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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my friend asked me if I could watch her mother's cats while they go on vacation. I agreed since her house is on my way to work. When I talked to her mother, I found out she has 30-something cats. She reckons she lost count. FML
Today, I thought I had two cats, an albino and a tuxedo, but apparently I have four. I just discovered that an orange cat and a black cat have somehow gotten into my basement and made themselves at home. There's no way in hell I can afford four cats. Oh, and the cats I actually own hate them. FML
Today, I took in an old friend’s fat cat for a month until she finds a place to live. Turns out the cat isn’t fat, just pregnant. I found out when I found two of her dead kittens in my living room. FML
Today, I came home from holiday, only to find my house full of small decomposing animals, courtesy of my cat. FML
Today, when I got back to my bedroom, I found my cat had left not one, not two, but four dead lizards for me. FML
Today, I came home and saw my cat all snuggled up with another cat on the sofa. I thought it was the cutest thing ever, until I remembered that I only have one cat. FML
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
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, I got to go back into my house after it had been tented. Suddenly, a foul stench filled my house. My husband checked all around the house and finally checked under the house. There were more than 12 dead stray cats under our house, and guess who was in charge of pulling them out? FML
Today, I found out that my cat has been secretly stealing my socks and hiding them under the couch, when I found a pile of 15 socks after I finally moved my furniture to vacuum the floor underneath. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

After seeing four, you immediately think the fifth is a stray? What?

Pat yourself on the back, you've done your kind deed for the day. 5+ is cat lady territory, now she's just borderline. Phew!

How don't you know how many cats your friend has when you're asked to take care of them for a while? Really. And maybe know how they look like?

TBH, the most logical conclusion I can come up with as to why the OP thought that specific cat was the stray is probably that she HAS been to her friend's house before and every time has only ever seen four cats (the ones she fed) because the one under the sofa maybe always likes to be under sofas or cupboards or whatever due to being shy or something. She never saw it so she thought her friend only ever had the four recognisable ones. That's the only logical explanation I can think of. If she knew this friend for a long time and her friend didn't tell her about the fifth cat (or took it in recently wthout telling) her actions are SLIGHTLY less condemnable. Slightly. I still would have checked first, and rather than kicking it out I probably would have brought it to the pound or whatever. Someone made a good point that if it WAS a stray, the other four cats being the territorial bitches they are would probably shown their aversion to the fifth cat when OP brought it out from under the sofa or whatever. OP is kind of stupid/careless, but at least I think I understand why she may have thought there were only four cats.

You really made the assumption that a cat that was INSIDE the house didn't live there?

What??...why?....how on earth did you come to the conclusion that it was a stray? Was the idea of having 5 cats instead of 4 too much for you to fathom? I can't even...

Agreed

Why on earth would you kick an animal out of someone's house? You're the animal here OP.

I don't know why my comment is posted twice.

Why would you think it's a stray?! How many people randomly have cats in their house... Especially if they have four! You should have fed it and if it was a stray she would probably add it to the mix anyways!

Who kicks a cat into the street even if it is a stray?? Jerk.
