Today, my cat was hit by a car. I took it to the vet expecting the worst but they told me that she’d be fine. I was so happy I didn't even mind paying the $50 bill. The next morning my cat was dead. Having her put down humanely would have cost $45, I paid $5 extra to have her die in my kitchen. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to put my cat to sleep after she was in an accident. While I was crying hysterically, the vet asked me for $230. FML
Today, I took my cat to the vet. He said he felt a strange lump that could be serious. I got really upset and picked her up, crying. The vet then told me I had to put her down. Absolutely devastated by having to euthanize my cat, I passed out. He meant I had to put her back on the table. FML
Today, I saved a kitten from the streets, cleaned her up and asked the vet what I should do with her because she was the sweetest thing and my cat has a highly contagious illness. The vet had to put her down. FML
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
Today, my boyfriend and I spent almost $500 adopting a senior cat and buying everything we needed to take care of him. He died 6 hours later. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boss that the reason I was sobbing hysterically as she told me that I was getting a pay raise was because I was going to the vet to have my sick and dying cat put down. Good news at a bad time. FML
Today, I was sent a letter by the vet, saying my cat was late for her yearly checkup. My cat died last week and I'd had her cremated by the same people who had sent the letter. FML
Today, I paid $325 to have the vet tell me that my 19-year-old cat ISN'T dying, she just had anxiety shits because we were gone on vacation for so long. FML
Today, I had to take my cat to the vet. On the way there, he managed to get out of his cage, climb into the front seat, onto my chest, and howl in my face as I tried to drive down the highway. I ended up with stitches and still got charged for missing my cat's appointment. 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

okay ya'll are gonna hate, but you said 'today, my cat got hit by a car' and then proceeded to say 'the next morning......' i didn't know people could see the future, and if so, you should go ask for a refund before tomorrow morning

That's because of the formula of writing FMLs. You gotta start with "Today, (...)" and end with "FML", no matter what. I'm guessing you're new here, ay? :)

You have to start with "Today," in an FML, it apart of the rulea

Poor kitty. But seriously, it's $5. I think there's a lot of other things to be angry about rather than t fact that you overpaid $5. That poor animal was likely in excruciating pain right up until she passed away, I'd question the competence of the vet, and find a new one if you have any other pets. It's pretty obvious that your cat was far from "fine". RIP

Ok, hold up. That is illegal they can't lie about the animal's condition. And they DEFINITELY can't put an animal without the owner's consent!!! Call the cops and shut this inhuman clinic down!!!

The clinic didn't kill the cat, it died on its own. They probably just didn't do all the tests to find out what was wrong, which is bad but not illegal since they would've cost extra

Cats are not children they are animals that depend on humans to keep them safe. A human child can be taught not to play in traffic or lay in the warm street, a human child can be taught not to kill the neighbours pond fish or not shit in the neighbours garden. A cat however can not be reasoned with and needs a humans protection. That's why you are the owner If you let a cat outside without a leash or in a proper outdoor enclosure You are failing your cat on so many levels. You are failing your neighbours you are failing Mother Nature and adding to a growing problem! So humans if you don't offer protection for your cat. MAN-UP and pay the bill NEVER DECLINE those test the vet suggests should be run because It's suggested it FOR A REASON!!! and don't blame the veterinarian for your failure!!

I'm so sorry. The vet really messed up when they told you your kitty was "fine."
