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

I don't mean that you deserve getting scratched, but please try to help your cat lose weight. He'll be a lot healthier and happier -- and you can look forward to many more years of being mistaken for a plant :]

I posted earlier on this fml, but people are still posting about the cat being overweight. Has it ever occurred to anyone that the cat might not actually be overweight? 17lbs is heavy yes, but not for a cat who was built to be big. Google Maine Coon. Male cats of this breed NORMALLY weigh between 15 and 25 lbs. Now I'm not saying that the cat of this fml is one of those cats, but I have a cat that is 17lbs easily, and he is pure muscle. Don't assume a cat is fat until you take a look at the animal.

And for the record, what I mean by pure muscle is that unlike heavy cats who are mostly fat, this cat doesn't really have "fat". The weight is muscle, so don't say "I call bs cuz that's impossible." He's slim, and strong.

My car weighs 17 lbs too. :P

Ya that's happened to me.. But don't let your cat get so fat!!!

I can just picture his claws running down your bare leg, leaving big red gashes as he's sliding down

Unless you have a mammoth Maine coon, you definitely deserve it for having such an overweight cat.

I have a scar on my leg and foot from my 16lb cat doing that. She was asleep, rolled off the couch, and tried to catch herself on my leg. The. Used my leg to climb back onto the couch.
