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

Same thing different taste

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

PETA has been informed

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

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

Today, I tried to wax my own Brazilian. My housemate’s cat rolled onto a half-used wax strip on the floor. The poor cat now has a small, less-fluffy patch, and I still haven’t figured out how to wax myself. 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, while moving my wax burner away from the window, I spilled hot wax all over my hands, the wall, and in my electric fireplace. FML

Smells better when turned on

Today, my cat peed on my stove. There’s multiple clean litter-boxes that he could have used instead. FML

Today, my cat fell into the toilet, and I had to save him. I now have a soggy cat and scratched arms. FML

The cat's ass does seem to have been very dumb for sitting on the candle. Alternatively, you might feel sympathy for the cat's ass if it wasn't the ass's fault and it was just along for the dumb cat's ride...

Mostly a double FML for your cat to have burnt his ass and to have an owner with little sympathy

You're not the only one mate. My cat's tail has caught on fire from a lit candle on my table. Burnt cat does not smell great. FYL

Hey everyone, OP here. I have two cats (one is 4, the other is a year.) I put the candle up where the one year old had no business being in the first place. He's not exactly to brightest crayon in the box to begin with. I don't know how, and I don't know why but he sat directly on it. He didn't get hurt thank god, but I've now designed chicken wire cages to go around the candle to prevent this from happening again. (And believe me, I had sympathy, until I realized he wasn't hurt.)
