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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the vet sent me an email wishing my kitten a happy 2nd birthday. My cat died last year. 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 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
Today, I took my cat to the vet. He said he felt a strange lump that could be serious. I got really upset and picked her up, crying. The vet then told me I had to put her down. Absolutely devastated by having to euthanize my cat, I passed out. He meant I had to put her back on the table. FML
Today, my cat was hit by a car. I took it to the vet expecting the worst but they told me that she’d be fine. I was so happy I didn't even mind paying the $50 bill. The next morning my cat was dead. Having her put down humanely would have cost $45, I paid $5 extra to have her die in my kitchen. FML
Today, is the anniversary of my cat's death, so I went to visit her grave in the pet cemetery. Someone had spray-painted "Your cat sucks" on her grave. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boss that the reason I was sobbing hysterically as she told me that I was getting a pay raise was because I was going to the vet to have my sick and dying cat put down. Good news at a bad time. FML
Today, my boss's cat died. I'm expected to attend the service. FML
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, after I had planned a romantic weekend for my boyfriend and me, with an itinerary of dinner, events and outings, it got cut short when he had to have his cat put down, which he had for 12 years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Snail mail? Might have already been in the mail. At least you have a nice mantle piece, to help people feel awkward at your house.

Sorry for your loss. :( I'm sure it wasn't intentional. The letter was no doubt sent before your cats passing, but sad none the less

That sucks op but I know the feeling. My cat died at the vets last year and on the bill it had a reminder that he was due for his shots in a few months. Sorry for you loss :(

To me, losing a pet is just as bad as losing a family member. :( Sorry for your loss OP.

While losing a pet IS devastating, I think I would be a little more upset about losing say, my brother or mom?
linkinpark98 24
Yeah, it would. But from my experiences, my pet was always there for me more than others... Wow, that made me sound forever alone. ._.

Your vet didn't send you a letter -- your vet's mail merge program cranked out thousands of form letters and they haven't updated the database this week. If you think you've been getting personal correspondence from your vet all along, um, sorry to burst your bubble.

It's awful losing a beloved pet. Those that think it's not serious have clearly never owned one. They become family and are more loyal than any human could ever be.
