Today, my dad texted me while I was in school saying, "Your cat vomited. Covered it up with a bowl so you can clean it when you come home." FML

Today, at work I got an urgent message from my boyfriend that there was an emergency and I should come home immediately. I took my last personal day of the month and drove the half-hour home. The emergency? The cat had vomited on the comforter. FML

Today, I went into my parents' room after spending pretty much all weekend in my their bed while they were out of town. I happened to look out the window, and on the windowsill was a puddle of cat vomit with a condom in it. FML

Today, my cat was in the bathroom with me. I was getting undressed to get into the shower. My cat looked at me after I'd undressed and then threw up all over the rug. FML

Today, I worked a 12-hour shift. Today my parents' cat also had diarrhoea. Rather than clean it up when said cat projectile shat all through my bed, they simply closed my door and left it for me. Since it's in my room, apparently it's my problem. They can't understand why I'm pissed. FML

Today, I noticed my cat was about to vomit on the rug and yelled at her to move. She spooked and managed to throw up while running. I still had to clean up the rug. FML

Today, I’m pet-sitting for my parents while they’re on vacation. So far, one cat has projectile vomited all over the living room, and another has pooped in their bed. Twice. My parents were not concerned when I called, and said this is normal behavior. FML

Today, I turned over in my sleep and fell out of bed, face-first into a puddle of cold cat vomit that my cat had left for me. FML

Today, I had an upset stomach. I lay down in bed with a bucket nearby just in case. Later on, the urge to vomit overcame me, and I puked into the bucket. I realised too late that my cat had chosen to sleep in it. He jumped out and spread vomit all over my apartment. FML

Signs of distress

By Anonymous - 29/04/2022 04:00

Today, I was woken up by my cat, who normally doesn't bother me in the morning, meowing desperately and trying to get me to wake up. Fearing that something was very wrong, I jumped out of bed. He gestured for me to follow him, so I did. I followed him all the way to the kitchen, where he proceeded to puke. FML

Today my cat watched me clean and refill his water bowls, then shoved his fresh-out-of-the-litter-box paw in my glass of water. FML

I agree that the cat is OP's responsibility, however the father was being lazy. OP would have cleaned it up but he/she was at school. Who would leave cat vomit on the floor? That is unsanitary and just gross. OP's dad could have cleaned it up for the sake of cleanliness...

This is basically happened to me... And it kind of ticks me off. It's just illogical to leave the cat vomit there. It doesn't matter if it's OP's cat (not to mention, for example, my cats are as much mine as my dad's, but when they do something wrong he always refers to them as my cats, not his. when he's petting them, he always calls them his), the dad shouldn't just leave it there. It's unsanitary, and it'll just be harder to clean up later. Everyone is saying the OP needs to take responsibility, and that if she can't take care of the cat, she shouldn't have it. She was AT SCHOOL. It's not that she's not taking care of her cat, she's just away at the moment (no one stays with their pet 24/7, it's not possible.) The dad should have cleaned it up, it's not like it would take long, and yelled at her later. And furthermore, the OP doesn't say that she's not going to clean it up when she gets home. She doesn't say she's not going to "take responsibility" for it, now does she?

^ Agreed 100%. Really, why would anyone just leave vomit on the floor? That's just pure laziness, not to mention really nasty.

Why would he yell at her later for something she had no control over? That's something parents do I'll never understand. Honestly, if parents complain about a pet ruining the carpet because they decided to leave it until their kid gets home from where ever they might be, even if they're gone for days it's their fault. Carpet is expensive yo replace so which would they rather do? Waste hundreds on carpet/have a nasty ass carpet or take 2 minutes to swallow their pride & clean it themselves. They agreed on letting the kid have the animal & if they didn't then they shouldn't have let their kid walk all over them & con them into keeping it if all they're going to do is bitch about it.

Agreed!! I only added that part about yelling because that's generally what parents do. :P

Today, I'm in training at an animal shelter. There's an adorable tiny kitten there, which my boss said not to touch because it's feral. "No way he's dangerous!" I said, reaching into the cage to pet it. It struck like a cobra and tore up my arm. My first on-the-job injury is from a KITTEN. FML
