Today, I got my cats a new scratching post. They completely ignored it and tore apart the new felt on my pool table. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my cat decided that instead of using the brand-new scratching post I bought him, he was going to use my pant leg while I was asleep. FML
Today, my parents got a cat tree for my cats. I tried to tell them it was way too small, but they ignored my protests. Lo and behold, it's way too small. My cats have already fallen down trying to get on it at least three times each. even though one of them is abnormally small. FML
Today, I tried to train my cat to scratch the scratching post by giving her a treat every time she used it, but she took that as getting a treat every time she scratched something. Now, not only does she scratch all my furniture, but she also meows for a treat while doing it. FML
Today, I’m kicking myself for buying and setting up an elaborate cat tree I thought my cats would love. The second I was done, they walked over to it, sniffed around, and went to sleep in the box it came in instead, and won’t go near the darn thing. It might as well be a $200 cardboard box. FML
Today, I bought a new beanbag chair. My cat thought it was a great scratcher and I now have thousands of tiny plastic balls around the house. He decided those looked yummy, and now the scent of vomit and plastic is awful. FML
Today, I bought my cats two new litter boxes in hopes that they would use them. They still prefer to pee on the clothes in my closet. FML
Today, my cat decided to use my keyboard as a scratching post, and now my computer won't work. FML
Today, our cats got in a serious fight about the rights to some prime mousing territory. The territory in question? Our kitchen. FML
Today, after getting home from my morning run, I found my brand new leather couch with scratches all over it and smelling of cat piss. I don't have a cat. FML
Today, my cats found a new game to play. They each sit on either side of the cat flap, and take turns hitting it. Clack, clack. Clack, clack. At 3 am. Clack, clack. Clack, clack. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Those are some obnoxious cats you have there. You should teach them a lesson by,pooping in their litterbox and hiding the nip. That'll teach em.

How about we cut off the tips of your fingers and see how you like it? Declawing is cruel and takes away a cats main defense, leaving them feeling vulnerable and angry. It's an awful procedure that should never be performed, painful as hell and messes them up psychologically. Cats come with claws and if someone can't handle that, they shouldn't have cats.

Whats yours is your cats too. Whats theirs is theirs.

Perhaps you should keep a cover over it from now on? Not that it'd make much difference now that it's ripped to shreds but for when you get it fixed (assuming you will) and invest in a water spray bottle. Cats really like to claim the whole house as theirs... I just recently adopted a kitten and he is manic when he gets in his moods. He tries to feed off my dogs nipples and has already taken over her bed and food bowl.

Lol @ your kitty! Once you get him/her fixed and shots he'll calm down a bit. I don't use the water spray bottle tho because my cats just think I'm playing. They're weirdo cats and love water. :) I suggest just yelling get and snapping your fingers. It works! Have fun with your new kitty! :)

It takes more than just buying a scratching post for cats to use them. You need to train your cats from the beginning. My cats get off furniture and stop their non sense when I yell 'get' and snap my fingers. They can definitely be trusted around furniture. Unless your cat is actually a kitten and not trained yet, then I'd have to say ydi for failing to train your cat properly, so the animal knows its place. It does suck though that it ruined your pool table, but should of known not to jump up on it. Pets will only do what you let them get away with. If you get your table fixed, I suggest you get a cover to put over it when you're not using it.

My dad brought my cats this really big Scratching post, they would take naps on it but continue to scratch the furniture. Don't get my started on the chewing of phone chargers. Smh.

Yep. Sounds about right. Mine once played with the container her expensive toy came in for hours while completely ignoring the toy.

Get a dog instead. But don't get a small one. Any dog under 50 pounds is a cat and cats are pointless.

Because dogs definitely won't destroy anything....
