The big time

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States - Des Moines

Today, I found out that my parents spent all of the money in my college fund to pay for my cat to be flown to LA and audition for a movie. FML

Your parents are really stupid. Sacrificing your education for a cat is just horrible parenting.

If the cat does get the part, then OP's parents can pay him/her back

Did it audition for the upcoming Grumpy Cat movie?

Third option: The tickets might not cost so much, but the "audition" might. A word of advice to any Hollywood hopefuls: if you need to pay a large fee for your own audition, it's usually a SCAM.

I don't know what's worse, your parents wasting your college fund or your college fund being so small that it finished with a flight for your cat. FYL indeed OP

Maybe the cat was flying first class and staying at a five star pet hotel.

Is the cat's name Garfield by any chance?

I doubt it. Garfield doesn't need to audition.

Exactly! The parents thought it would be an investment.

Omg ur parents have their investments all wrong. If the cat gets famous then your parents owe u some of the profits.

It's probably the family cat and everyone just refers to it as theirs.

If it's all gone after paying for one trip, there wasn't that much to start with.

But it was more than having no money at all.

Not neccessarily. The cat would have to be up to date on its shots, have health certification exams and paperwork for the flight, airfare, and it didn't sound like they went, meaning a "nanny" would have to be hired for travel, boarding etc. It could have cost thousands.

Thousands is only one full time semester, if that, depending on what college you go to. It is something, but nowhere near a full ride.

Maybe not, but still, some is better than none. Would you rather start with 0 or with a few thousand?
