Today, my cat had the bright idea of giving birth in the dryer, on top of all my new white towels. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my grandma seemingly decided that it was a really nice day to put my cat in the dryer. FML

Today, I woke up to the news that my son had put the cat in the dryer the night before. He didn't turn it on, and the cat is just fine, but now I need a new dryer so my clothes won't smell like cat urine. FML

Today, I was looking in my laundry basket for a clean tank top to wear. As I felt around, I realized that most of my clothes were still wet after two days. After asking my mom what was wrong with the dryer, I found out that for two days my cat had been using my laundry basket as a litter box. FML

Today, I witnessed the miracle of life. More specifically, my cat giving birth on my bed at four in the morning. FML

Today, I came home to find that my pregnant cat had given birth to a stillborn kitten in practically every room of the house. She had then rubbed her butt around the house, leaving bloody stains everywhere. When I tried to clean the white carpet, the bleach turned it green. FML

Today, I was hurriedly doing laundry. I threw a second load in the dryer and slammed the door shut. All of a sudden, I heard scratching and whining coming from the dryer. My cat probably hates me now. FML

Today, my cat was in the bathroom with me. I was getting undressed to get into the shower. My cat looked at me after I'd undressed and then threw up all over the rug. FML
He got a lot of treats for that

Human! Come quick!
Today, I woke up at the ungodly hour of 4AM to my cat clawing at my door and yelling at me. Normally I'd just wait until he stopped, but he was persistent, so I got up and opened the door to see what he wanted. He then corralled me to the laundry room. My dryer was on fire. Good boy. FML

Today, I woke up in the middle of the night to my cat meowing, with her dilated vagina in my face, giving birth to her first litter of kittens. FML

Welcome home!
Today, my new subletter moved in. Within 6 hours, one of my cats took a dump on her pants. I freaked out, lit some candles to hide the smell, and threw her pants in the washer. When the cycle was done, I found her cell phone at the bottom of the washing machine. FML

Actually it sounds like the cat DID have a pretty good idea and found a soft, warm place to do it. Linens can be cleaned. At least it wasn't your couch or carpet. Congrats on the new kittens!

At least they're white so you can bleach the hell out of them!

Remember folks, spay or neuter your pets.

You're more worried about your towels, than your cat?! Someone call animal protection!

Cats like to give birth in comfortable enclosed areas.. You should have known that if your cat was pregnant! Ydi for leaving the dryer open lol

It sounds like you didn't know your cat was pregnant? And why leave the dryer open with towels still in it? Cats tend to find the safest/warmest place they can to give birth. I guess you don't love your pet

I feel like you slightly deserve it. As someone with cats. If you leave your dryer open that's your own fault. There's no way there won't be a cat in there doing something.

Why was your dryer door left open and unattended with a pet? What if it got shut before you noticed the cat in there. Or the kitten. That's an extreme hazard. YDI!!

YDI big time. 1. Why is your cat not fixed? 2. The only excuses to no 1 would be that you're either a professional breeder or a foster home but since you don't seem to have a single clue about pregnant cats I don't think this applies.

Wash the towels, spay your cat. Very soluble problems.

Guys, this could have been a breeder. They're not horrible people, they keep breeds alive rather than the mutts that wander the streets that go to shelters. Breeds have particular traits some people want. This could be the case. Or OP could have adopted the cat already pregnant or any number of things other than simply not spaying the cat.

Lots of breeders are in it for the money, not to better the breed, and see no problem with breeding a bitch as soon as she goes on heat and every time after that. I've fostered multiple dogs that have been used for breeding for 8-12 years, and their poor bodies are wrecked. Many of these breeders don't care if parents are related, and have not carried out health or genetic tests. There are not many ethical breeders out there in comparison to the backyard breeders and puppy millers. Also, a lot of pure breds end up in shelters, not just mutts- the dog in my profile pic is from a pound, and he's a pure bred cocker spaniel.

Did I deny they exist? No. I said you don't know the story. Also: As you should be aware, owning a shelter pet, shelters spay and neuter all animals that come into their shelter if they are not already spayed or neutered. Fixed = No babies. If ALL we did was adopt shelter animals, pet animals would go extinct and all we'd be left with are ferals.
