Today, while my 18 pound cat was on the edge of the tub watching me shower, he fell in. Apparently, in his mind, the best way to get away from the water is to climb my bare legs. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my cat fell into the bathtub while walking along the rim. This wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't in it at the time, and if my skin was immune to being sliced open by a frantic kitty. FML
Today, my cat learned the hard way what the bathtub is for. While I was in it. FML
Today, I was taking a relaxing bath. My cat decided to sit on the ledge, which is normal for her, but today she fell in. I never knew how painful it was to be scratched down there until today. FML
Today, I was taking a bath after a long day at work. I closed my eyes and listened to music. My cat thought this was the perfect time to come out of his hiding spot and jump in the bath. Once he realized it was filled with water, he freaked out and dug his claws into my face. FML
Today, my cat followed me into the bathroom. While I was showering, he knocked over the storage shelf behind the toilet. The shelf was the perfect length to wedge the shower door completely closed. No one was home so I had to climb over my tall shower door all slippery and naked. FML
Today, I was enjoying a nice bath, when one of my cats jumped up on the rim and started purring. I thought it was sweet, until my other cat ran in and body-slammed the first into the tub with me. Being a conscientious cat owner, I hadn't de-clawed them. FML
Today, my 17 pound cat fell from a counter. It wouldn't have been a big deal if he didn't try to use my leg as a tree to cling onto on the way down. FML
Today, my cat fell into the toilet, jumped out, and ran straight to hide in my bed. FML
Today, I tried to give my cat a bath after he got into the attic and got covered in all sorts of shit. Halfway through, he freaked out, jumped out of the tub, and ran around the house dripping wet. He then hid under my bed, and I had to practically dismantle it to get him out. Now my bedroom smells like wet fur and broken trust. FML
Today, my cat fell into the toilet, and I had to save him. I now have a soggy cat and scratched arms. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your cat was watching you shower? What a creep. Tell him he has to pay for his voyeuristic tendencies or get out.

A word of advice for all you folks who like to have your cats in the bathroom with you: Cats hate water. Naked people hate being clawed. Bathrooms have both water and naked people. When you add cat to the mix, you're asking for trouble. The solution? Don't let your cat in the bathroom. Especially. when. you. are. naked.

Not all cats hate water. That's a stereotype. Just a lot do. :)

My puppy followes me everywhere. She tried to get in the shower or tub with me if the bathroom door is open.

my cat loves to lie on the bathroom floor/under the shelves. I don't allways see him there, so I do understand what the cat was doing in the bathroom. But why didn't you get out of the shower and let him out?

YDI for letting your cat get so fat.

Just what I was going to say. Even big cats like Maine Coons shouldn't way that much, so you have no excuse.

Male Maine coons can get up to 25 lbs. That is a healthy weight for Maine coons. My vet has one who is the clinic pet and he weighs 20 lbs which is healthy.

"Leo's veterinarian stresses the point that his frame is big enough to carry this much weight and that 35 pounds is a good, healthy weight for Leo, emphasizing that he is not overweight. Leo’s length – and not weight – is what makes him a record breaker." http://www.verismocat.com/htmscripts/leo-guinness.htm "Maine Coons are one of the largest domestic cat breeds. Males commonly weigh 13 to 18 lbs" http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?aid=2025 Google before you post

Maine Coons aren't the only large breed of domestic cat. The Norwegian Forest Cat is much larger, if I'm not mistaken, and let's not forget the Savannah (though that's cheating lol).

Yea he was just trying to make a point though. There are tons of large breeds of cats, and that person was saying that large breeds should not weigh that much apparently?

18 pounds? Poor cat. YDI for not taking proper care of your kitty.

Why would you let your cat sit on the edge of the tub while you shower? That's just asking for trouble. YDI
