‘We buried someone else’s cat’ This guy’s family are one big epic FAIL

Way back in November 2015, Eric Schmidt shared a story involving his family which sounded so damn ridiculous, people struggled to believe it had actually happened.

And if you don't know what that story is about, fear not because it has in recent days the tale of Kitty and the Schmidt family has begun doing the rounds again online, and frankly we could listen to it over and over.

Sharing a screenshot of series of texts which were exchanged between Eric, his parents and his sister, we quickly learned that their pet cat, Kitty, had gone missing, and was tragically found dead soon after.

Or was she?

Well, according to Eric's parents, it turned out she was most definitely not dead – something they only realised after they buried what they believed was their beloved pet only to find her sitting in their home upon their return.

In a post which has racked up 31,000 likes over the past 12 months, it was revealed that instead of burying Kitty, Eric's parents actually buried something else – a rabbit.

And like any upstanding millennial, Eric did what we all do best – he shared it online, and made minor celebrities of his parents… and Kitty.

Take a bow, lads.
