Today, my aunt gave my cat aspirin because when she touched his nose he had a 'fever'. I came home to a dead cat. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saved a kitten from the streets, cleaned her up and asked the vet what I should do with her because she was the sweetest thing and my cat has a highly contagious illness. The vet had to put her down. 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, I took my wife's cat to the vet for her yearly check up. I'm finishing the day at the hospital with multiple bite wounds and a deep gash in my leg. My wife chose to comfort her cat instead. FML
Today, my cat was looking a little peaky. After craning my neck to check for lumps under his chin, he felt this was the perfect time to throw up a half-digested mouse onto my face. FML
Today, my cat attempted to make up for my insomnia with a dead mouse. I have no idea where he got it. FML
Today, my ill-tempered cat tried to slap me in the face. She ended up sticking one of her claws as far up my nostril as it would go, and got stuck. Not only did I kinda get to experience what it feels like to be stabbed, I also got a horrible nosebleed. FML
Today, our family cat died. He had a disease (forget the name). My sister brought home a bunny, and I thought nothing of it until I tried to make the cat and the bunny friends. Sadly, it triggered his illness from stress, and he tragically passed away 4 days later. I still believe it's my fault; everyone says otherwise. FML
Today, while at the dinner table, my grandmother told me she backed over a cat. FML
Today, I went to visit my grandmother. My grandfather recently died, so I had gotten her a cat for comfort. Turns out in her sadness, she had forgotten about the cat. I found its remains being eaten by ants and birds. FML
Today, I ignored my cat's incessant meowing, and pushed him away every time he wanted to be petted. The next time I walked downstairs I found him dead. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have been caring for your cat, rather than blaming someone for at least trying to help.

so when you have a cat your supposta stay home 24/7 just in case something happens?that seems a bit unreasonable. and did it occur to the aunt that maybe the cat just got out of the sun?

What makes you think the cat needed special care? It sounds to me that the if the aunt doesn't realize that you're not supposed to give aspirin to cats, she probably also doesn't realize that cats have a higher average body temperature than humans.

I am always appalled when idiots with no animal health background decide to try to take pet health matters into their own hands. It's animal abuse/cruelty.

I agree. You shouldn't give an animal human medication either.

69, Some people, like myself, did not know that till now. I have had my vet tell me to give my dog low dose asprin, so I assumed it was okay for all animals. Luckily I hate cats and only have the dog and a fish, or I'd have a dead cat too.

It is a completely different thing when a veterinarian tells you to do something like give a low dose aspirin. The vet has training, experience and knowledge, OP's aunt did not. However, animal physiology is not the same as human physiology. Deciding to dose a pet with

You can give a cat baby aspirin, they didn't say what the dosage was, so maybe the aunt wasn't stupid. maybe the cat DID have a fever and died of something else? You're all a bunch of ignorant idiots for even commenting about the aspirin when you didn't even know.
