Today, I found my cat dead on the road. I called my family and told them, and later buried the cat. Not long after I got done burying it, my cat walked up to me. I buried someone else's cat. FML

Today, my dog died. My parents told me to bury it out back. In the process, I managed to dig up my cat. FML

Today, I drunkenly buried my girlfriend's recently deceased cat. Later she asked to see it and came back inside crying. It turns out I didn't bury it completely and its two back legs were poking out of the dirt. FML

Today, my mother's beloved cat died and we thought it would be nice to bury it in the back yard. I came home from work and while walking to the door saw that the cat had been dug up and partially eaten by the local raccoons and strays. FML

Today, despite me not liking cats, which my wife knew, she got a cat anyway. Her cat went for a walk outside and was hit by a car. I rushed outside to help the cat but found she was already dead, and the culprit had driven away. When my wife found out that her cat was dead, she thought I'd killed her. FML

Today, my dog died. I spent ages digging him a grave and buried him in the garden so that my dad wouldn't have to deal with the stress when he got home from work. When my dad got home he told me that he had wanted the dog to be cremated. I have just had to dig up my dog's body. FML

Today, I had to put my 17 year-old cat down. I cried the whole way up to the vet's office and back. After finally coming to terms with the situation, and trying to forget, my dad's friend walks up to me and says, "So, I heard you killed your cat?" FML

Today, I was sent a letter by the vet, saying my cat was late for her yearly checkup. My cat died last week and I'd had her cremated by the same people who had sent the letter. FML

Today, I arrived home to find my cat dead and note saying, "Sorry, I tripped over him." Not only is my cat dead, but I was robbed by a polite thief. FML

At least you still have your own cat, and didn't leave that one rotting in the sun.

This is really awesome. Your cat is still alive and purring, and that is the most important thing. I can't even imagine the joy you must have felt when you saw it. You even gave a fallen feline an excellent burial, with full fanfare. You may want to let your neighbors know that you had to bury a cat, in case it was theirs, but at least you were able to give it a proper a burial regardless of its origins. I understand that the experience was very stressful for you though, and I think you should really bring your cat inside before something bad can happen.

I'd give anything to be in your situation. My cat died a few days ago. It's one of the saddest things ever :(

Cheer up, OP. At least you gave a dead cat a proper burial. For all you know, that cat would have stayed there, decaying. You did a good thing, even if you were unaware it wasn't your cat. Also, at least your cat is alive. Keep your head up!

To any dumb asses asking how she didn't know it wasn't her cat trying thinking. 1. Sometimes cats call look very similar without being blood related. I know because my roommate and I have two black cats and only way to tell them apart is to look at their eyes. 2. If the cat was hit by a car then there's a chance of the body being disfigured.

HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW THAT ISN'T YOUR CAT!!!!!!!!! I HAVE A BLACK CAT AND THERE ARE ABOUT 5 OTHERS ROAMING AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD. and I know which one is mine…

BECAUSE IT WAS DEAD!!!! For all we know, the cat was mangled or disfigured. Pretty sure if you saw a dead, mangled black cat in the road and yours was nowhere to be found, you'd assume it was yours. Now, please calm your ****.
