Today, my dad killed my pet rats. They were playing on the sofa, and he thought they were vermin. This would have been understandable if the reason he came over wasn't to meet them, and they hadn't been wearing bright pink walking harnesses. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents, and now they have a dead rabbit because I sat on it. FML
Today, my cat came through my window, holding a dead rat in her mouth and dropped it in my pile of clothes. I then asked my dad if he could get the dead rat out of my room. After looking for an hour, he couldn't find it. Guess the rat wasn't dead after all. FML
Today, I found out my dad ate my pet rabbit two years ago. He said he ran away. FML
Today I opened the door for my cat and he brought in a rat with him. Now the rat is hiding in my house. FML
Today, while I was pet-sitting for my boyfriend's parents, one of their dogs killed one of their kittens. FML
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 at my boyfriend's house, meeting his family for the first time. We were all standing in the kitchen when suddenly a small white and brown mouse ran by. Out of natural instinct, I stomped on it. Turns out, it was his little sister's pet mouse that had gotten out of its cage earlier. FML
Today, I walked in on my dad introducing his stuffed gorilla to his cat. FML
Today, my pet rat had babies. We've only ever owned one rat. FML
Today, I came home to find a mouse in the garage. Frantic, I killed it. My 7-year-old son came home from soccer, and started crying because he couldn't find the class pet, Mr. Whiskers. I killed my son's class pet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your dad is a bit of an asshole, isn't he?

Those rats were obviously pets because of their harnesses. I have never seen a sewer rat or any other kind wearing a harness. Very rude of your dad.

Thats terrible. I can't believe someone would do that to an innocent animal! You're dad is a bad person. Horrible!:(

You are dad is a bad person? Really?

I'm having trouble picturing this. Walking harness on a rat implies you take them out for a walk? How big is the leash? Or more importantly, how big are these rats? Not capybara size, I hope.

I can picture the OP walking the rats down the street on leashes, but I can't get my mind around him using the tiny rat pooper scooper. Where do you get a rat pooper scooper?

Maybe ants carry the little turds off to their nests.

I had a leash for my guinea pigs back when I had them. Neither the animal or the leash are huge or anything. It's just something the pet store sells. I personally wouldnt take a rodent for a walk but I would use it to keep them from running away and under the couch when they're out of their cage.

He's probably extremely homophobic and the pink harnesses make him snap. This must stop! Gay rats are people, too!

Theres nothing wrong with cats. They don't eat their own shit and vomit like dogs. But maybe that's why you like them.

Just because you might not appreciate a certain animal does not mean their uses are not apparent. Cats tend to be great for apartment living, they don't need to be walked (you can but they usually hate it) and clean themselves. You can leave them alone without worrying about them being sad or depressed. They tend to be affectionate but not needy. Dogs are awesome but in apartments they bark and tend to make a bigger mess unless you have a small, well trained dog. So different strokes for different folks. Rats are smaller and can be affectionate, so they are also good for people without a lot of room to have bigger animals.

Actually, small dogs aren't as intelligent as medium and large breeds. Small dogs bark more, bite more, and are more difficult to potty train. ...Plus, dogs are so much better than cats, as they don't defecate into a box, step through the polluted litter, and then track it throughout the house. How disgusting.

Sorry for your loss, so as they sat up on their hind legs all cute and pink eyed, your thoughtless father smashed their skulls. I don't get it, he knew he was on his way over to meet your new pets and they were dressed for the occassion, but he thought they were filthy intruders. Since you do not provide your gender, I'll caution you in general to be careful when you invite him over to meet your new boy/girl friend!

My pet rat was pretty cool, till I found out he was really a man by the name of Peter Pettigrew.

I see what you did there.

I love you for making that reference.

I feel bad for making a sound out of amusement, but it's because I was surprised your dad is that oblivious/mean to have killed your pets. The harnesses sound awfully cute. Sorry OP, I offer my condolences :(

So just because their pet wasn't one of the social norm they deserve to have their pets killed? No, you are wrong on this one.

RyNo24, if that's their choice of a pet then YOU HAVE NO ******* RIGHT TO TELL THEM WHAT TO GET AND WHAT NOT TO GET from the wide choices of pet animals. Take your Pet Police crap out of here. ******* ****...
