Today, I took my cat to the vet. He said he felt a strange lump that could be serious. I got really upset and picked her up, crying. The vet then told me I had to put her down. Absolutely devastated by having to euthanize my cat, I passed out. He meant I had to put her back on the table. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to put my 17 year-old cat down. I cried the whole way up to the vet's office and back. After finally coming to terms with the situation, and trying to forget, my dad's friend walks up to me and says, "So, I heard you killed your cat?" FML
Today, I saved a kitten from the streets, cleaned her up and asked the vet what I should do with her because she was the sweetest thing and my cat has a highly contagious illness. The vet had to put her down. FML
Today, I had to put my cat to sleep after she was in an accident. While I was crying hysterically, the vet asked me for $230. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boss that the reason I was sobbing hysterically as she told me that I was getting a pay raise was because I was going to the vet to have my sick and dying cat put down. Good news at a bad time. FML
Today, my cat was hit by a car. I took it to the vet expecting the worst but they told me that she’d be fine. I was so happy I didn't even mind paying the $50 bill. The next morning my cat was dead. Having her put down humanely would have cost $45, I paid $5 extra to have her die in my kitchen. FML
Today, I was the designated emotional support person for my friend's mom as she went to have her sick cat put down. The cat was aggressive towards the male vet. She said, "She doesn't like men" to which the vet replied, "Well, soon that won't be a problem." The willpower it took both of us to not yell at him, or worse… FML
Today, I was on a date with a girl I've been crushing on for a while. At one point we started talking about pets we'd had. I wanted to show my sensitive side, so I told her how I sadly had to get my beloved cat euthanized earlier that week, and had buried her in my backyard. Her response? "Ew." FML
Today, I was sent a letter by the vet, saying my cat was late for her yearly checkup. My cat died last week and I'd had her cremated by the same people who had sent the letter. FML
Today, after I had planned a romantic weekend for my boyfriend and me, with an itinerary of dinner, events and outings, it got cut short when he had to have his cat put down, which he had for 12 years. FML
Today, I witnessed the most horrifying thing I’d ever seen: my beloved 15 year-old cat having a seizure. The vet says she’s fine and is in remarkably good health for her age, but I don’t think I’ll ever get that image out of my head. FML

Hello Sadcat, I'm sorry to hear about the lump in your kitty and hope it's nothing. The misunderstanding sounds hilarious and probably scared the hell out of the doctor. :)

Hopefully you didn't pass out with your cat in your arms.

This is a joke. I've heard it before

When I first read this I thought you meant the cat said it felt a strange lump in it's throat, not the vet. I fail.

Crazy cat lady?

Bro. It's a cat. You feed it and clean up after it and it returns the favor by ignoring you and sticking its butthole in your face. Get a dog.

**** off. I've had three cats and two dogs and loved them all more than life itself, even if two of the cats didn't like me (one of them is currently a kitten, so I think she likes me just fine but just wants to run around the house). I've actually lost one, and it was devastating. He died almost three years ago and I still get emotional around his date of death and what we designated as his birthday (which was yesterday, by the way). He was my baby. My pissy, poorly-behaved baby.

I just read one about a dog dying, and it's four in the morning with no sleep. I cried after reading that you cried

Reject love. That's what I do and look how happy I am.

Having lost a cat and a dog to horrible diseases (they had to be euthanized) and having an elderly (but healthy) cat, I'd probably react the same way. I hope the lump is either nothing or is benign and easily treatable.
