Today, it was my daughter's birthday. She had been wanting a cat for a long time, so I went to the animal shelter and got an orange one. As soon as she saw it, she ran upstairs screaming, "GINGER! GINGER!" She refuses to come downstairs until I get rid of "the soulless creature." FML

Disappointing

Today, I showed my 5-year-old son a photo with a ginger cat and her 6 newborn kittens. I forgot to tell my son the cat mom is not the male ginger cat at home, despite them looking exactly same. His excitement became deep sorrow and a tantrum when he figured out that we didn't get half a dozen kittens. FML

Fatal decision

Today, my mom called me an attention seeker and threw a bitch fit because my cat "decided" to die on her birthday. FML

Today, during an argument with my daughter she screamed "everyone hates you!" and stormed off. I flopped down on the couch in frustration where the cat jumped on my lap. "You love me, don't you?" I asked the cat. She crapped on my leg and went to my daughter's room. FML

Today, I gave my wife a cat. The first thing it did when it got out of the box was scratch the shit out of my leg. Next, it ran up to my wife and purred. She said, "Good cat." FML

Today, my daughter forgot my birthday. When I asked her, she said she'd remembered my birthday, but was too busy at work to acknowledge it. However, she did have time to post a message on Facebook, wishing a happy birthday to her cat. FML

Bathtime

Today, my 11 year-old daughter claimed I'm a terrible cat parent. Why? Because in the 4 months that we've had the cat, I haven't given him a bath. Our strictly indoor kitten lives in attack mode, and would paint the walls with my blood if I attempted it. FML

Today, a cat appeared in my basement. I have cats, but not an orange one. I don't know where he came in from. I can hardly afford the two cats and dogs I already have, so keeping him is not an option, not to mention he could have a disease. But it's winter, and I feel like crap for having to kick him out.

That is awful. Who taught her that gingers are soulless? I would keep the kitty and make her learn to love it.

Really.... freaking really? I think some lessons in tact and gratefulness are in order, and maybe a trip to a therapist...

I mean, her reaction sucked, but am I the only one who thinks that, if you're going to get someone a pet as a gift, you should take that person with you to pick them out? Choosing a pet is like making friends or dating- you have to meet the person before you can decide if you're compatible. Especially with cats since cats have been known to randomly hate people. Also, I'm not sure why "soulless" is such an insult seeing as the existence of souls is controversial at best.
