Today, I walked into what I thought would be a surprise birthday party. It wasn't. It was my parents staging an intervention over my cat obsession. FML
Collection
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, I walked in on my parents discussing how to kill our cat, and how to make it look like an accident. FML
Today, I was supposed to be studying for an important exam. My parents decided to make me go to a surprise birthday party instead. We weren't allowed to leave until the party was over. The party was for the dog. FML
Fatal decision
Today, my mom called me an attention seeker and threw a bitch fit because my cat "decided" to die on her birthday. FML
Today, I walked in on my dad introducing his stuffed gorilla to his cat. FML
Today, I went to a birthday party. A half hour in, a girl started showing me pictures of her cat. That was the high point of the night. FML
Today, I thought I was home alone, so I started singing to my cat. After a half hour of this, I finally stopped. Then I heard applauding. I turned around to find my parents standing in my doorway. FML
Fake news!
Today, after I tried to plan a surprise party for my friend, and a series of miscommunications and accidental reveals, it turned it into a surprise party for myself. I walked into a room filled with people shouting, "Surprise!" FML
Today, my dad and stepmom came back from a very expensive two-month trip across the world. When they got home, they had more gifts for their cat than for me. FML
Today, my sister came over for a visit. I was going to surprise her with the news that I had spontaneously gotten a cat. The first thing she told me when she came in was that she ran over my neighbor's cat. None of my neighbors have cats. FML
Today, I once again walked in on my husband eating our cat's food. FML

"Surprise! We got rid of your cats!" You were the cat-alyst of your own downfall.

You know you have a problem when you spend your car payments worth of money on cat supplies in one trip at PetSmart.
Grauncho 27
I used to work at PetSmart. It was alarming how often this actually happened.

It is. Pets can be be very expensive, especially when you have more than one. Cat food, litter, flea drops, toys... It all adds up. I say I spend about $100 a month on my three cats.

I spend about ten dollars a month on my cat, and he's perfectly happy and healthy, but flea drops are free at my vet cat foods about 18 dollars for a two month supply, and toys are no more than a dollar or two.

I gotta spend about $50 a month just on flea drops for my cats, and two of them go outdoors and I live in a humid climate where fleas thrive, so flea drops aren't optional. Plus three cats go through food fairly quickly, so that's another $2o. I also have to have three litter boxes and so I go through about two 40 lb boxes a month at about $12 each. So that comes to approximately $80 a month. Then when you divide the yearly cost of vet visits for three cats over twelve months I'd estimate that all the expenses add up to about $100 a month. I sure wish my vet would give me free flea drops! It would save me $600 a year!

Yeah my cat lives outside mostly but I leave a window cracked for him to get in and out. So he does his business outside. And every 6 months the vet where I live gives away bottles of advantage. So I lie and tell him I have a Great Dane so he gives me a bigger bottle so it lasts till the next free bottle. But I've never had to take my cat to the vet in any of his three years. hopefully I won't have to anytime soon. I never wanted a cat, but got one for my daughter and now he's my cat. I was totally surprised at how independent they are.

If you let your cat outside, you really should get him his shots! They can get all kinds of deadly diseases from ferrel cats, including feline AIDS! After three years, I'd be surprised if your cat didn't have some sort of disease. I'm also surprised your cat hasn't gotten very sick from the large dog flea drops you give him. Not only is the formula different for dogs and cats, but the dosage for an animal that size would be too much for a cat.

If you make them think you have an unhealthy obsession with cats, you even say you have it, not that they just THINK you do, you probably deserve that one.

Don't be such a pussy. Oh wait, the whole problem started with that...
SomeRandomGuy15 18
The problem started with OP being a pussy?
perdix 31
What a catastrophe!!!! OP, if this comment prompted you to think about how you can buy trophies for your cats, you have a problem.

NO DON'T KILL MUFASA YOU SCARS!!! Simba will rise against you!
gracehi 33
Uh... What?
SomeRandomGuy15 18
Maybe I should watch Lion King again, I don't remember 2 Scars!
eyesmile27 7
It's a Lion King reference! Jeez did nobody have their golden Disney years? And to 40, No, there aren't two Scars but for the FML and OPs cat obsession, I just created a second Scar.

44- both your comments made no sense. First of all, your "golden years" are when you're old, not when you're young. Second of all...what?
Ultimate_No 7
Most of us have seen The Lion King. That's how we know your reference isn't very good, and not relevant at all.
gracehi 33
I knew you were referencing "The Lion King." What I don't know is why you think it's relevant to the FML, except perhaps that they both involve cats, and who exactly you are calling "Scars," and why you think they are metaphorically killing Mufasa, who or what Mufasa represents, who Simba represents, and how the metaphorical Simba will rise up against the metaphorical Scar.

Your over thinking it the guy just commented what ever "weird" random thought entered his head. It was a stupid comment though.
kman8599 8
You've never really seen lion king until you've seen it on 'nip! Both me and my cat were astonished by the number of scars in that movie... Characters and emotional scars that is.
SomeRandomGuy15 18
44- My apologies. It seems my Sarcasmese accent was too thin. Let me try again: Your comments both made a lot of sense! I can see that we have to leave all the pop-culture references to a talented comedian like you! :D

Is it bad I can understand that...? Then again, I am mentally insane...

Cats can be a problem, mmkay. Because when you have to many cats you have a problem, mmkay.
ironichalibut 24
Too*. Curse my inadequate grammar checking.

I don't blame you. Cats are awesome!
laden_swallow09 35
Not THAT awesome. Or even awesome, for that matter.

There is NO such thing as too many cats haha ! :p (Secretly I'm a crazy cat lady aswell)

I'm obsessed with cats, but I don't ever plan* on having 50 or 60 of them. *Notice how I said plan. I could quite possibly end up having 50 or 60 of them later on. But right now it is not planned.

You are what's wrong with the world.
