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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my cat played dead just so I would leave him alone. FML
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
Today, my cat head-butted me awake as usual. I reached to pet him, but it wasn't his face I touched. It was the still-twitching corpse of the disemboweled rat he held in his jaws. FML
Today, I lost my cat. It's deaf, so no matter what I do it can't hear me. FML
Today, my dog played dead just so I would leave him alone. FML
Today, despite me not liking cats, which my wife knew, she got a cat anyway. Her cat went for a walk outside and was hit by a car. I rushed outside to help the cat but found she was already dead, and the culprit had driven away. When my wife found out that her cat was dead, she thought I'd killed her. FML
Today, my mother yelled and yelled at me until I apologized to our cat for not petting him when he sat on my lap. FML
Today, my cat was incessantly meowing trying to get me to wake up and feed him. Because it was 6 a.m., and I'd hardly slept at all last night, my brain decided that the best solution to get him to shut up would be to hug him. The result was a normally docile and lazy cat giving me a nasty scratch next to my left eye. FML
Today, I was woken up by my cat, who normally doesn't bother me in the morning, meowing desperately and trying to get me to wake up. Fearing that something was very wrong, I jumped out of bed. He gestured for me to follow him, so I did. I followed him all the way to the kitchen, where he proceeded to puke. FML
Today, my cat died. But, before he could bite the dust, he left a goodbye present on my bed: a decapitated baby rabbit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

it's more like your cat's FML "Today i was dying and i was trying to say goodbye to my owner, she just ignored me. FML"

in my opinion u should always listen to ur pet even if it is to just complain because u never know if its sickness or needing love and all pets are different and some do let u know when they are in pain or sick so i dont blame u but the next pet u own listen to them and be aware of their behavior

every1 that says ydi are just assholes. how were you supposed to know something was wrong with your cat. i guess every single person that did ydi are cat experts right? i guess you all know the difference between "meow (i want attention)" and "meow (im dying)" right? i have a cat that is so inconsistent in wanting attention. sometimes he meows to be pet. other times he meows.... and then barfs (or hairball).

i don't see how the OP deserves it. my cat meows randomly all the time, and it's easy to ignore. LOL SHES ACTUALLY DOING IT NOW. so i don't see how the OP deserved her cat dying just because she ignored a couple meows.

Exactly I mean the OP has clearly demonstrated the proper way to take care of a cat should have more :D _______________________ www.myspace.com/rapid99

If I took my cat to the vet every time he howled, I would never be able to LEAVE. My cat howls CONSTANTLY. Doesn't matter what time of day it is, doesn't matter if he's been fed or has attention, he howls. If he's awake, he's howling. A lot of cats do this. That doesn't mean they're trying to say goodbye, it doesn't mean there's something wrong with them. Anyone who says otherwise has never actually owned a vocal cat. Yes, sometimes I worry that my cat howls because something is wrong with him.. but when he's sick (he's had to go to the vet once or twice) he doesn't howl. He hides. He acts completely different. Some cats don't give warnings though. My brothers cat acted completely normal until about 10 seconds before he died, when he stopped his normal wandering, let out an odd meow, and then fell over dead. The OP did not do anything to deserve this. Noisy cats are noisy, that does NOT mean something is wrong. I wish people on here would grow up and learn to use their brains before posting, or at least do some freaking research.

They do indeed. My cat was abandoned and now hates cars. Everytime we try to take him somewhere, he makes noises like he's being tortured. Poor thing.

I really wish I could've seen my cat and said goodbye before she died... Which was November 5th, 2005. My mom and I got to the vet just after she was put to sleep, since she had cancer. I went in the room to pet her and say goodbye, but it was so hard and absolutely terrible. She was my first actual pet & she was the BEST cat ever. I cry every time I think about her. I'd give anything to have her back, even for just a day.
