Today, my mom is convinced that my cat is the reincarnation of Vincent van Gogh. Why? He sleeps under my sunflowers and is a ginger tabby cat. FML

Does your cat miss an ear? If so, then give that cat a brush! Let the painting begin.

Hope it doesn't cut off its ear and isn't too aggressive..

If you see your cat dry-heaving, he's trying to pronounce his last name correctly.

As a person who knows the correct pronunciation of Gogh, I appreciate this joke lol. +1

Maybe I've been saying it wrong for all these years, but isn't it pronounced "go"? I almost feel like an idiot asking that..

It's actually not pronounced 'go', that is the way most English speaking people pronounce it but in Dutch it's a harsh g which doesn't exist in English. Kind of like a Scottish ch, but not quite :)

It's a dutch name, you pronounce it 'Van Gogh' the H is silent but the the g is pronounced, therefore the joke about the cat trying to say his last name.

GOG with 2 harsh G's, google translate can help for the sound. It actually sounds like you're gargling (or gurgling?). The harsh G is a very rare sound in modern languages. I'm sure Americans can joke about this.

Actually, not all Americans are uneducated. Undereducated are a whole maybe. But there is a difference. I was kicked out of an Art class for this exact topic once. Teachers dont like Smart asses.

Not sure why #20 was downvoted on that. Did people not check to see how his name is actually pronounced? I'm American and I knew this, though not at first. Are people that resistant to learning new things, even on FML?

Well now I know, haha. When I was in high school even the art teacher pronounced his name wrong.

I can just imagine if the world thought it were true and the cat became famous. Host of talk show: Vincent, what's it like to be reincarnated into a cat? Cat: ... *licks paw* ... *falls asleep*. Host: Wow, that's incredible!

You're painting your bedroom walls. The cat walks in and walks through the paint tray and tracks all over the floor. You get pissed at the cat for making a mess and your mother kicks you out for not appreciating Vincent Van Gogh's latest masterpiece.

Is there an ear missing and a bullet hole/scar in its stomach? If so then she's right...if not you have a normal cat...

Does your cat have a female kitty friend? Watch out for any ear-sized boxes exchanged between them. If he has any weird suicidal thoughts it'll be tricky, Van Gough's last painting was starry night. Yeah, so it could be any moment.
