Today, I told my mom I'm severely allergic to my cat and that the doctor told me it would be best to get rid of the cat. Somewhat jokingly, I told her it was either me or the cat. She chose the cat. She was serious too. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the doctor to find out why I've been feeling so sick the past several weeks. Turns out, I'm severely allergic to the cat of my girlfriend of two years. I told her "It's me or the cat." She chose the cat. FML
Today, I told my wife if she wanted to get a divorce, she just had to get a cat since I'm deathly allergic. She got two. FML
Today, my mom got a cat. I'm allergic to cats, so I politely asked my mom why she got it. Her response: "I want you to finally want to move out." I turned eighteen two weeks ago. FML
Today, I found out my cat is allergic to ME. No kidding. FML
Today, my boyfriend woke up wheezing terribly, aching, and sneezing. He's allergic to cats. I have 2 and they are my babies. He gave me an ultimatum, him or the cats. I haven't figured out how I'm going to tell him that I choose the cats. FML
Today, I bought a kitten. I've wanted a cat for years and decided to finally buy one now that I have my own apartment. It turns out I'm allergic to cats. FML
Today, my wife got drunk and adopted a kitten. She thought I’d be mad because of the money. Nope, I’m pretty sure I’m mad because I have the most severe type of cat allergy that could kill me. I can’t go in the house now until everything is sterilised, so I’m back at my dad's house. FML
Today, my mother refused to buy a cat because my sister is allergic to them. She bought a rabbit instead. I'm allergic to rabbits. FML
Today, to celebrate moving into a new apartment, my girlfriend decided she would get a kitten. She didn't know I'm allergic to cats. When I told her, she decided that she couldn't date someone who couldn't be around her cat; the one she doesn't have yet. FML
Today, my mom accused my cat of being a "manipulator", and said that we should get rid of him. FML

if you're a minor and still going to school, that's sad but if you're like 30, living at home and paying no rent... clearly the cat should win it all depends...

#3 that's ****** up. You can't make people choose over two things they love. Most of the time it will backfire at the person saying it.

I'd choose the cat.

i don't know why people are so shocked that the cat always wins. cats aren't something to just 'be rid of,' or something. all i will say is, i don't care who the heck you are, my cat will always win in those kinds of ultimatums, simply because my cat is my baby.

#12 - yes the cat is your baby, but don't you think this PERSON is their mother's baby? i have a cat myself that i absolutely adore, but would never, ever trade himfor a member of my family..i'd probably give him to a friend who i knew could take care of him.

oh ps, the OP stated that she was joking when she gave her mum the ultimatum, so to those saying she shouldn't have given her mum the ultimatum..get a life

I'd say cat. Honestly, the OP was just asking for an answer when they gave the "ultimatum" jokingly or not. In all seriousness, get over it. http://www.whycindywhy.com/?id=yh7ga7debhx9bj5ltg38ngq68jsmj

well obviously since you gave that ultimatum you are probably old enough to move out. maybe she's trying to tell you something by preferring the cat over you. maybe you're not the best son/daughter and treat your mom like crap. therefore she prefers the cat because, the cat shows unconditional love. take my mom for instance, she's married and has a dog. she'd chose the dog over her husband any day because, the dog treats her way better than her husband does.

she shouldnt be married, seriusly if she loves a dog more then her husband and would chose it instead it seems like they are disfunctional so give them some divorce pappers aye?

No offense (actually, affirmative offense), your mom needs to woman up and divorce him. Obviously, she has a dysfunctional marriage if she adores the dog over her spouse. I don't understand why the person above me got thumbed down; she needs to get those divorce papers ASAP. And this isn't meant to pick on animals. It's just common sense that no matter how amazing your pet is, your spouse (or kids in OP's case) should still come first.

You know there are treatments for your allergy, don't you? And why did you came with such a heartless comment? don't you care for your family cat? If I understand well, you live under the same roof as him.. Honestly, YDI... And Yay to your mom, cause she taught you at once not to joke with a live, even an cat's.
