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?

I'm voting YDI. I can imagine than sometimes you just don't have the time to care for your cat, and that doesn't mean you're a horrible pet owner, but my cat never wants to be pet and runs away each time someone tries to touch him, so if I were you I would never ignore the cat that wants a caress.

There's no way she could have saved it even if she paid attention to it.. It wasn't starved or anything :/ She was just trying to get something done.. Saying she's horrible for not playing with it is so stupid.. I had a cat before and I never once played with it, I'd just feed it twice a day and it's been perfectly fine until I gave it away.. Cats don't die if you don't play with them, it was clearly something like an heart attack

I hope that you're joking. And if not, I hope you never get to own another pet. There's a lot more to it than feeding it twice a day and then giving it away when you're bored.

YDI for neglecting your cat

While it's sad that the OP's cat died, it doesn't make her a horrible person. She had no way of knowing that it was going to die. Like someone said earlier, it may whine all the time, and she was just busy. I don't believe that everyone who commented something along the lines of "I NEVER ignore MY pets" wouldn't drop everything they were doing just because an animal made a sound. OP: FYL. I'm probably going to get flamed, but oh well. =) [/rant]

My cat mews all the time.Most the time,is for food or going outside(which i hate it when she does"or when she's in heat/bored.

If you hate taking care of your cat that much, then you probably should let it go.

Uh, you haven't gotten your cat spayed?
Neoswords 0
She eats a lot.I feed up her food bowl,and My cat is sprayed.I love my cat. Edit:My cat still goes in heat for some time.I think.My parents said a few years back that when my cat was mewing a lot that she was in heat.

I'm not saying you don't love your cat. It's just, I'm pretty sure that spayed cats don't go into heat. Female cats get all of their parts removed.

Idk.also,when my cat Betty,the one that ran away one day after my cat cutey ran away.She ran away once before.When cutey was gone for a week,Betty loved me.She hated cutey.I would do anything to have Betty back.I miss her.

Just looked it up. I guess I'm wrong. My bad. I thought that because all of the females cats I've ever had didn't go into heat after we had them spayed.

Ok.I think,if im correct,it last for a day or 2.Also,at the man who says i dont love my cat,I love her more that myself.If cuteys gone,The last thing i have a good reason to live for is gone.And gone for good.

Aww =[ Well if it makes you feel any better, there are a lot more cats out there that need loving. You could always get another one. But I know where you're coming from, it's hard when a pet just disappears and you have no idea if they are alive or dead.

ok...Ill try and go to my humaine society if cutey runs away and get a stray cat .maybe one like cutey or betty.
gonzolove 0

Hey you never know. You've heard the stories about cats disappearing and finding their way home years later? A miracle could still happen. :) lol our neighbors had the cutest, fluffiest, and nicest cat ever. He always stayed at our house when they went on vacation. And he liked us cuz we gave him wet food and took better care of him...I miss him. :(
