Animals: Today, I again had to quietly sneak in through my bedroom window....

Today, I again had to quietly sneak in through my bedroom window. I don't live with my parents. I go through my window because my cat thinks everyone who walks in through the door at night is a burglar or something and attacks them. FML

Rude awakening

By Anonymous - 11/06/2021 16:01

Today, I experienced the fright of a lifetime when I woke up and heard my bedroom door opening. Fearing that there was an intruder, I picked up a bat and opened the door, ready to whack the mystery intruder. There was no one there. No one, except my cat, who apparently knows how to open doors now. FML

Scaredy cat

By amazinghermit - 25/11/2014 04:21 - United Kingdom - Glasgow

Today, I spent an hour in my car terrified to go inside because I thought my house was being burgled. I saw rapid shadows in the light of my lounge. Eventually I plucked up the courage to creep inside with a rock to find it wasn't a robber. It was my cats, fighting in front of a toppled lamp. FML

Get back here!

Today, I left my apartment window open for some fresh air. When I returned, my idiot cat was on the balcony staring at me... from my neighbor’s apartment. FML

Grounded

Today, I snuck out of the house for a night on the town. When I got back, I found all the doors and windows bolted shut. My sister's laughing face at my bedroom window suggests I'll be spending the rest of the night outside. FML

Paranoid

By Anonymous - 10/03/2023 06:00

Today, after I was locked out of my apartment, I went down the leaf-filled ravine behind the building to get to the fire escape ladder, climbed up four stories and over the balcony, then wiggled through the window on my stomach onto the living room floor. Now I'm back inside and paranoid about robbers doing the same. FML

Today, I woke up to a stranger in my bed. Just as my parents responded to my screaming, I remembered that I'd helped my boyfriend sneak in through my window last night. FML

Cat people

By I’ll never see them again - 13/10/2022 08:00 - Canada - Toronto

Today, my cat tried to escape when I opened my front door. I noticed that whenever I start babbling and making random sounds, he stops dead and just stares at me in confusion, before walking back in. With my luck, however, this time my neighbor heard everything. They walked quickly away, as if they'd seen a ghost. FML

Caught

Today, I woke up to noises in my living room. I was scared, but I loaded my gun and snuck downstairs. I burst into the living room, yelled for the motherfucker robbing me to put his hands up, and flicked on the light. My cat stared back at me like I was a moron then calmly walked out. FML

Goddamn cat!

Today, I woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and I noticed the balcony door was open. As I went to go close it, I swear I saw my cat wondering outside and I panicked. Long story short, I locked myself out searching for the cat and the next thing I knew, he was meowing at me from the balcony a few feet above me. FML

Today, I was locked out of my house. With no other available option, I decided to try and ninja my way through a window. However, as it turns out, I would make a terrible ninja. I now have a sprained ankle and a broken window. FML

You should buy one of those attack dog suits the police use to train their dogs. You'd be invincible! Or a giant scratching post..

Your cat's just protecting you, and itself from cat burglars.

Maybe you need to put a pet gate at the front door to keep the cat away from the entrance. It sounds ridiculous but it beats being afraid to walk into your own house.

I don't know about you, but any cats I've known can jump over those gates no problem... and dogs just push them out of the way

You think a pet gate will keep a cat away from anything? Aaaaaaw. You're so cute.

Apparently I'm being naive, (and I've never owned a cat so I really wouldn't know), but I still think it's worth a shot because it sure as hell beats being attacked every time you open your front door.

Yeah, it would not work. The cat would be over that in two seconds.

Yeah, we have pet gates around the house to keep the dog away from things (like the litter box), and my cat's 16 and it still doesn't even slow him down. Put him in a bedroom with his litter box and food when you go out. We do this is if there's a reason the door has to be open for a while and the cat would escape (like deliveries or renovations).

At least you don't have to worry about cat burglars, am I right?

Crazy cat you got there. It can't even identify its owner. Sorry OP. I'd hate having to do that.

Cats don't have owners, silly! They have servants.

I think there's a show on TV, Carts from Hell our something, that deals with things like that. Maybe you could contact them for help?

Yeah, carts are horrible. They always complain that I'm not using a bucket, so they attack as soon as they see me. I don't like getting rammed and run over repeatedly.

My cart is driving me nuts. It has a dodgy wheel and always gets in my way when I'm trying to get through doors. I have to enter my house through the garage because my cart is such a menace.

I'm having trouble with my cart. Every time I try to get inside there's a demon inside. I know it's from Hell so I shouldn't be surprised but shouldn't the praying to 30 saints and the holy water I shoot through my hose get rid of it?

I hate my cart. Every time I try to take it to the grocery store, my food goes rotten. I put my nephew in the child seat and he is now a fully grown serial killer. I just don't know what to do about my hell cart.

So when a burglar does break in through the window, your cat will think it's completely normal. You could get another pet to stand guard, but then I guess you wouldn't be able to get in... Yea, you're screwed!
