And it sounds like this epic fail isn't even uncommon
A HEARTBROKEN mum shared an emotional Facebook post about her beloved dead cat… but what happened next will leave you in stitches.
Following the “death” of her cute moggy, Cathy Vickers was quick to share the sad news on social media.
She said: “RIP sweet Tom. You will always be the coolest cat. My boys will miss you!”
Cathy’s mates replied offering their condolences, and some even used the crying Facebook reaction to show their support.
But an hour later, the mum’s second status shocked everyone.
She hilariously admitted: “Ok this is really embarrassing.
“Idk whose cat we buried but, Tom just showed up at our house.
“Only at the Vickers house.
“Got some happy boys here.”
Cathy’s son was so amused by the feline blunder that he posted screenshots of the epic fail to Twitter.
Over 160,000 people liked the post, with dozens of commenters remarking that the story made them chuckle.
Many have been desperate to find out the identity of the dead cat that is currently buried in Cathy's garden.
Bizarrely, it seems that Cathy’s mistake isn’t rare.

Another said: “This happened to my mom and I when we thought our cat got ran over, went missing for 3 days comes back the night we bury lol.”
