Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, our cat died. My husband and I had a touching bonding moment together. Our relationship has been strained for months, and I thought this could bring us closer. He decided to bring up politics. FML

Today, I got home from work to find my boyfriend sobbing hysterically over the death of his cat. The only cat he could be talking about is the one on his Sims account. FML

Today, I was crying because my cat died. My boyfriend cupped my face in his hands, looked me straight into the eyes and said, "I love seeing you cry." FML

How could you?
Today, despite me not liking cats, which my wife knew, she got a cat anyway. Her cat went for a walk outside and was hit by a car. I rushed outside to help the cat but found she was already dead, and the culprit had driven away. When my wife found out that her cat was dead, she thought I'd killed her. FML

Hello?
Today, I lost my cat. It's deaf, so no matter what I do it can't hear me. 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 roommate's noisiest cat passed away. My previously-silent cat has decided that someone has to fill the void, and has been running around the apartment howling ever since. FML

Today, I've been trying to adopt a cat with little success since my last one died. My other cat, who had grown attached to him when she realized he was dying, has been lazier and more prone to seeking attention than before since he passed away. I now know cats can suffer from depression. I feel bad now. FML

Poor old Raymond…
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

Can you imagine "hey Fluffy what are we having for dinner?" I don't think going along with it is the best idea...

OP's poor husband... she should be there for him instead of posting about him on FML

now you see, if everyone was busy taking care of their FML, this site wouldn't exist. Op was just taking like 2 minutes to let us know what's happening, hence this post.

This topic with that profile is quite interesting.

thats cool. cope with sadness how you do it, but dont call someone by your dead cats name, thats just creepy. buy him a stuffed animal cat and he can name it the cats name.

Better yet, get him a new kitten. Nothing helps a person cope with the loss of a pet like a new baby pet.

Weirdest Coping technique... I'd feel a little degraded if someone called me by their deceased animals name to feel better.

#63- Sometimes it makes it worse. When my cat passed a few years ago I still had 2, but wasn't ready for a "new" one till this past October, when a tiny kitten (10 weeks at the most) wandered onto my deck and meowed at the door till i let her in. What's weird is that she now acts exactly how my deceased cat used to (chases Nerf gun pellets, runs to drink out of the toilet when it is flushed, etc). So yeah, getting a new kitten might help some people but definitely not others, and I don't agree with just going out and getting him a kitten without discussing it with him first because it could make the situation worse.

#63: You should never give a grieving person a new pet until you talk to them first. Many people need time to grieve before moving on.
SaucyGirl106 18
#63 yeah, if you were a two year old and have no concept of the permanent nature of death. Some people see pets as family and need to grieve their loss. Unless you want someone telling you to replace your grandmother and stop crying about it, I think you should let this one go.

He's a little ****** in the head.

No, he's grieving, and as far as we can tell, still sane.

He might need counseling. Maybe for more than the grief, if he's Catatonic.
