling over stoned.

So it was the Lyft rides themselves and not the vet who got 'im going again??? ;-) So what was the source of the "stoniness" that stymied pussycat's piddle progress? Your own stash of hash, me lass? Lol --Unconscious Poet

Sounds like kitty got the wrong kind of cat nip and was tripping balls big time 😹

Sounds like the RIGHT kind to me.

You waited two days to take your cat that's not peeing to the vet? You know that can kill them, right? Sorry OP, but YDI

am i stupid or everyone else for thinking the vet gave the cat drugs to help the problem rather than assuming the cat was stoned thus cuasing a problem

You did the right thing. It's entirely possible he was starting to get blocked, but it went away on its own. Blockage in male cats can kill them. It's always better to pay a vet bill and have it turn out to be nothing than to wait and have the worst happen.

I'm confused. Why is the cat stoned out of his mind?
