Today, I received an unexpected package from my mother. It contained my cat's ashes. Apparently he died 3 weeks ago and she thought this was the best way to tell me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother finally had her beloved Siamese cat cremated. The cat has been dead for over a week and she has been keeping it on her bed, stroking its fur and saying, "She looks like she's sleeping" and "She's so cold." To top it all off, she's been calling me by the cat's name for three years. FML
Today, I was sent a letter by the vet, saying my cat was late for her yearly checkup. My cat died last week and I'd had her cremated by the same people who had sent the letter. FML
Today, my mom asked me to pull out the load of laundry she'd stuck in the dryer. Instead of clothes, I pulled out my dead cat. FML
Today, I was expecting a package from a few days ago, but it still hadn't arrived. As I was going to work, I found it at my grandma's house. Why didn't my grandma tell me, you ask? She died last year. My package was mistakenly delivered to A DEAD PERSON. FML
Today, my mother's beloved cat died and we thought it would be nice to bury it in the back yard. I came home from work and while walking to the door saw that the cat had been dug up and partially eaten by the local raccoons and strays. FML
Today, was my birthday. Today was also the day that my mom's cat died four years ago. She was too busy crying and looking at old photos of her beloved cat to even wish me a happy birthday. FML
Today, I found my cat dead on the road. I called my family and told them, and later buried the cat. Not long after I got done burying it, my cat walked up to me. I buried someone else's cat. FML
Today, I received a card in the mail. It was from my vet's office. Written inside was "We send our sympathy during this trying time." I haven't been home in three days. I can't find my dog and my mother won't talk about it. My dog was 7. She hated that dog. FML
Today, I returned home from college for the first time in a month. I went to my bedroom and found a nice gift bag on my dresser. Thinking it was a Valentine's gift, I opened it. My dog's ashes were in a tin inside. This is how I found out my dog died since I was away. FML
Today, my mom called me an attention seeker and threw a bitch fit because my cat "decided" to die on her birthday. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So Walt, did you use ricin or Lilly of the valley on the cat? And I'd have thought that you would have disposed of the cat with hydrofluoric acid.

so not email not a call not a visit not Facebook not a text not even a letter just dead cat ashes themselves for you to cry over. I hope this doesn't happen when a family member dies.

Finally, the first good pun I have ever seen on this site

If that's the first good pun you've seen, you must be brand spankin' new around here.

I remember at the height of his reign pleonasm used to respond to nearly every FML with strains of puns that were beautiful. There are also plenty of other good puns but I always think of those comments.

Tell me about it Doc, I keep seeing fresh faces here acting all mushy and sensitive. That's just what's we need, a moral epicentre on this site!

I'm hoping the ashes were in an urn, it would be terrible if the ashes were just in the box. Sorry for your loss OP!

She should have sent the body instead?

At least the mom had the animal cremated. If my cat dies and someone sees it, they put the body out for me to find. Or if it's a small bird I have carefully reared that they left out of the cage for the cat to kill, they put it in my cupboard. Or if it's a rabbit, they put the corpse on my heater...

That sounds absolutely horrible. We buried my dog in the backyard.
