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?

it happens. I'm taking care of 8 for a similar reason. my female kept getting loose only days before her vet appointments to get fixed an I couldn't handle the idea of the babies having to be killed to get her fixed

Dude that is a good thing! If you cant take care of them all, sell them to a shelter or people. Make money from the price of 1 new cat.

Shelters don't give people money for cats. They take unwanted pets in for free, and (at least in most cases, for most shelters) try to find them new homes. The majority then charge a fee to the adopters, to help cover the shelter's costs.

I once bought a guinea pig that ended up being pregnant, but she wasn't very pregnant when I got her. It's very easy to tell when a cat is pregnant and about to give birth.
