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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, my cat played dead just so I would leave him alone. FML
Sorry Mr Whiskers
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
Hello?
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
How could you?
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
Cujo, but for cats
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
Signs of distress
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

If anyone wants to know why people like cats, watch "Meet the Parents". Robert de Niro goes on a diatribe about why cats make better pets than dogs.

OK. First off: Cats cannot have heart attacks (not in the sense that people do). Secondly, depending on the age of the cat, I could give you (w/ 95% accuracy) the cause of death here. In older cats, a very common cause of sudden death is a blood clot, called a saddle-thrombus. It can be very painful, but the cat often seems to lose control of it's rear legs, so the OP probably would have noticed that at least. However, for neutered male cats of all ages (and the OP did refer to the cat as 'him') a very common cause of sudden death is urinary blockage. This is extremely painful (imagine not being able to pee). The OP should have noticed the cat struggling to pass urine, crying out when he urinated, etc. If the cat did not use a litterbox and urinated outside, it may have been impossible for the OP to notice any problems. Sorry for the loss of your kitty. Ignore the ignorant people.
