Today, I was making tea when I smelled something burning. My very fluffy cat had put his tail right next to the open flame and burnt his fur. Now I have a semi-hairless cat and a very smelly apartment. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dumbass cat sat on a lit candle. The whole house now smells like burnt hair and I now have to clip clumps of wax-burnt hair off his bum. FML
Today, my cat did the same thing as in the video where a cat lights its tail on fire with a candle and just watches it nonchalantly until it stops burning… Except, instead of watching nonchalantly, he bolted all over the house while screaming his head off. Trying to extinguish him was a nightmare. FML
Today, my cat regurgitated his food right on top of a heating vent located on my floor. Now the whole house smells like hot vomit. FML
Today, my cat is extremely sick and has trouble grooming himself. As evidenced by his butt. He laid on me for a while and it wasn't until a few minutes after he got off that I realized he had stained my pants. That also explains why my chair suddenly looks so nasty, and why my room smells horrible. FML
Today, my cat knocked over a cup of scalding hot tea - but don't worry, the carpet wasn't damaged. It went all over my leg instead leaving a nice big scar for my holiday. FML
Today, my cat took a shit in my toaster. FML
Today, I finally got myself settled into bed around 2 in the morning after a very long day. My cat started to snuggle with me when I smelled something disgusting. Turns out my cat sharted in my bed. FML
Today, my cat fell into the toilet, and I had to save him. I now have a soggy cat and scratched arms. FML
Today, I tried to give my cat a bath after he got into the attic and got covered in all sorts of shit. Halfway through, he freaked out, jumped out of the tub, and ran around the house dripping wet. He then hid under my bed, and I had to practically dismantle it to get him out. Now my bedroom smells like wet fur and broken trust. FML
Today, I ran into the living room when I heard the smoke alarm going off. Turns out, my friend thought it was a good idea to melt a plastic cup on my floor heater. He also thought the best way to put it out was to urinate on it. My house smells like burnt pee. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

My friend's cat lit himself on fire with a candle on Valentine's Day, while my friend was having sex with his girlfriend. He didn't realize the cat was still in the room (he was hiding), when suddenly, something was burning.

Hopefully it was all fur that got burned and the kitty couldn't feel anything! Glad you caught this in time.

How trivial is your problem? 1, cat ok. 2, you ok. Please explain the problem again?

YDI for letting a cat on your kitchen counter. Friggin disgusting.

You realize that they go on the counters when your not there. Don't kid yourself.

My cat never goes on the counter, although we never trained her to be like that. I think she's just too lazy to jump that high.

Same here. I'd be really surprised if I ever saw her jump up there!

This reminds me of one of my fave FMLs that DISAPPEARED because FML seems to think they can just delete old ones. Like, us this a game to you? Oh, yea, but the FML was that a "cat got burned. It's crying. It stinks." Idk why but the delivery of it was classic. FML, why you no keep all your old entries? Le sigh

while I feel sorry for your cat, it's your own fault for allowing your cat on the counter, and near the stove. animals don't belong in the kitchen. that's just gross. my animals (including my cat) know better than to step foot in there. it could have been worse. Hopefully you'll learn from this experience before the cat really gets hurt.

Why would you have a cat when you apparently think they're gross? Or what do you do to it that makes it gross? I don't want my cat/dog on the counter, just like how I wouldn't want my boyfriends feet to be there. But I can't see why they couldn't be in the kitchen. But then again, I don't find my pets to be gross, that's just ridiculous.

They will humor you when you're around but once you're gone they will be on the counter.

read the post again. I never said the animal itself was gross. I said letting it in your kitchen was gross. do you know what's on a cats feet from a litter box? to allow that animal to stay on your counter at all is nasty. and no, I'm certain my animals don't go in the kitchen. I'd notice the hair everywhere, as my kitchen is white, and my animals are not.

"animals don't belong in the kitchen. that's just gross" If you want people to read "I don't want my cat on the counter because that's gross" then just WRITE that. You wrote that it's gross to let an animal in the kitchen. In that case it pretty much looks like you think the animal is so gross that it can't even be in a room where food is prepared. It's not like people here know what colour your kitchen is, if you think that. So before you command people to re-read your comments, be sure to know yourself what you've written.

Cats are stupid!

I'm sorry to say this, but you should really keep an eye on your big fluffy cat if there are open flames anywhere nearby. I hope your cat is okay and that you both learn from this, but it really is your own fault. Be careful. The cat is your responsibility, and it is in her nature to be curious and freewheeling.
