Today, my 17 pound cat fell from a counter. It wouldn't have been a big deal if he didn't try to use my leg as a tree to cling onto on the way down. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while my 18 pound cat was on the edge of the tub watching me shower, he fell in. Apparently, in his mind, the best way to get away from the water is to climb my bare legs. FML
Today, I was reading on my couch when I noticed my cat trying to escape out of an open window. I leapt up to stop her, but in my panic, I tripped over a coffee table leg, slammed my face into a wall, and knocked over a guitar. My cat, meanwhile, just sauntered down, and went off to the kitchen. FML
Today, in the early hours of the morning, my cat started scratching at my legs. I got out of bed and he raced me to the stairs, tripping me. I fell all the way down and landed in cat poop. FML
Today, I was in the middle of my workout when my cat meowed so loudly, it startled me into dropping a 50-pound weight onto my foot. FML
Today, while I was vacuuming, my cat got scared and tripped me. I landed on the vacuum handle between my legs. Not walking too well right now. FML
Today, my cat tried to jump up to the window, and missed. This would have been hilarious if I had not been sleeping under that same window, and then caught him with my face. FML
Today, my cat jumped on my shoulders, but stepped in my hood and choked me and when I panicked she dug her claws into my shoulders. FML
Today, my cat fell into the bathtub while walking along the rim. This wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't in it at the time, and if my skin was immune to being sliced open by a frantic kitty. FML
Today, I tried to put my reclining chair back. My cat and dog were sitting on the very top. It went up in an unexpectedly forceful manner, sending them flying, causing my dog to fall, and my cat to cling for dear life. FML
Today, while walking through my living room, I slipped and nearly fell, narrowly avoiding hitting my head against a nearby door jamb. What did I slip on, you ask? A single cat treat. FML

I don't mean that you deserve getting scratched, but please try to help your cat lose weight. He'll be a lot healthier and happier -- and you can look forward to many more years of being mistaken for a plant :]

I posted earlier on this fml, but people are still posting about the cat being overweight. Has it ever occurred to anyone that the cat might not actually be overweight? 17lbs is heavy yes, but not for a cat who was built to be big. Google Maine Coon. Male cats of this breed NORMALLY weigh between 15 and 25 lbs. Now I'm not saying that the cat of this fml is one of those cats, but I have a cat that is 17lbs easily, and he is pure muscle. Don't assume a cat is fat until you take a look at the animal.

And for the record, what I mean by pure muscle is that unlike heavy cats who are mostly fat, this cat doesn't really have "fat". The weight is muscle, so don't say "I call bs cuz that's impossible." He's slim, and strong.

I can just picture his claws running down your bare leg, leaving big red gashes as he's sliding down

Unless you have a mammoth Maine coon, you definitely deserve it for having such an overweight cat.

I have a scar on my leg and foot from my 16lb cat doing that. She was asleep, rolled off the couch, and tried to catch herself on my leg. The. Used my leg to climb back onto the couch.
