Today, I found out that I will be spending my spring break alone because my family is going to France. I can't go with them nor go with any of my friends because I have to take care of the cat. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was left at home alone while my friends went on a trip to Paris I paid for. FML
Today, my mom told me the night before our school trip that I’m not going so she could get a refund. Now I have to stay alone with my mom for a week, while my friends are having the time of their life in NYC. FML
Today, I found out that I get to spend the next two weeks at my grandparents' house, which smells like cat litter, while the rest of my family takes a cruise through the Caribbean. They can't afford to take a ninth person. FML
Today, I found out that ALL of my friends were in the same class and I was in a different one. They went away on camp, and I'm going to be alone for this whole week. FML
Today, I am passing New Year's Eve alone with my cat because everybody around me decided to celebrate in close committee, had a family emergency, or caught the C plague. FML
Today, my boyfriend is packing up his apartment and my parents have gone to a seminar, but I can’t complain about being lonely during the Easter holidays. I'm being kept company by a hundred industrious ants, a very loud cat, and an enthusiastic Aunt Flo. FML
Today, I live in dorms and found out everyone is leaving for Christmas break. I also found out my student loan didn't go through, so now I cant afford to go visit my family that lives over 7 hours away. I guess I'll be spending Christmas alone in a dorm room. FML
Today, I found out my mom booked me a flight to stay with relatives who I don't like, and who don't like me. I leave in two days, and don't return until the day before school starts. FML
Today, I had to cancel all of the plans to go away on a romantic weekend with my boyfriend. My parents are going out of town for a night and I have to stay home a babysit my little sister. She's 19. FML
Today, after weeks of looking forward to my birthday trip to the beach, I've come down with a serious case of the flu. My family is still going without me, but at least now they don't have to pay someone to watch the dog. Happy birthday to me. FML

Turn lemons into lemonade. Have a house party every day that the family is gone.

Wow! THAT is ridiculous! please tell me this is a joke? have someone care for the cats while you're gone, or leave enough food, or pay for them to stay somewhere. and your fam is MEAN for letting you stay behind!

have you not heard of leaving an adequate amount of food and water out and clean litter? it is a cat not a dog.

why would you kill the cat?? it didn't do shit, it's not like it is secretly planning to sabotage you from going to France. killing the cat is not a good form of revenge for your parents. that's cruel and undeserving. just watch the cat and throw a house party .

Hmm, is it just me, or do we live in a messed up society where not a soul thinks about how weird and cruel it is that a family member is left behind when the rest go on a trip to another country?! The cat is irrelevent and merely an excuse... killing/getting rid of the cat solves nothing.

Someone probably already said this, but cats are self sufficient. I don't know anyone that has to "take care of a cat" while their family goes on vacation. If your parents are in France, go somewhere with your friends and make sure you get back before your parents do. The cat will be fine.

Yeah, the cat should be fine, but personally I would give serious thought to giving ARL a call, simply because I think your parents deserve it.
