Today, I woke up to the news that my son had put the cat in the dryer the night before. He didn't turn it on, and the cat is just fine, but now I need a new dryer so my clothes won't smell like cat urine. FML

Today, I woke up at the ungodly hour of 4AM to my cat clawing at my door and yelling at me. Normally I'd just wait until he stopped, but he was persistent, so I got up and opened the door to see what he wanted. He then corralled me to the laundry room. My dryer was on fire. Good boy. FML

Today, my cat had the bright idea of giving birth in the dryer, on top of all my new white towels. FML

Today, I was looking in my laundry basket for a clean tank top to wear. As I felt around, I realized that most of my clothes were still wet after two days. After asking my mom what was wrong with the dryer, I found out that for two days my cat had been using my laundry basket as a litter box. FML

Today, my mom asked me to pull out the load of laundry she'd stuck in the dryer. Instead of clothes, I pulled out my dead cat. FML

Today, I was hurriedly doing laundry. I threw a second load in the dryer and slammed the door shut. All of a sudden, I heard scratching and whining coming from the dryer. My cat probably hates me now. FML

Today, I woke up and stepped on a wet jacket. After smelling what it was, it turns out the cat had peed all over my laundry, especially the waterproof jacket, and after attempting to clean it up, it dripped everywhere and the entire apartment now smells like cat piss. FML

Today, my grandma seemingly decided that it was a really nice day to put my cat in the dryer. FML

Today, after putting the same load of laundry through the wash four times, I was wondering why my clothes kept smelling worse and worse. Turns out, my cat learned how to open and pee in the detergent funnel. FML

Today, I've been potty training my son and almost all of his clothes have been peed on, but for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to do all the laundry together. When I was getting it out of the dryer, everything smelled like pee. FML

Today, I found out the reason my clothes have been smelling a little funny isn't because I sweat heavily, it's because of the dead rat in the back of my dryer. FML

At least you don't need a new dryer AND a new kitty. And I would suspect the smell of burning kitty hair and flesh and death would be a little worse than cat pee. F the cat's life.

A few cycles at maximum teperature and some cleaning should fix the smell @114 (Rusty Guns) Nope they aren't, they learn and explore, for making mistakes especially when we have not told the what will be the results, it's not their fault!

No, I'm pretty sure they're just dumb. I feel sorry for them, they're so stupid.

Oh, poor kitty. Long talk with your son forthcoming, or I hope. My last roommate accidentally locked her cat in the dryer. She was doing laundry and he was hovering around her and he jumped in as she was done and she closed the door with her butt and left for the night. She felt terrible! My cats like to hover around me so I always do a kitty census whenever I'm doing laundry or coming in/out of the garage.

My grandmother accidentally locked one of our cats in the dryer and then turned it on! She was switching over the laundry and our cat jumped in while she was getting the clothes out of the washer. She threw the clothes in, shut the door and turned it on. He only went for a tumble or two because she heard the thump before she left the laundry room so he was fine but she felt terrible. It never stopped him from sitting in the dryer though.. he loved sitting in the warmth.

I'm glad the cat didn't suffocate. There might be a serious problem here depending on his age. I hope you keep an eye on how your son treats the cat and other animals and particularly how they react to him. If he was simply too young to know better, I think you should have been keeping a sharper eye on him so he didn't have the chance to do this.

Wow, some of you need to lay off. The kid's being a kid. I did all sorts of obnoxious shit when I was little. I was punished for it, like this kid should be, but with the understanding that I was a KID. He's not gonna be a serial killer, ****, he probably had no clue what would have happened. As for coming down on dad...shit happens, no parent ever can anticipate every thing a kid's going to do and prevent it.

I CALL FAKE. If the cat was in there all night, it probably slept at some point. And a cat will NOT "eliminate" where it sleeps.

Cats, like humans, can not hold in their urine forever. Most cats will not WILLINGLY pee where they sleep, but depending on how long they were trapped in the drier, it may have been beyond their control.

Wow, that was my first post here ever, and it got removed? There was no vulgarity in it, just what I thought to be a valid point. Can the moderators please explain?

Hi Zitroaneleh. Your (7th ever) comment was moderated because it violated one of the site rules, namely: "Don't post any comments which comment on the validity of an FML (screaming Fake, It's not an FML for example), or even on whether the FML deserves to be on the website. Don't ruin the website for the other users." I tend to let it slide when there's a proper explanation for why you think it's a fake, but some of my fellow moderators don't. I've restored your post this time ;)

Really, the 7th post? Yikes, that's what happens when your brother uses your computer sometimes. Also, the violation is a direct result of MY failure to read ALL of the site rules. My apologies. Thanks for the explanation.
