Today, I found out that the tinsel on my Christmas tree is worth a couple of hundred euros per strand. Well, that's how much the two that were surgically removed from my cat have cost me. At least the cat's going to be fine. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I pulled my Christmas tree out of my mother-in-law's garage, only to find out rats had ruined all the lights. The tree cost $2600. FML
Today, we spent hours decorating the Christmas tree, perfectly balancing the lights, ornaments, and tinsel. Ten minutes later, the cat thought it was a right time to reenact Die Hard and climbed up the tree, knocking it over. Now my ornaments are shattered, and my cat is smugly sitting in the wreckage. FML
Today, I spent 15 minutes trying to get my cat out of our seven-foot Christmas tree. Once he was done, he tore about the house and broke the nativity scene, beheading baby Jesus and a wise man in the process. The tree is fucked. FML
Today, I took my cat to the vet for an x-ray. They found three dollar coins in his stomach. The surgery to remove them is $600. FML
Today, for the first time ever, my family bought a real Christmas tree instead of using our old fake one. Today, I also found out I'm allergic to Christmas trees. My family won't get rid of it because they paid so much for it and intend to "get their money's worth". FML
Today, to try to have a less depressing Christmas, I've put up a small tree in my apartment and wrapped some presents for myself. I woke from a nap to the sound of my cat vomiting. What did she throw up on? The presents. FML
Today, I went Christmas shopping for my cat. I still haven't bought presents for my family, yet my cat already has several small gifts under the tree and an outfit to wear around the house. I really need a new hobby. FML
Today, I was nervous about taking my cat to the vet for a UTI, because money’s a little tight. Turns out the antibiotics weren’t that expensive, but he wants at least $1,000 for dental surgery she apparently “needs.” FML
Today, my apartment was broken into. The thief stole my TV, $350, and my Christmas tree. There is still a trail of broken ornaments from my living room to the door. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Shiny things basically shout at cats to play with them.

I think it's safe to say your cat is purr-ty inconsiderate. The long term effects could've been catastrophic. Litterally.

*facepalm* Your poor cat. Don't keep crap like that in the house, some cats are stupid and will attempt to eat anything. I've got a couple of them.

You deserved it because it's common sense not to use tinsel when you have cats. You put your cat's life at risk; a couple hundred € is a small price to pay to learn how stupid you are.

Why the hell would somebody pay that much for tinsel?!

Really? Tell me you're just trolling and not a total idiot who can't be bothered to read the FML. Hell, even if you didn't read all the FML, and only the first part, how would OP buy that tinsel, then only later on find out it's so expensive? Idiot.

Hey stupid, I'm talking about the person he would sell it to.
Shrike 24
No you're not. What you're doing is trying to cover up the fact that you made a ******* stupid comment, and making yourself look like even more of an idiot in the process. And even if you weren't, WHY THE **** would OP sell the tinsel that's been extracted from his cat's intestines to someone else for hundreds of euros?! Something tells me literacy isn't your strong point.

... owning a pet is responsibility. When I had my cat, I avoided using tinsel and any tinsel strands as well angel hair in my Christmas tree because if a cat or dog eats those they stick to their stomach! That's something every pet owner should know ffs!
