Today, my overly-attached 14-year-old cat wanted attention while I was in a heated Skype argument with my girlfriend. Worked up from the fight, I raised my voice and said, "Not now, go away!" He ran to his little bed, had a heart attack and died. I was a complete dick to my cat in his last moments. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I ignored my cat's incessant meowing, and pushed him away every time he wanted to be petted. The next time I walked downstairs I found him dead. FML
Today, my cat played dead just so I would leave him alone. FML
Today, my mom called me an attention seeker and threw a bitch fit because my cat "decided" to die on her birthday. FML
Today, I awoke to my cat sitting on my chest. That wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't tried to get her off. She promptly went crazy and scratched me. My fiancée, who was sleeping next to me, hit me, called me cruel, and told me to apologize to the cat. I did. FML
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
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, my cat sat on me, 30 minutes before I had to go to work. When I picked him up almost immediately after he got comfortable so I could get ready, he looked and sounded absolutely crushed. 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, at the end of a 15 hour shift, my girlfriend and her friends played a "prank" on me by texting me from a random number saying my cat got hit by a car. I immediately burst into tears and lost it in front of my colleagues. My cat is fine. My relationship is the real joke. FML
Today, my girlfriend furiously bitched me out because I got more upset about my phone screen cracking than when she told me about the death of her cat. We hadn't even met when her cat died. Did she expect me to burst into tears from hearing the story? Guess who's single again… FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is probably the most awful FML I've ever read. I'm sorry about your cat, OP :(

So.... catastrophe puns probably not appropriate cuz this one's a bit of a downer. Remember your cat fondly. Hope you worked out your issues with the gf, and remember that anger is rarely the best response.

I've never cried after reading an FML before...
purebliss_fml 19
oh this is just so sad! You obviously didn't mean it OP, I know how hard it is to stay calm during an argument... just try to remember all the happy memories you had with your cat

Are you all mourning a cat? it's a cat not a human being. A cat.

Seriously? Just because it's a cat mean it's death can't be sad?

Either grow a heart or go get you a pet, grow attached to them, love them with all you've got and see what happens when they pass away. It's most definitely heartbreaking. T_T

Considering I like my cats more than I like some people some days, yes, we're mourning a cat. Being a pet does not preclude them from being important or touching on your lives.

My cat has been by my side the whole time I have had him. He does not trust any other human other than me. I would mourn my cats death. A death is a death whether it be human or animal

Empathy. Get you some.

#27 I seriously hope you don't have a pet or never have one. You are a heartless bastard and no animal deserves that type of owner. What if people told you should not be mourned when you pass? Hurts doesn't it!

Leaving the whole 'cats are better than X'-argument aside, he spent 14 years of his life with that cat. I don't have any evidence to support this, but I'm guessing by OP's use of Skype to argue with his girlfriend he's probably in his twenties or thirties. That's a large chunk of his life that he's had this pet, and pretty much everybody would be devastated to lose it after all that time.

there feeling for the guy don't be a dick

27 - have you been checked for sociopathy? Lack of emotions/cruelty towards animals is usually the first sign.

How can you even say that? We're you not raised to have this little thing called EMPATHY. Look it up

So it has been proven that #27 never had any pets.

On an unrelated note, a study in Britain has shown that the cat owners they have studied have a higher IQ. Not trying to imply anything.

I'm guessing you've never lost a close pet, have you? My dog that I loved died when I was four years old. They're more than just an animal to their owner, they're part of the family, don't be so heartless.

Your cat was 14 years old it was his time and I am sure they will remember all the good times.

I am so sorry OP that really sucks. He's in kitty-heaven now, though, and rest assured he's looking down on you and knows how much you loved him. Poor OP and poor kitty. Saddest FML ever. RIP

Cats blow up everything on the Internet. Let's worship the Egyptian cat lords! ..Seriously though, he must've been a grumpy frumpy cat in those last heartfelt moments. R.I.P :/
