Today, my sister came over for a visit. I was going to surprise her with the news that I had spontaneously gotten a cat. The first thing she told me when she came in was that she ran over my neighbor's cat. None of my neighbors have cats. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my cat, that I've had for 3 years, is actually my neighbor's missing cat. FML
Today, I woke up to a cat licking my face. I don't have a cat. I quickly put the cat out the front door and went back to sleep. When I woke up later, I remembered that I had agreed to take care of my sister's cat for a week. I looked out the door, but the cat is nowhere to be found. FML
Today, my neighbor let me know that they've been taking care of my cats while I was away, including letting them in and out of my house. I don't own a cat. FML
Today, my 20-year-old sister is taking care of my cat while I am out of state. She sent a photo of him "playing in a silly way" with her kitty. I then had to very seriously explain to her that in the photo, my cat and her cat were trying to make more cats. FML
Today, I was over at a friend's house feeding her cats while she was on vacation. After feeding the four of them, I found an extra cat under the sofa. Thinking it was an intruding stray, I kicked it out. She actually has 5 cats. FML
Today, I found out that my upstairs neighbor has a cat. I was blessed with this knowledge when she threw several piles of used kitty litter and cat poop over her balcony and onto my patio. FML
Today, my family came back from holiday to discover that my little sister had messed with the cat flap before we left. Several stray cats were able to come in, but were unable to get out, and left shit in various areas around the house. FML
Today, while I was driving around the neighborhood, I passed my neighbors' house only to see their dog with a full-grown dead cat in its mouth. Only one family owns a cat in our neighborhood. FML
Today, I stayed the night at a friend's house for the first time. I went to get water from the kitchen when I saw a cat staring at me. I looked back and it ran off. I told my friend about it. He doesn’t have a cat. FML
Today, my neighbor knocked on my door and asked if I'd seen her cat. I helped her search the hallway, basement, and garden for 30 minutes. We finally found it sitting inside my apartment, where I had apparently been living with it for three days without noticing. FML

I agree with #1. But your sister is a bitch for not watching where she drives.

most ppl keep their NEW KITTENS inside, or at least not at the road.. It sucks, but some really bad decisions on your part :(

It also depends on where the OP lives. I have always had outside cats (that come in) as we live in the country down a sedom used dirt road. My grandmother had cats thay stayed outside as well, although she lived in town. it was a small town thugh and down less traveled road where people slow their ass down. All those cats turne dout fine and lived long lives. If I ever lived in a bigger city, or even or a more traveld road, they would be inside cats, but I dont and maybe the OP does as as well. She is not a bad owner for letting the cat out. Now, if she threw the cat in front of an oncoming car, she would. and #18 the sister is not a bitch fot running over an animal. Not unless she did it on ourpose or laughed about it.

That is so sad :[ I'm sorry. I'm sure your sister feels really bad about it, no one wants to hit an animal, and even if people don't care about animals they generally don't want to **** up their cars. A couple of nights ago I was driving and turning into my neighborhood when I saw 4 eyes flash in the road. Two outdoor cats were sleeping in the street! I almost killed them, luckily I stopped in time but even then they didn't move, I had to get out of my car and pick them up and put them on the sidewalk. They are sweeties and I know the owner but sometimes cats lack common sense. If I had a cat it would never be an outdoor cat.

Inside only! You wouldn't let your two-year-old wander the neighborhood unsupervised, would you? Ugh.

yes. yes i would. it puts hair on their chest. those two year olds need to grow a pair and be a man. joke. dont freak out.

They aren't two year olds though. They're fully grown, curious cats. It's not a big deal if they go outside, and if they get hit it is the driver's fault unless the cat ran out at the very last minute.

First of all you shouldn't let your cat outside in the first place. They get hit by cars or people kill them for fun. Second, run her over.

As #19 said, if OP lives in the country, or at the very least on a seldom used road, it is perfectly okay to allow a cat to go outdoors. In my family's case, a few years back we had a horrid mole problem in our yard, and it was actually recommended to us to get a cat to hunt them instead of paying for poisons to be laid out. We rescued one from a shelter, and she's turned out to be one of the best cats we've had. In response to #15, not only is she spayed (as is the general rule when adopting from shelters), she refuses to "piss/shit" outside. She comes inside to use the litterbox, eat, sleep, play with the other cats, whatever. Cats are not the horrible creatures some posters here are making them out to be. Sure, you may get the occasional oddball, but that goes for any species, including our own.

Just because so many people let their cats outside doesn't make it right. I don't want your cat going in my yard or digging up my plants. Keep your cats indoors and they won't get run over. Besides, this was a dumb cat if it didn't know to get out of the way of cars.

Dogs dig more than cats tbh.

Outdoor kitties tend to get run over. It is a fact of life that you have to accept.

Yeah, we call it Cat Flattening. Its all based on a point system. Good game to play on the way home from the bar.

The cat didn't mess up the car did it? Now that would be a FML!
