[–]Bazzie 478 points479 points ago

Well didn't you just depress the hell out of me just before I was going to bed.

[–]Lucifers_Friend 221 points222 points ago

It's okay. The cat didn't actually say that, it's just an image macro.

[–]victoriarosehh 132 points133 points ago

I'm not sad for the cat, just for every little kid who actually went through that. He just had to remind me q.q

[–]coloh91 119 points120 points ago

I am actually sad for the cat. In the same way I was sad for my stuffed animals when my mom made me pick out my least favorites for charity. What if the new kid didn't like them?

I feel irrational sympathy for inanimate objects. And I hate it.

[–]victoriarosehh 42 points43 points ago

When you read stuff in the cats perspective, it messes with your brain :/ The dad just went to the wrong place because he got some bad directions :D They all had a great time and lived happily ever after, trust me I saw it happen.

[–]befron 10 points11 points ago

thanks man :)

[–]Cyborg771 10 points11 points ago

Don't feel sorry for the lamp. It's just a lamp! Are you crazy?

[–]hockal00gy 9 points10 points ago

But I love it!

[–]befron 2 points3 points ago

real.... I remember seeing that commercial like 10 years ago, and never since.

[–]Globalwarmingisfake 3 points4 points ago

But I love lamp!

[–]robinjam 6 points7 points ago

I built a new computer recently. While I was plugging all the bits together I could just fell feel my old computer watching with a mixture of curiosity and jealousy.

[–]sinestetici 3 points4 points ago

I use to do the same thing. I always made sure my stuffed animals were in groups of at least two, so that they were never lonely.

[–]eifersucht12a 9 points10 points ago

I remember when I left for college my mom made me sort out my toys to be either thrown away or donated to the local daycare. I couldn't help but pick my favorite sheriff doll my dad gave me before he went away to take with me, but I can't imagine how abandoned my other toys would have felt if they were somehow aware.

In the end though I ended up giving the toys to a girl from the day care center. Even my sheriff. I sat with her and played with them one last time and said my goodbyes. I just hope she loves them like I did.

I'd like to hear the toys' story. If only they could talk eh?

[–]BigNil05 2 points3 points ago

What is this?? Toy Story 3?

[–]coloh91 1 point2 points ago

You had me going for a while there. My devotion to my stuffed animals coupled with how Toy Story's timeline has mirrored my own makes this series so sentimental to me!

[–]bucsboy47 0 points1 point ago

I received those stuffed animals. I loved them dearly, then passed them personally along to another individual who said he'd do the same.

[–]Bachelormom 2 points3 points ago

As a parent, this is my worst fear for my kids... And then me. I dont want the bad parent award. Even if I did just invite everyone the day before.

[–]victoriarosehh 2 points3 points ago

I have had a party where nearly everyone came an hour late. It was a very stressful hour.

I came to realize that you should follow up, if you invite someone, ask them ahead of the party if they are going to make it and remind them when they day is coming up. I invited 10 people to a Halloween party, they all showed, and yet my mom who has many close friends who love her invited 40. I followed up with my friends but my mom said she gave her friends a card and that was the end of it, I think she only had 8 people show.

Don't worry too much about it, yeah it sucks but in a few days they will be over it.

[–]ArchangelPT 36 points37 points ago

Irrelevant, shit's still depressing.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

So the cat's hopes and dreams weren't crushed? Are you sure because that cat looks pretty sad.

[–]spaetzele 7 points8 points ago

Seriously, I just cried for no friggin' reason. STUPID CAT.

[–]RedditGreenit 2 points3 points ago

Obligatory sadness

[–]unremarkableusername 8 points9 points ago

This one always gets me

[–]JUST_GIVE_IT_A_TRY 6 points7 points ago

The balloon is black representing the cat's despair.

[–]plane0 5 points6 points ago

Its not his fault you didn't show up!

[–]Treerific 2 points3 points ago

lol, who are you kidding. You're not going to bed.

[–]SirGrover 0 points1 point ago

That's me at facebook events.

[–]EmmaInk 0 points1 point ago

I was going to say the exact same thing. Wahhh.

[–]Swansatron 76 points77 points ago

Hit home.. :(

[–]biggiet2049 20 points21 points ago

Makes me miss my two cats my dad just randomly dropped on a farm one day when I was at school...

[–]Swansatron 12 points13 points ago

:(

[–]Humongous_Douchebag 10 points11 points ago

Was it a farm out in the country?

With a great big barn with lots of mice for them to chase?

...Oh god, I'm gonna make myself cry.

[–]MorallyStarved 6 points7 points ago

Nope, it was just a bridge.

[–]Korist 4 points5 points ago

DDDDD:

[–]biggiet2049 1 point2 points ago

I'd like to think it was a wide vast prairie with a big red barn in the middle, with hundreds of little mice and rivers of milk and tuna as well as giant balls of cat nip...god I hope there in a better place now :(

[–]MaybeMyMobileAccount 6 points7 points ago

What the fuck kind of douchebag does that...?

[–]biggiet2049 3 points4 points ago

That's what I thought man. I raised them both for like ten years ever since I was a little kid then. Then I come home to this. All I could think of was all my farmer buddies telling stories of stray cats and the guns :'(

[–]MaybeMyMobileAccount 0 points1 point ago

;_;

That reminds me of the time when I was 10ish(?) and I went to church with my parents (im an atheist now) and we let my cat out...

When we got back she never returned. That cat had been with me my whole life until then, I was so fucking depressed I cried for like 3 days straight...

That cat actually started my atheism because I thought "When I die and go to heaven buttons isnt going to be there? Yeah fuck you"

[–]flamingiceriver 6 points7 points ago

I had a birthday party at a arcade when I was younger... No one came. It hit home...

[–]MinimalisticGlutton 4 points5 points ago

Are you me?

[–]Swansatron 2 points3 points ago

:( I'm sorry.

[–]trappedinabox 81 points82 points ago

26 people invited. 0 people here now. 3 later if I'm lucky though. Happy 28th birthday to me. I know that feel, cat. I know that feel.

[–]TheBrownLion 23 points24 points ago

The interwebz is here for you friend. Happy birthday you fantastic son of a bitch :)

[–]131ackknight 9 points10 points ago

What city are you in? I'll come chill.

[–]Lost_in_Surburbia 23 points24 points ago

Depressingly relevant

[–]sinestetici 5 points6 points ago

Oh man...that's just too much.

Gimme an hour, I'll round up some folks and we'll head on over, complete with cans of tuna, some cardboard boxes, loads of catnip, and some peacock feathers for extra measure.

[–]analcarbomb 2 points3 points ago

This cat is going to have a lot of basement dwellers come to his party.

[–]internet_dragon 64 points65 points ago

I'll come to your party!

[–]JoePurdy 35 points36 points ago

This is fucking depressing...

[–]stinky-weaselteats 8 points9 points ago

...it's the forever alone birthday cat and my heart sinks.

[–]CinLordOfGwynders 53 points54 points ago

God damn that made me sad.

[–]RazerHail 12 points13 points ago

God I just want to drop everything and cry...

[–]nr1212 61 points62 points ago

God damn onions...

[–]Warehouse13 19 points20 points ago

I would like to know why The Master is crying.

[–]Piano_Guy_Tries 6 points7 points ago

He's just imitating the weeping angels. Or he has a soft spot for cats.

[–]JerichoBlack 6 points7 points ago

He lost his laser screwdriver.

[–]Scarletwings 3 points4 points ago

[–]Flair is too mainstreamRunningInSquares 29 points30 points ago

Please don't let this become a regular because that was really depressing T_______T

[–]DebacleRoberts 9 points10 points ago

Oooohh, my heart.

[–]blackstonesinger 10 points11 points ago

I could only look at that for half a second before it made me extra sad...

[–]Shaddaaaaaapp 35 points36 points ago

I don't think my heart can bear this memes existence.

[–]on_three 16 points17 points ago

Who (besides me) opened this and immediately began to verbally console the poor baby kitty?

[–]buttons_arent_toys 8 points9 points ago

instantly.

[–]dergster 8 points9 points ago

SOMEONE PHOTOSHOP OTHER CATS INTO THIS SO I DON'T FEEL BAD FOR IT ANYMORE. NOW!

[–]crestfallenlyric 7 points8 points ago

[–]fa9 6 points7 points ago

"this is MY house and we are not having any more parties."

"that's cute"

[–]KoolAidPenguin 7 points8 points ago

As soon as I read that I received a sharp stabbing in my gut. I keep trying to convince myself that it didn't actually happen but the cat is too darn sad :'(

[–]Pum_Pum 14 points15 points ago

Nearly shed a tear.

[–]captainmorgan23 6 points7 points ago

well fuck. now i gotta go out at midnight and buy some catnip and laser pointers to send to this cat to make it happy.

[–]pineapplepower12 5 points6 points ago

[–]physicscat[!] 6 points7 points ago

This was uncalled for.

[–]SolarSailing 5 points6 points ago

This made me sadder than it should have. :(

[–]chemicalinxs 5 points6 points ago

This one actually breaks my heart.

[–]WiseYogurt 8 points9 points ago

He should burn in hell for lying to the poor thing.

I'll throw her a party. Everyone's invited. There will be cake.

And catnip.

[–]sinestetici 2 points3 points ago

Also little fuzzy mice right? I'll bet she loves little fuzzy mice.

[–]AlterBridgeFan 13 points14 points ago

I am sorry little friend. I will get you some tuna. Would you like some tuna?

[–]Povidius 5 points6 points ago

Emergency surprise party NAO!!!!

I haven't been so saddened by something so silly since I saw that video about the panda

[–]June16th 2 points3 points ago

Today's my birthday too (IRL AND IRL)! Mine sucked because I had to wake up at 4am in Portland Oregon to fly out to Raleigh NC. I was robbed of three hours of my birthday, damnit!

[–]EmmaInk 0 points1 point ago

But Raleigh is nice :)

[–]greatestfall 0 points1 point ago

I'm sorry you had to go from a wonderful place like Portland to a shitty place like North Carolina.

[–]HoboSpider -1 points0 points ago

I can confirm that waking up in Portland sucks.

[–]hiimjared69 2 points3 points ago

This is legitimately depressing.

[–]13_dweller 1 point2 points ago

Lol I actually have birthday today, I was born at 1:00 AM and they said everyone would be there.

[–]Atlantid 1 point2 points ago

“Dear Kitty,

I sincerely apologize about losing all the invitations you sent out to your eighth birthday party. That’s why none of your classmates showed up. Not because you threw up when they turned the lights off at the Planetarium. No one even noticed that. Also, Janey Masterson’s mother is a whore, and with gin on her breath at 10:00 in the morning, she’s got some nerve kicking us out of the carpool.

Love,

Postmaster General."

[–]NinjasRaven 1 point2 points ago

The cat is about .0012 from popping that ballon

[–]Rubyrues 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of my eighth birthday.... Thanks OP, I'd had that memory wonderfully repressed.

[–]LethalAtheist 0 points1 point ago

This has never happened to me because I haven't had birthday parties since the kids started to get mean (playing it safe), but I witnessed it happen at a sweet 16. Brutally sad.

[–]andy1413 0 points1 point ago

for some reasons this.....kills me

I have such overwhelming sadness for that cat...it just brings out so much empathy. I NEVER KNEW IT EXISTED UNTIL NOW!

[–]kylenilreb 0 points1 point ago

One of the saddest things I've ever seen on reddit. Lovely last thing to view before going to sleep. I hope my dreams are Filled with cats throwing awesome birthday shindigs =(

I need to go hug my cat now.

[–]aeternum33 0 points1 point ago

This is the saddest meme I've ever seen.

[–]finlander123 0 points1 point ago

I always downvote sad birthday cats (sorry) because i can't stand seeing a sad cat.

[–]alltimeisrelative 0 points1 point ago

I think this cat looks more surprised or confused than sad. I know its ears are down (but its a Scottish Fold and they have small ears), but he doesn't have a very sad expression on his face.

It's more like "Oh, look a balloon. How nifty!"

[–]flux_fluxing 0 points1 point ago

This breaks my heart and I don't even like cats.

[–]sariouso 0 points1 point ago

[–]Twotonegypsy 0 points1 point ago

Hosted a Halloween party once... only one person showed up, that person being my girlfriend at the time. I made mixed cd's, turned the garage into a bitching dance room. Decorated with lights every where and scary music outside. Made food, snacks... had awesome plans of best costume and a scavenger hunt... even made really awesome flyers for everyone... one person came. It's been 8 years since that happened and I still get sad. I thought I had friends back then.

[–]Athene_Wins 0 points1 point ago

I'm sorry cat. You have no friends.

[–]the_dyslexic_kid 0 points1 point ago

Didn't even wait one single day to repost. http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/v5diu/my_cat_with_a_balloon/ Hilarious captions, but fucking disgraceful how many up votes this got.

The last post is literally still on my front page and this one is already next to it.

[–]phyzome -2 points-1 points ago

Original was a reddit post just 2 hours prior: http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/v5diu/my_cat_with_a_balloon/

This should be on r/aww. I literally went "awww" as soon as I saw this.

[–]BearBeatsLion -1 points0 points ago

Here here

[–]elmombaker -1 points0 points ago

What part of this belongs on /r/adviceanimals.

Edit: Advice animals was created for all of the memes out there. A picture can't just become a meme by having writing put over the top. This should really belong on /r/lolcats, or even /r/funny.

[–]macpop10 -5 points-4 points ago

reddit, please don't make this a thing

THIS STUFF IS FUNNY TO THE WUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!
