Caturday surprise!

By Cats...FML - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - Australia

Today, it's my sister's birthday. My parents got her a cat. I have serious allergies when it comes to cats. When I brought this issue up with my parents, they replied, "This day is not about you, it's about your sister." I can feel my throat tightening already. FML
I agree, your life sucks 40 610

On your birthday ask for something your parents are allergic to.

What the **** is wrong with parents these days?! Its FMLs like this that make me sooo angry. I think it is safe to assume that with such neglegent parents, you don't have an epipen or an inhaler, so when you can no longer breathe, make sure you call 911- bypass your parents entirely- and take a nice little trip to the ER. Tell the paramedics and doctors WHY you cant breathe. And enjoy your stay. Your lovely parents can foot the bill ;)

You should ask your parents to get you monthly allergy shots. They are expensive but it's their fault you will need them.

Well, you can't both be the favorite child

I don't know about Australia where OP is from, but in Texas, if you have bad allergies to an animal, you can call the local pound and by law they come and pick up the animal because it is endangering the health of an individual in the household. Needless to say it's a great way to ruin everyone's day, but yours.

Hey, maybe they're insinuating they want you out of the house depending on your age I guess. =P

44: I agree with your post, however, that would be the only LEGAL and honest situation. Not all pounds kill the animals when they receive them. A lot of the time, the pound will send animals to non kill shelters to help get the animals adopted.

Give the cat to the animal shelter and say it ran away.

Just put it outside and act like it got out. Duh.

Or take allergy medication like a sensible person and let your sister enjoy her cat. Yay for doctors!

throw the cat into a bag and take it for a little "vacation".

How is 88 ****** up? Everyone loves vacations.

Holy shit, really? In the states animal shelters just kill the animals? Glad i live in germany, you don't hear stuff like that for shelters here. sorry, wrong commented. oh well.

44- Because a), lying is wrong, and b), allergies are serious. They can actually kill you, because such serious allergies actually fluctuate from day to day, closing your throat up more on some days than other days. What's more important, a person or a cat?

nah cant do that here in aus 34 i agree that you should ask for something your parents are allergic to

I guess no one imagined the dog saying what I said....

Sorry op. I severely allergic to cats myself and that's pretty brutal of your parents to be so dumb. How do they think this will turn out? You generally don't out grow an allergy and the lucky ones who do. Well it doesn't happen over night.

And yet you have a pic of a kitten as ur profile pic

Yearning for something (s)he can never have...

You should surgically close all their throats so they know how it feels

When they go to sleep, take the collar off and let it go by a busy road.

Yeah, that TOTALLY seems like a reasonable response. It's not the cat's fault, but that of the parents. So put them in the middle of a busy road.

3, read the FML again. OP is allergic to cats.

#64, what are you, retarded? I read the FML. She's allergic to cats. Since her parents are morons who clearly aren't gonna listen to reason, she should let the cat go on a busy road. Take the collar off so it can't be identified if someone picks it up rather than run it over like they should.

Or donate it to the local Chinese buffet.

There will be a day about you very soon -- when you get hospitalized or die. It would be a shame if something happened to the cat such that you could still breathe freely. I'm not even going to mention about putting antifreeze in a can of tuna.

Okay, I know the OP has allergies, but the OP doesn't need to KILL the cat.

I know that was a joke, but still let me point out that modern "satanism", which is what most people nowadays who identify themselves with the term actually follow, does not call for the sacrifice of animals, or other violent acts typically associated with "Satanism". So no, the girl above probably does not kill cats.

She can always just shave that pussy. Y'know, because it's the dander in the fur that causes allergic reactions.

You worship the devil, you kill cats. That's the way the cookie crumbles, that's the why the kitty crumples, snaps, squeals, and dies.

Actually, it's the enzymes in the saliva that cause most allergies. Cat licks fur; fur sheds; your histamines are ******!

Shaving her sisters pussy sounds a bit incestish... and #39.. Allergies can kill, so it's either her or the cat...

Actually, there are still some dander allergies. I have dander allergies, and boy, the stories I can tell. I actually missed a class because I touched my face after petting a hamster, and my throat felt weird and it was hard to breathe.

Leave the door open when they're away and say the cat "accidentally" got out, problem solved (:

Doesn't really work if the cat is an outdoor cat anyway.

Just give it away or throw it outside, your parents are ****** there messing around with your life.

I agree. I don't get some adults these days.

That sucks! and nice one number 4 hahaha

My dad did the same thing!!! I've literally been sick for 2 months. I feel your pain OP :(

Actually, if you're 18, that could be a hint.

Do this OP. Do this do this do this do this

I have the mobile app. It doesn't tell you where the OP is from. But obviously most people know the gist of what 911 is, so your correction just makes you look like a nit picky attention monger.

Erm... It shows that OP is from Australia.

ERM. Read what i posted. i have the mobile app. On said MOBILE APP, it does NOT show where the poster is from.

Erm,I have the mobile app as well and it does tell you where they are from :)

The category is the top left. It does in fact say Australia in the top right. Instead of saying they are seeking attention, you could have just said "oops, thanks for correcting me," instead of looking like a massive prick.

For me it doesn't tell me on my iPhone, only on my iPad

One problem, if OP can't breathe, OP can't talk

Just make sure the cat stays away from you and your stuff. Buy some nasal spray, it helps with sneezing, and some reactine, and try not to go near it. If that doesn't help then there's not much you can do.

with a serious allergy, NONE of that will help. So much as being in the same room as it will set the allergy off. Its very sensative.

I had a very serious allergy to cats but that worked for me. It depends on the person.

I am so allergic to cats if i am in the same house as them I have to go straight to the hospital.
