Today, I realised that I can tell my 6 cats apart by the sound of their paws on the carpet. I think I need friends. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I contemplated the ratio of cats I have to friends I have. I need more friends. FML
Today, I learned the hisses of my 3 cats so I can tell who starts the fights. FML
Today, I realized I have more dogs than I do friends. I have two dogs. FML
Today, I realised that I have a better relationship with my cat than I do with my boyfriend. FML
Today, I thought I had two cats, an albino and a tuxedo, but apparently I have four. I just discovered that an orange cat and a black cat have somehow gotten into my basement and made themselves at home. There's no way in hell I can afford four cats. Oh, and the cats I actually own hate them. FML
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 came home and saw my cat all snuggled up with another cat on the sofa. I thought it was the cutest thing ever, until I remembered that I only have one cat. FML
Today, I realized my cat responds to and interacts with me when I talk to her more than my own parents do when I talk to them. Actually, that statement applies to pretty much everyone I know. FML
Today, I realized that since I started working full time, the only friend I have left is my cat. Lonely and bored out of my mind, I told him about my day. He decided to end the conversation by shitting on the floor. FML
Today, I don't know anyone in the city where I just moved. I felt really lonely so I picked up my cat to try and cuddle with her. She freaked out and ripped my face apart. She ran then away to go play with the cats outside. Even my cat has more friends than me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

who needs friends when you have cats.

But...they're your friends, right? There is never a limit to kitties. Plus, they don't judge you...quite as harshly. ;)

You have a clowder, and it's perfectly fine by my standards!

I just learned a new word! Cool!

6 is too many, plus cats don't really care about you, they only want attention when they need you for something, they're pretty independent. They can't replace a person.......or a dog.

#65, have you ever owned a cat?

lol Dogs don't really care about you, they just care that they get food and water. If someone else adopted your dog and gave it food, it wouldn't give a shit that you weren't around. Cats don't care about you either, but at least they don't fake it like dogs do :P

BS. My husband was deployed for a year and when he came home, our dogs went apeshit. They were so happy he was home. My husband drove a diesel truck and every time a vehicle that sounded like his drove past, the dogs would rush to the window expecting to see him. Then when they realized it wasn't him, they got all sad. And just laid down, got all quiet and lethargic. Dogs miss you when you are gone.

Dogs will always be mans best friend. You don't really get that companionship from any other pet, and not to mention the loyalty. Don't ever recall hearing about a cat who saved his owner.

In 1999 a cat named coffee saved his owner John Chislett from death by fire by biting his nose and batting at him until he woke up and got the hell out of the house. There was also a woman named Kimberley Kotar who was saved when her cat jumped between her and and an Eastern Cottonmouth snake before it struck. A man named Michael Edmonds had/has a cat named Tee Cee who is trained to alert his wife when Michael is about to have an epileptic fit. Now you have heard of three. Cats and dogs are equally as loving as long as the right animal is paired with the right owner. As with other humans, you are not guaranteed to be best friends with your cat or dog just because you own the house and food.

Wow cool stories about cats, I clearly prefer a dog and that's just my opinion. I've never had a positive experience with a cat.

Also, there's the blind cat, Homer, that saved his human from a would-be stabber by jumping on the dude and scratching the crap out of his face. There's even a book about that one.

There's a chance you could at least use someone to talk to who'll talk back.

OP, that's actually impressive! (Since usually cats don't make much noise at all.) ******* mastery.

I don't see how this is a problem. In fact, it could be really useful! Okay, not really, but at least you know which cat is trying to approach you/sneak up on you. I don't have enough cats to have this talent (at least, not yet anyway :))

I can tell my dogs apart from the way their paws sound on the wood floor. It just means you know your pets well.
