Today I bought a new cage, along with some toys, for my bird. I came home to find my bird had escaped its old cage. FML

Today, I came home to find that my sweet kitten had gotten out and dragged a bird inside, where he ripped it to shreds. I found the bird's head in my underwear drawer. FML

Today, my cat thought it was appropriate to bring a bird into the house at 4 a.m.; the bird thought it was appropriate to attack my mom. FML

Unloveable

Today, I adopted a cat, thinking it would make my life a little less lonely. Within an hour, the cat ran away. Not even animals want to be around me. FML

Today, my brother and I found a little bird that couldn't fly. While trying to convince my mom that it couldn't fly so we could keep it, I lightly tossed it in the air and it landed a few feet in front of me. Then my cat grabbed it and ate it. FML

Today, my cat loves to chase birds. In fact, he loves it so much, he ran out of the litter box mid-poop to chase one, forcing me to wipe his ass. FML

Flash, ah ah!

Today, a bird ran into my window. My overzealous cat ran at it like the Flash and smashed his face in the window. He yelped and ran away, then as I was running to see if he was OK, I slammed my face in the door jamb. FML

Today, after we finished making my 6 year-old daughter a net to catch an injured baby bird, when she went out to catch it she witnessed a stray cat catch and eat it. FML

Today, a cat ran into the house and got cornered in my room. Animal control wasn't answering so I did what I could to try to lure it out. It proceeded to chomp down on my finger. Way to start the New Year. FML

Today, I was showing off my new pet bird to my friends over video chat. I opened the cage to demonstrate how friendly he was. Instead of perching on my finger like usual, he flew out the window. I spent the next hour chasing him around the neighborhood in my pajamas. FML

Why wasn't your bird in a cage of some sort? Haven't you heard of gentle acclimating a pet to a new environment? Seems like you fault

That is just incredibly unfortunate OP. it's always nice to get a new pet, but you could not have known the cat would go for your bird. Sorry about that.

Cat can't get to a bird if it was properly housed in a cage. Also, most cats hide in the walls or under furniture, not out the front door! Thankfully they don't venture far. Fyl and fybirdslife.

Typical. Would've been funny if he was named Sylvester and the bird was a canary named Tweety.

Yeah I've got to say that this is 100% your fault. As a responsible owner, you're supposed to supervise pet introductions and keep them separate any time humans are not going to be around. As in doors separating them, not just a cage. The fact that it also was able to immediately run away is a testimony to your responsibility and how much you pay attention to animals. Please don't "adopt" anymore animals. They're better off without you.

Obviously you didn't read OP's comment. She didn't try to introduce the two, her brother let the bird out not knowing about the cat. She hasn't mentioned as far as I've read how the cat got out.
