Cats and Animals: Adopt, don't shop

Adopt, don't shop

Today, I got a new cat. It was fine for a couple of hours until it gave birth in my kitchen. The seller claims to have no idea that it was pregnant. Now I have to take care of 7 cats instead of 2. 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, my cat went into labor. This is surprising since 6 years ago, we paid to have her spayed. FML

Today, I had to babysit both my neighbor's 3-year-old daughter and my very pregnant cat. I left the room briefly, only to come back to a traumatized 3-year-old crying in horror as my cat gave birth in front of her. FML

Today, I woke up in the middle of the night to my cat meowing, with her dilated vagina in my face, giving birth to her first litter of kittens. FML

Today, I found out two of my rats are pregnant. The breeder told us that all of them were male, only one ended up being male. I now have 20+ rat babies on the way and no idea how to take care of them. FML

Sneakin' in a kitty

Today, my wife brought home a kitten, telling me it had been abandoned. She must think I’m dumb, since our credit card statement shows that all last week she bought it from a breeder, then got it vaccinated and chipped at the vet's, and only now brought it home to feed me this pack of lies. FML

Today, my cat had the bright idea of giving birth in the dryer, on top of all my new white towels. 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 came home to find that my pregnant cat had given birth to a stillborn kitten in practically every room of the house. She had then rubbed her butt around the house, leaving bloody stains everywhere. When I tried to clean the white carpet, the bleach turned it green. FML

They adopted you

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

How did YOU not know it was pregnant? Or did you just think you were buying a firmly fat cat?

Wait until the kittens are old enough and find them decent homes. Then you'll only have 2 cats again.

Incidents like that are why I won't take animals from anyone but rescue shelters, the SPCA, or someone willing to provide the paperwork proving the animal has been spayed/neutered. I can't afford that many animals, because of the pet policy in my apartment complex. My small dog alone cost me 500$ extra in deposits; on top of the required initial pet deposit when you move in. (New, dickish/money hungry owners). I'd love a kitten otherwise. @@

YDI for more then one reason. First off, you should have done more research on cats. If you had you would have been able to tell if the cat was only a few hours away from giving birth. Also, you should have had a more clear contract (One in writing) with the seller so that if something like this where to happen you would be able to sell back the cat with out an issue.

Well you deserve it because you didn't check it out properly. You must have seen it was fatter than it should've been. Hopefully it has taught you a lesson to look at it before.

Well now you can sell them and make more money. That's a big profit because the buyer didn't know she was pregnant. But that must suck now that you have a responsibility. God forbid.
