Today, I was making tea when I smelled something burning. My very fluffy cat had put his tail right next to the open flame and burnt his fur. Now I have a semi-hairless cat and a very smelly apartment. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my dumbass cat sat on a lit candle. The whole house now smells like burnt hair and I now have to clip clumps of wax-burnt hair off his bum. FML

PETA has been informed

By Cat owner - 16/02/2024 15:00 - United States - Steele

Today, my cat did the same thing as in the video where a cat lights its tail on fire with a candle and just watches it nonchalantly until it stops burning… Except, instead of watching nonchalantly, he bolted all over the house while screaming his head off. Trying to extinguish him was a nightmare. FML

Today, my cat regurgitated his food right on top of a heating vent located on my floor. Now the whole house smells like hot vomit. FML

Time to go to the vet

By Pooped - 08/09/2023 01:00 - United States

Today, my cat is extremely sick and has trouble grooming himself. As evidenced by his butt. He laid on me for a while and it wasn't until a few minutes after he got off that I realized he had stained my pants. That also explains why my chair suddenly looks so nasty, and why my room smells horrible. FML

Today, my cat knocked over a cup of scalding hot tea - but don't worry, the carpet wasn't damaged. It went all over my leg instead leaving a nice big scar for my holiday. FML

The betrayal of floof

By Chris - 12/06/2024 16:00 - United Kingdom

Today, I tried to give my cat a bath after he got into the attic and got covered in all sorts of shit. Halfway through, he freaked out, jumped out of the tub, and ran around the house dripping wet. He then hid under my bed, and I had to practically dismantle it to get him out. Now my bedroom smells like wet fur and broken trust. FML

Today, I ran into the living room when I heard the smoke alarm going off. Turns out, my friend thought it was a good idea to melt a plastic cup on my floor heater. He also thought the best way to put it out was to urinate on it. My house smells like burnt pee. FML

Why is your cat so close to the flame to begin with and near your tea which you're going to drink..

They might have turned their back for a couple of seconds - cats can be a nightmare when it comes to jumping up near fire and other dangers. Plus I interpreted "tea" as in the meal rather than a drink; I could be wrong but I doubt someone would be using an open flame to make a brew.

There are tea kettles that sit on the stove top, and there are gas stoves. It really isn't that hard to imagine when you put the two together.

I said YDI. Your sweet kitty should never have been anywhere near the flames to begin with. YOu NEVER EVER leave open flames of any kind unattended, especially with children and/or animals in the home. Please be more careful. Instead of bitching about the smell you could be homeless with a dead cat. Thank GOD he was ok. You need to be more careful or there may not be a next time...

You realize that cats can jump on the counter when you turn around? I grew up with a gas stove, so unless you turn it off every time you leave the room that doesn't work very well. I never touched the stove because I was told NOT to.
