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.
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 have to call fake on this one. If it's real, then FYL, but it just seems like you would have heard something... At least a difference in meow

Cats don't make odd mews a lot when there sick or hurt.They may seem fine,then,a few hours later when everyone is at work or school,the cat may die.You may think everything is fine,but you will never know unless your a vet.Or really smart.Or know a lot about about cats.

Neoswords, having a cat and caring makes that someone can tell the difference between a random "give me attention" mew and an anguished "I need help" one. If you can't tell them apart at all, and it's your cat, then it means you don't care enough, or by now you'd know the difference.

No one deserves that. Seriously. We've all done this to our pets at one point, whether we're busy or just in an irritable mood. The OP will have to live with the hurt, guilt and regret for years and years to come, and she has my absolute and utmost sympathy. Virtual hugs coming your way, OP.

One question..... How was the OP supposed to know that the cat was in any sort of pain just by hearing it meow. That could easily mean a whole set of things: The cat could be in heat(unless it's spayed), want to play, etc. Most of the time cats want to be pet and it's very annoying. Is the OP a horrible or neglectful person because she wasn't in the mood to play? No. It means she's human. There are times that we don't wanna be bothered.

An anguished "help my, I'm dying" mew sounds very different from "hey, give me tuna!" mews.

I'm not sure if all cats apply, but mine gives off a different meow when she's scared... or if something's wrong.

The others do to. The people claiming they can't tell are just too insensitive to care or check what's wrong with their cat in the first place. Like the OP...
